Pssst … it’s getting hotter in Texas. I didn’t know if you were paying attention or not, but now you know. It seems like everything in Texas is hotter these days, and it’s not just the real estate market either.
As we begrudgingly welcome the trifecta of summer months in Texas, it’s time for Tarrant County Tuesday to focus on homes that will provide relief from the sweltering, bug-infested, sun-scorching outdoors, and yet still allow for plenty of outdoor living and enjoyment.

One Cool Canopy
We’ve featured the uber-posh enclave within Fort Worth, Westover Hills, plenty in the past. One thing that you will notice about this exclusive neighborhood is the amazing shade trees. Of course, there are some pretty amazing homes to experience as well.

Inside Enjoyment
One such home is located on Hidden Creek Road. Engulfed by lush shade trees, this five-bedroom, six-and-one-half-bathroom of nearly 7,000 square feet is a timeless example of placing a home in the perfect spot to take advantage of the surrounding landscape.
Inside the home is filled with floor-to-ceiling windows, beamed ceilings, fashionable finishes, and so much more. Enjoy working for home in the private study or a quite morning coffee in the personal room off the primary bedroom.

Every room in this home allows for beautiful outdoor views of the nature that surrounds the property. How would you like to wake up to vibrant views from the primary suite?
If you need a little alone time, send everyone outside while you enjoy the outdoor views from the large window over the deep soaking tub.


Fun Without Too Much Sun
Don’t worry about the sun from under the expansive covered patio that overlooks the pool. If the patio is too tepid, fling open the doors to the adjoining cabana for the ultimate indoor/outdoor experience.


Host family meals or friendly gatherings in the shade.
Let’s face it, we live in Texas and it’s hot almost all of the time. Why not embrace where we live and take advantage of the beauty that surrounds us. Conquer the heat and enjoy homes like this Westover Hills hidden gem with the perfect combination of the indoors as well as the outdoors.
