This is easily one of the best lots in all of Carefree. Full 360 degree views, complete privacy, and a turnkey setup that's hard to match. The home has been recently updated and is ready for you to move in with little to no work needed. Whether you're looking to entertain, relax, or just enjoy the peace of the desert, this layout delivers. Master bedroom is on the main level, and the floor plan works perfectly for any sized family. Vaulted ceilings, open great room, wood-look flooring, neutral tones, and a warm fireplace give the space a clean and comfortable feel.
The kitchen has granite counters, stainless steel appliances, tile backsplash, pendant lighting, and a center island with breakfast seating. There's also a cozy den plus a finished basement with a huge bonus room that's perfect for an entertainment setup, gym, or office.
The backyard is resort-style. Built-in BBQ, paver patio, covered gazebo, outdoor fireplace, and a sparkling pool. All low maintenance and designed for easy indoor-outdoor living.
This part of Carefree is what out-of-state buyers dream about. Wide open space, paved streets, and a quiet neighborhood that still keeps you close to top-tier golf, hiking trails, shopping, and restaurants. You get the views and privacy without feeling disconnected. Plus, it's a quick shot to Scottsdale and not far from the airport.
This kind of opportunity is rare. The home checks every box and it's priced to move.
