Eclectic property

We had an overall nice stay! The only thing I would improve upon is the couch in the hang out location was uncomfortable and tired.

About the host

Hosted by Carlie Back

Carlie Back moved to Arizona from western New York in the early 80's to attend ASU and has enjoyed living at the base of South Mountain Park after graduating. She has 20 plus years as a real estate agent, specializing in the area and is very knowledgeable. She enjoys the hiking, the beautiful views, the small town feel and the close proximity to downtown, the airport, ASU and all other parts of the valley. She believes this area has always been the best kept secret!

Why they chose this property

Beautiful and unusual home that is cheerful and fun to be in! The home is minutes to shopping, spring training, downtown, golfing, and most activities. It is a very short walk to two popular hiking trails and the canal trails. The setting is private and tranquil with the feeling of being far away, while still minutes from all of the great Arizona activities!

What makes this property unique

Private and quiet beautiful desert setting. Custom home on a one acre lot, designed by local architect. Contemporary design with whimsical furnishings. Open and bright with views of the mountains! Plenty of parking. Walking distance to top trails in the valley!
