Robin and Mike are sure they have the best view on their block. From the large front patio and sitting area where they soak up the vibrant atmosphere of their Arcadia Lite neighborhood, to the interior layout, high-end finishes, and thoughtful details of their new TJH home.

Right-sizing for a new chapter

After living all over the world, from Singapore to Paris to California, they settled in Arizona to finish raising their three kids. Recent empty nesters, Robin and Mike, were ready for a fresh start and a home fit for this new chapter. 

They envisioned a place surrounded by great restaurants, trendy coffee shops, art galleries, and plenty of outdoor activities. That’s when their agent, Bill, showed them a new TJH home in the charming neighborhood of Arcadia Lite.

The moment they stepped inside, Robin and Mike felt an instant connection. They were captivated by the home’s sleek, contemporary design, airy atmosphere, and meticulous attention to detail that could be seen in every corner. Although they looked at other properties, nothing compared to the craftsmanship and quality of what would become their new home.

“As soon as we walked into this house, it checked all of our boxes. We couldn’t get it out of our heads.”

One of the home’s standout features is its single-story, open floor plan. The cleverly zoned kitchen, living room, breakfast nook, and dining room flow together seamlessly, while high ceilings add to the home’s airy and inviting ambiance. Robin and Mike were also drawn to the neutral, high-end finishes throughout the home, which allow their extensive art collection to shine. Every piece they carefully collected from their travels feels right at home, turning each space into a reflection of their family adventures.

For Robin and Mike, Arcadia Lite and the surrounding area is the definition of paradise in Arizona. Not only do they have access to some of the best bakeries and restaurants within walking distance, but they’re also a stone’s throw away from art galleries, museums, and top-rated resorts. Beyond all the amenities, the sense of community really drew them in. 

“[We chose this area] because of what’s nearby- the bakery, the little shops, bars, and restaurants—we can walk down a block, and we’re there. We’re within ten minutes of downtown with museums and art galleries. We also have all the sporting venues and concerts down here. And we’re surrounded by all these fabulous golf courses and resorts within a few blocks from us.”

Now settled in their new home, you’ll often find the couple sitting on their front patio, chatting with their neighbors, people watching, and enjoying the vibrant desert sunset. Their journey led them to the home of their dreams and what has become the backdrop to the next exciting chapter in their lives.
