You’ll Want to Come Home to These 3 Plano Houses After a Long Workday

Plano has plenty of superlatives like the safest city, the best place to live, and best place to buy a home in America, but the Collin County city has another interesting superlative — #2 hardest-working city in America according to Kempler Industries. Actually, six of the country’s 10 hardest-working cities are in North Texas, including Dallas #3, Grand Prairie #4, Garland #6, Irving #8, and Arlington #9. If you work hard, forget about playing hard… You want to rest and relax hard. Here are three beautiful Plano houses that make relaxing after a long workday easy to do.

A wall of windows in the sunroom overlook the professionally-landscaped yard and rock pool deck with fire pit, cedar pool cabana with outdoor kitchen featuring Viking appliances, and waterfall pool and spa.

This 2006-built home listed by Linda McConnell of The Michael Group is so well tucked away that you’d never know it’s located less than 5 minutes from Plano’s Legacy corridor near Preston and Hedgcoxe. The Deerfield North home is situated on a quarter-acre lot of a large cul-de-sac that’s adjacent to the greenbelt. That means there’s room for an impressive rock and palm tree poolscape, outdoor kitchen, AND a huge grassy yard for play. Inside, there’s new carpet, real hardwood floors, and a custom 560 gallon live aquarium in the front study.
