Situated on nearly an acre of level land in a neighborhood setting is a Connecticut colonial that provides easy access to a well-known rails-to-trails system.
Built in 1965, the 3,360-square-foot home at 37 Tamara Circle, Avon is spacious with nine rooms total, including four bedrooms and four bathrooms.
The home is accented by hardwood floors, two fireplaces, a chef’s kitchen, a home office, a partially finished lower level and a wooded lot with a private backyard.
It has a great location –- only a three-minute walk to the Farmington Canal Heritage Trail. Also nearby are the Golf Club of Avon, Fisher Meadows Recreation Area and walking/hiking trails. And, you will have the opportunity to become a regular at the local Hopmeadow Brewing Co., a short walk from home located just off the rails-to-trails path.
“This home has a great location,” says Evan L. Berman, the home’s listing agent and team leader of the Broder team, part of William Raveis Real Estate in West Hartford. “It is in a convenient location and a neighborhood setting; yet it is private.”
The home has three entrances in front of the home: into the foyer, the mudroom or an office which is attached. The newer mudroom area is a large space with built-ins and cubbies for an easy in-and-out lifestyle.
Through the foyer is the formal living room adorned by a wood-burning fireplace. Work from home is a breeze in the spacious home office with built-ins.
The great room or family room is open to both the dining room and the well-appointed kitchen. Natural light shines into this space through the wall of French doors opening to a large patio and a full fenced rear yard with a lawn irrigation system.
The standout, eat-in kitchen has been updated and is roomy for entertaining. A center island provides seating, storage and a cooktop with a lighted overhead stainless hood. There are copious cabinets (some with easy pull-out drawers or glass fronts), stainless appliances, a tile backsplash, double sinks and granite counters. Under-cabinet lighting gives the space a warm ambience. A half bath with a vessel sink rounds out the main level.
The second floor houses four bedrooms, all with generous closets. The large primary suite is a grand space with a cathedral ceiling. The closet includes built-ins and a dressing area. The large bathroom has a terra cotta floor, a jetted tub with windows facing the side yard, double sinks, a separate stall shower and skylights. Just off the primary is a convenient laundry room.
One of the bedrooms is an en suite and is the perfect room for overnight guests. The other two bedrooms share the common hall bathroom.

The partially finished lower level provides an additional 175-square-foot bonus space that has plenty of uses — a home gym, a play room or a second home office. Additionally, there is a separate work space and storage area on this level.
The home has a septic system and a private well. It is wired for a generator. The attic is accessible through the garage and the upper level. There is a newer oil tank, heating system and central air conditioning.
A two-car garage is attached to the home. A shed provides backyard storage for oversize outdoor items. A paver patio for entertaining comes with a built-in firepit for family and friends to enjoy year-round. The grand turnaround driveway can park several cars.
The current owners have lived in the home for the past 20 years. “They have loved everything about the house,” the listing agent says. “They entertained a lot.”
The listing price of the home is $674,900. “This is a house of good value,” says Berman, who points out that 37 Tamara Circle is priced around $200 per square foot compared to Avon’s average hovering around $275 per square foot.
The home is just minutes from shopping, restaurants, entertainment, cultural events and Route 44, and provides easy access to major highways.
