Set on a nearly one-acre corner lot in the hills of Carefree, this thoughtfully designed home offers privacy, space, and sweeping mountain and sunset views year-round.
Spanning 3,403 square feet, the flexible floor plan includes 4 bedrooms plus an office, offering the option for a fifth bedroom or dedicated workspace. A separate in-law suite with its own bath and shower adds versatility for guests or multi-generational living. The primary suite serves as a private retreat with a spacious walk-in shower and closet. A central bathroom with a deep soaking tub enhances everyday comfort, while recent updates--including a new roof and skylights (2025) and recessed lighting in the main hallway-- bring in natural light and peace of mind. Timeless Saltillo tile flooring, vaulted ceilings in the living areas, and a two-way wood-burning fireplace create warm, inviting spaces filled with character. Outdoor living is a highlight, featuring a screened back porch, private pool, and ample parking with a front turnabout driveway and a long concrete driveway leading to the garage.
Evenings bring peaceful desert surroundings, native wildlife, exceptional stargazing under Carefree's dark skies, and a twinkle of city lights in the distance offering a rare balance of seclusion and convenience just minutes from hiking, lakes, and the shops and restaurants of Carefree and Cave Creek.
