Share News:
If you’re spending this Labor Day weekend doing a little home shopping, why not make it aspirational for next year’s celebration? If you can’t be soaking up those end-of-summer rays poolside, cooking out on the grill, and generally enjoying a day off with friends and family, make sure you choose a home with the best possible setting for said day when it comes.
Well, here at CandysDirt.com we have found three spectacular options for you: a swinging midcentury in North Dallas, an enchanted retreat in Forest Hills in East Dallas, and a hip contemporary worthy of Palm Springs in West Fort Worth.
North Dallas Style: 3385 Northaven Road
This beautifully updated 1961 North Dallas home is absolutely stunning inside and out, but it’s the backyard in particular that has our attention today.
The home’s ideal location on a corner lot, plus the beautiful board-on-board fencing contribute to the ultimate privacy of this chic outdoor retreat. A stylish wood covering extends over a living area, adjacent to an elegant wood pergola which shades the outdoor kitchen. Outdoor entertaining is a breeze — literally — with plenty of room for guests to relax in style.
The pool itself has all the bells and whistles, with new radiant blue pebble tech surfacing, a waterfall feature, heated spa — all controlled by a smartphone app.

Forest Hills Retreat: 8020 Forest Trail
In case anyone was wondering what constitutes #houseporn for this here writer — while I do have a bit of a thing for red brick Colonials — this Forest Hills contemporary is totally my bag, baby. (We are allowed to have eclectic tastes, y’all). This chic home is the opposite of a mullet: it parties in the front, it parties in the back, heck, it parties on the inside. This beautiful shot above is of the front yard firepit and seating area.
Inside, the lot, surrounded by mature trees creates a gorgeous backdrop through massive windows and glass doors everywhere you look. The home is set up for ease of entertaining, with a flowing floorplan from living to dining to kitchen.
The massive backyard is ready for a small or large gathering — you could erect a tent in that yard! The pool has a hot tub and plenty of space for lounging, and the covered patio is set for year-round enjoyment with phantom screens.

Fort Worth Fab: 1801 Merrick Street
If your Labor Day weekend gathering needs a dose of straight up cool, with a splashy side of color, this Fort Worth pad is just the ticket. Located on Fort Worth’s West side, between the cool midcentury architecture and funky modern design, you might think you’d stepped into Palm Springs.
And who says you need a pool for the perfect outdoor party? This huge wrap-around deck in the treetops provides an incredible locale for an epic event.
The massive, multi-level deck and yard includes an outdoor kitchen, adorned by a custom, commissioned mural.
