Enjoy Fun in The Sun at These Luxury Open Houses

Share News:

Everybody wants a pool, an outdoor kitchen, and a backyard oasis this hot summer, and these three open houses deliver. With these Dallas mansions, you get the fashionista’s closet, the entertainer’s kitchen, and the introvert’s primary retreat — but there’s so much more. 

Pick your favorite in this week’s roundup of CandysDirt.com Open Houses of the Week.

Oakdale Opulence

Get ready for a game-changer. 

The stunning home at 17628 Woods Edge Drive serves up decadence for slightly below $2 million. 

Safety comes first in this five-bedroom, seven-bathroom mansion spanning more than 6,000 square feet. It features a 24-hour guarded and gated entrance to the fabulous Oakdale community in North Dallas. A pool with a spa feature complements the fenced backyard.

The kitchen is fully loaded with stainless steel appliances, a center island with a gas cooktop, a seated bar, and a butler’s pantry. 

While there’s no need to gather ‘round the gas fireplace just yet, you’ll want to hang out in the large family room surrounded by built-in bookshelves and a view of the back terrace. 

The primary ensuite bath features dual vanities, an oversized shower, and walk-in closet with a center packing island. The second story has three bedrooms with ensuite baths, two game rooms, a library, and a study.

The area is zoned for Plano ISD and is close to restaurants and shops. 

Realtor Lance Hancock with Dave Perry Miller-Preston Center is hosting open houses from 2 to 5 p.m. Saturday, July 23, and Sunday, July 24. 

Sold To The Highest Bidder

The home at 12923 Epps Field Road is slated for auction and will be sold live on-site at 1 p.m. Sunday, July 18, the day after the open house. 

The $1.4 million list price is subject to change at auction. Interested buyers can place a bid prior to the auction date, online or by phone. 

The massive 5,000-square-foot home was built in 2008 near Farmers Branch.

It features five bedrooms, six baths, two bonus rooms, a theater, and a chef’s kitchen with a gas stove, double ovens, butler’s pantry, and bar area. 

The family can gather in one of two dining areas or living areas. The primary suite features a sitting area and fireplace. Updates include a Class 4 roof. The home also has a three-car garage and storm shelter. 

Entertain guests on the outside patio with an outdoor kitchen and half-bathroom. The patio looks out onto Rawhide Creek and Rose Garden.

Realtor Ryan Rickles with Assiter Auctioneers is hosting an open house from 2 to 4 p.m. Sunday, July 17. 

Make a Splash

Beat the heat in a four-bedroom, four-bath abode at 10802 Dove Brook Circle in North Dallas.  

This updated corner-lot home on a cul-de-sac features three living rooms, a three-car garage, and a special throwback front porch begging for a Sunday afternoon visit with glasses of sweet tea. 

Guests will love the covered back porch with a remote-control screen wall and swimming pool. An open great room with soaring ceilings and a wood-burning fireplace is a great spot for gathering after dinner. Kids can retreat upstairs to the updated media room while the adults gather in the modern open kitchen. Schuler cabinets, dual walk-in pantries, a gas cooktop, a coffee bar, and an eat-in space will draw a crowd to the area, which opens to the great room and has a door to the side yard. 

The primary suite includes a spa-like bath with separate vanities and a custom closet. 

The location offers easy access to Ursuline Academy, Hockaday School, and NorthPark Center — just in time for Dallas CASA’s Parade of Playhouses. The home has a ton of updates and is listed for $980,000. 

Realtor Neva Warnock with Homestart Stars is hosting an open house from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, July 17.
