These Beautiful Homes Have Perfect Places to Soap Up And Prevent Disease

Now here’s something we can all come together to support. This Sunday, be ready to celebrate Global Handwashing Day! Woo hoo! Who doesn’t like nice, clean hands?

So, zero panic, people. Luckily this day doesn’t require any special preparations — no gifts to buy, no tree to decorate, no turkey to cook. Chances are the supplies you need — soap, warm water, and a towel — are already on hand. It’s a day to kill germs, prevent disease, and save lives by keeping hands clean.

As anyone who has ever had to find a restroom while on a road trip attests, not all places to wash one’s hands are created equal. Having a fabulous place to wash hands will only enhance the experience in wonderful ways. In recognition of this, CandysDirt.com will spotlight open houses this week where the handwashing experience can be elevated.

Meanwhile, happy Global Handwashing Day to one and all. Enjoy your time at the sink.

10360 Fincher Road, Argyle

This country estate offers some of the most charming spots for handwashing. Built in 2020, this 4,140-square-foot storybook home sits on an acre surrounded by nature. And when it comes to money, know that it’s listed for one dollar shy of $1.7 million and comes with no city taxes.

Four bathrooms for handwashing, but you also could scrub your hands in the master suite’s custom-tiled, walk-in shower or large soaking tub. The custom home features four bedrooms, 12-foot ceilings, white oak flooring, beamed ceilings, French doors, and an antique Italian fireplace.

The outdoors are not to be overlooked since this home does look like something out of a storybook. It offers a gated entry, an oversized, two-car garage, plus a very cute extra, detached garage … and a picket fence!

This house, listed by Jolette Ryon with Compass Real Estate, will be held open from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday.
