Three Hot Dave Perry-Miller Listings to Cool Off With

When we got a media advisory from ERCOT on Friday afternoon asking Texans to conserve energy during this first nearly 100-degree weekend, our first thought was, “Ughh, not again.” But with a little focused daydreaming and some positive thinking, our second thought was, “Ahhh.” Hot temps mean cool plunges into a sparkling swimming pool. Luckily, the folks at Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate have gathered three great listings for homes with Ahh-inducing pools.

The Residences at the Stoneleigh

Let’s start at the top — more specifically, atop nine stories of the luxurious Stoneleigh Residences in this 2,350-square-foot, two-bedroom condo listed by high-rise expert agent Sharon Quist of Dave Perry-Miller Park Cities. We can think of no better place to cool off on a hot day than the Stoneleigh Residences’ Oasis Outdoor Garden Terrace and Pool.

The resort-style pool features tanning ledges, center swimming, and an adjacent hot tub. The pool is flanked by cabana-style outdoor living areas that feature fireplaces and grills and adjoins a grand lawn and pet park.

Here you can enjoy hotel amenities such as 24-hour concierge, valet parking, room service, and a state-of-the-art fitness center with country club-style locker rooms that include steam and dry saunas. Then, there are the extra special amenities that make the Stoneleigh Residences the Stoneleigh Residences. Features like the rooftop Constellation Club with dining and beverage service provided by the Stoneleigh Hotel, the 20-seat media room, well-appointed conference rooms, and their famous banquet room with a full catering kitchen and bar, which residents can reserve any time to host large events for no fee.

The corner unit at 9D features gorgeous scraped hickory floors, natural stone countertops, walnut cabinets, and stainless appliances including a built-in refrigerator and a five-burner gas cooktop. The spa-like primary bath features double vanities, a deep soaking tub, an oversized shower, and dual closets. Plus, Unit 9D has a private elevator that opens directly onto the home’s foyer.

Sharon Quist of Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate has listed 2300 Wolf Street 9D for $1.949 million.

4421 Fairfax Ave. in Highland Park

If Highland Park is more your scene, Dave Perry-Miller’s Stephen Collins has this classic 1920s Georgian that just exudes character. This beauty was built in 1929, when home developers were fond of flacking Highland Park in newspaper ads as “five degrees cooler than Dallas.” That’d come in handy this summer.

Imagine breakfast on the veranda, container gardening poolside, and an afternoon dip in the sparkling pool and spa. This four-bedroom home has 4,854-square-foot plus 841-square foot guest quarters. So, that’s 841 square feet of pool house, home office with a pool view, yoga studio in a peaceful backyard, or a veritable “she shed.”

It’s just a couple of blocks from the Highland Park Village, Bradfield Elementary, and the Dallas Country Club.

6613 Forest Creek Drive

The sophistication of this six-bedroom, 7,701-square-foot is off the charts. This beauty really deserves its own feature, but we’re going to focus on the exquisite backyard. That’s the place to be — like your own personal resort in the city.

In your resort, take a dip in the swimming pool with a bubbling water feature and adjacent spa. The pool’s large enough to get some real reps of laps in, but doesn’t overpower the backyard.

Getting hungry? There’s a cabana with a full kitchen with a dishwasher, warming drawer, oven, refrigerator, and an icemaker. Want to watch the game? Your backyard resort has a beer tap, fireplace, and big-screen TV. There’s lots to do in this Dave Perry-Miller listing by Ginger Levine.
