Why the Owner Chose Carefree
We immediately fell in love with the serene resort-like beauty of the fountains, the massive leafy Sycamore trees and climbing vines and shade they provided, and how the house wrapped itself around this oasis to always pull the outside-in. From the street one would never know the incredible treasure kept within; it's been often compared to the Royal Palms Resort in Scottsdale and other 5-star resort hotels.
Owner's Map of Carefree
With my background in architecture and real estate development, design underscores everything we as a family do, where we stay when we vacation, and the homes we choose to live in. We've been married almost 19 years and have two boys. As a family we enjoy skiing, mountain biking, basketball, photography and hiking.
