We’ve put together a list of great pools that feel like vacation homes over on CandysDirt.com as a way to celebrate the last few days of summer. Enjoy!
Yes, today is the last day of summer, but that doesn’t mean the hot weather is any closer to giving way to autumn temperatures. It’s time to muse on the best thing to have during a blistering Texas summer: a backyard swimming pool.
With the help of Ebby’s own Cody Baker, I present my personal top five swimming pools on the market today:
Jenni Stolarski and Robb Puckett are a regular dream team. You can just feel the excitement and enthusiasm radiate off of them. The two Briggs Freeman Sotheby’s agents are passionate about Oak Cliff and the beautiful homes inside one of the most popular resurgent neighborhoods in Dallas.
Val Fenwick, the Virginia Cook agent marketing 10421 Shadow Bend Drive, says this contemporary home in Crest Meadow Estates is “better than new.” To tell you the truth, I often take the little narrative that accompanies most listings with a grain of salt. However, with this home, I couldn’t agree with Val more!
Not all bachelor pads are meant to be laundry-strewn hell holes with a permanent funky smell that can only be described as expired Chinese food and sweaty socks. Some bachelors — especially those who want to actually get dates — prefer to keep their homes tidy and spare, with just enough room for everything a bachelor needs and nothing they don’t.
