This Biltmore-area home is the busy but stylish hub for an active Arizona family. The site of frequent get-togethers–from grandkid sleepovers to sizeable soirees–the vibe is friendly, comfortable, relaxed and chic. Antiques culled from the owners’ world travels blend seamlessly with modern touches, making this Santa Barbara-style abode an unforgettable destination.
