Make your Memorial Day celebration sizzle with a home that screams summer! For this week’s Splurge vs. Steal, we zero in on two Bent Tree beauties. Each have fantastic swimming pools and room to entertain, but with price points that are miles apart. Want to host a Memorial Day to remember? Bent Tree is a fantastic neighborhood for celebrating with family and friends. Oh, and Bent Tree Country Club is just minutes away.

Splurge: Spyglass Stunner with Fabulous Pool For $699K

See what agent Larry Breedlove calls “Southern Living charm!” This five-bedroom, four-full-and-one-half-bathroom home has curb appeal for days. And the backyard was made for gracious summer entertaining. A sparkling swimming pool and backyard are perfect when hosting a Memorial day bash, complete with fenced patio and manicured hedges and privacy trees. In fact, the gorgeous brick home comes enveloped in mature trees and a lushly landscaped lawn. Among the highlights are a gourmet custom kitchen, exquisite main floor master, and versatile three-car-garage. There is no denying the convenience of ample parking from an elongated driveway when guests come over to celebrate. Even better, the third garage bay is currently being used as an artist studio. It is fully equipped with separate heat and air! Act now to see this Bent Tree beauty before it’s gone.

Steal: Updated Brick Traditional With Pool Oasis For $580K

For much less than our splurge you could call this four-bedroom, three-full-and-one-half-bathroom beauty yours in Bent Tree West! It offers a generous layout, towering ceilings, and plenty of designer details. Two spacious living areas and a bonus room upstairs are great for entertaining. However, it’s the outdoor oasis that catches our eye! Mature trees, an expansive patio, and a crystal blue pool and spa offer the perfect retreat on hot summer days. Fire up the grill, let the kids splash around, and serve poolside umbrella drinks. All you need to do when the sun sets is flick on the string lights for added ambiance. Back inside, a movie room, playroom, and space to add an extra bedroom and bath mean you can grow into this one. Plus, it’s located in Plano ISD, making it great for families!
