Overview

Description

Such a rare and wonderful find in the much-loved rolling hills of Carefree. Set on just shy of an acre, this block home exudes an old-world charm. With soaring ceilings and a grand fireplace as an anchor, the living & dining spaces are generous and open. Wrapping around the south side of the home is an oversized patio just right for dining al fresco, taking in mountain sunsets and Desert Forest golf course. Eat in kitchen is big and bright. Fabulous 3 car garage and a separate RV garage that is plumbed with water and electrical. Just minutes away from the amenities of the Civana Resort and close to the downtown core of Carefree offering multiple artistic and cultural events.
