This Caliza Court Knockout at La Cantera Shows What You Need to Survive a Texas Summer

In case you haven’t noticed lately, it’s Texas, it’s summer, and it’s getting hot outside. All the more reason why Tarrant County Tuesday is trying to focus and highlight properties that can be enjoyed inside as well as outside … even with the Texas summers.

Once again we turn to the gated and guarded neighborhood of La Cantera at Team Ranch to find this week’s featured home.

If you aren’t familiar with La Cantera at Team Ranch, it’s a community of rolling hills, beautiful views, quick access to highways, shops, restaurants, schools, and much more. Homesites are roughly an acre each, so there’s a little space between you and your neighbor.

High on a hill in the middle of a cul-de-sac sits a two-story painted brick with a concrete barrel-tile roof. Built in 2018, the home of four bedrooms, four-and-one-half baths, and 4,914 square feet is a whimsical paradise in the heart of Cowtown.

Nail-down, hand-scraped hardwood floors flow throughout the entire home — upstairs and downstairs — giving the home a rich and luxurious look and feel.

Large and open rooms with beautiful windows allow for fantastic views of the resort-inspired backyard. In the living room, the gliding glass doors open onto the deep, covered patio where you can enjoy the gurgling sounds of the fountains in the pool.

Outdoor Paradise

Yes, it’s hot and it’s going to be hot for a while in Texas. With that understanding, the best way to combat the heat and yet still enjoy the outdoors is to find an amazing house with a refreshing pool and spa and plenty of covered patios and cross-breeze.

Luckily, 5208 Caliza Court is just that home.

Not only can you access the covered patio from the living room, but you can get there from the primary suite as well. If you’d rather be a little further from the pool and splashing, simply walk a few steps over and relax under an additional porch. In the fall and winter months, the outdoor fireplace will provide the right amount of heat to continue to enjoy this outdoor paradise.

Can’t Forget The Kitchen …

Don’t worry, I am still going to touch on the beautiful gourmet kitchen with the massive marble island and myriad of GE Monogram appliances.

And the home also has a fantastic primary suite (I already mentioned the gliding doors from the room to the patio). There is also a full-sized private study off the bedroom and the bathroom and primary closet are show stoppers.

Of course, there are covered spaces for four vehicles, a bonus room with a full bar setup off the kitchen, and the perfect upstairs getaway/workout room/bonus living area. Not to be forgotten, under the main stairs is a solid steel door that can be a safe room, gun storage area, or tornado shelter.

Whatever the temperature is outside, whatever the season, 5208 Caliza Court is the perfect paradise to enjoy all year long.
