Caroline Simmel

The amenities at Larkspur were purposefully designed to create a relaxed, outdoor lifestyle for those 55 and better.

Caroline Simmel

It started one summer on an island off of Seattle with some kids who were bored with the usual summertime activities.

A Naturally Inspired Way of Life

Jenny NeSmith

“We can never have enough of nature,” said Henry David Thoreau and we have to agree. We designed Larkspur to seamlessly blend with natural spaces, incorporating what was already there and making it accessible.   Our nature trails wind with the path of the creek. The ponds, already on the property, were worked into the...

What’s in a name? Larkspur

Edward Andrews Homes
