CAREFREE, AZ—A $50 million, exclusive condominium project is coming to Carefree. Easy Street will feature 44 luxurious, amenity-stocked condos ranging in price from $600,000 to $2.5 million. The project features scenic mountain views and a resort-like "carefree" lifestyle on Easy Street.
Ed Lewis, president and CEO of Butte Easy Street LLC and other development companies under the Butte Companies umbrella, tells GlobeSt.com: "Easy Street responds to the growing demand for ultra-luxury living in the heart of the dining, shopping, arts, entertainment and culture districts of our finest communities. Our homebuyers are seeking exquisite homes and the carefree lifestyle they treasure in one place."
The 1,800 to 3,600-square-foot limited availability residences will be offered in 13 distinctive floor plans, with upgraded finishes, such as stone flooring, fireplaces, 11-foot ceilings, granite or quartz slab countertops, a variety of wood cabinetry, and stand-alone tubs and upgraded stainless steel appliances. All residences will be "smart wired" for multiple cable, telephone and Internet options, and whole-home automation. Spacious courtyards and upper terraces with collapsing patio doors overlook the vista views of Black Mountain, the green belt and Easy Street's luxury second floor pool and spa. First-floor dwellings allow each resident a private walk-up garden courtyard along Easy Street.
Located near Carefree Drive and Tom Darlington Road (Scottsdale Road), Easy Street is positioned in the middle of one of Arizona's walkable communities with the Carefree Village and amphitheater within steps. The community, which encompasses 2.5 acres on the south side of Easy Street, includes a resident lobby at street level to provide visitor entry and convenient resident access to shopping and dining. The project includes a clubhouse with a golf play lounge, demonstration and catering kitchen, a second floor entertainment deck, a business center and conference room, a fitness pavilion with steam and massage facilities, a climate-controlled wine grotto with private lockers, a heated pool and spa, fireplace, wet bar, and an outdoor area with barbecue grills.
Elite services elevate residents' lifestyle, including a full time, on-site concierge to provide resident assistance with entertainment scheduling, business needs and daily personal duties such as dry cleaning, a porter and absentee homeowner services. Secured parking with elevator service will be located under the building. Private lockable garages and storage rooms will be available.
"We are thrilled to have the Easy Street project add to the uniqueness and vitality of Carefree," said Mayor Les Peterson. "The design, amenities and views from the project provide our current and future residents the best in luxury living right in the heart of our town center."
Easy Street takes its design inspiration from the uniqueness of Carefree and the extraordinary views afforded by Black Mountain and the surrounding Tonto National Forest. The architectural design is desert contemporary with sophisticated colors and materials. Easy Street will be constructed of concrete and steel walls. Floors have been designed by an acoustical engineer to significantly exceed sound attenuation building codes.
The sales center is opening this month. The sales center is located at 33 Easy St. The groundbreaking is planned for June 2016 with completion expected by fall 2017.
"Easy Street represents the region's finest in ultra-luxury condominiums," said Lewis. "Residents will take in Carefree's storied big skies, scenic mountain views and our own greenbelt from their balconies. Our 44 Easy Street owners will enjoy pedestrian-friendly 'Main Street' living, with dining, shopping, arts and exciting entertainment in the town center, just steps from their front doors
