If the pandemic taught us Dallasites anything, it’s the importance of having access to water in the summer. Pool memberships, trips to more temperate climates, and bids for backyard pools (especially East Dallas homes with a pool) were the name of the game as North Texas residents tried to escape the heat while not getting within breathing distance of anyone else.
While we were still in our full-on pandemic isolation, Dallas-area listings with pools were an extremely hot commodity. And with apps like Swimply, they can also be a revenue stream. However, this Eastwood Hills home has a fantastic pool and so much more.
East Dallas Home With a Pool
Obviously, when you’re buying a home in the climates as we have here in the South, having a pool is definitely a bonus. However, the No. 1 regret of home buyers who purchase a property with a pool is the cost and labor associated with maintenance.
According to HomeAdvisor.com, homeowners with pools spend approximately $125 a week to maintain their pool. That seems like a lot considering that an annual membership at a swim club could cost $300 or more. But if you’re anything like most Dallasites, this East Dallas home with a pool could easily become the hub of your social life.
With three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and 2,143 square feet, this East Dallas home with a pool could easily accommodate a family, a couple, or someone who likes plenty of room to spread out. As listing agent Jessica Hargis of Coldwell Banker Realty notes, this home has seen some spectacular upgrades from the refinished floors, fresh paint, and granite countertops in the kitchen. However, it’s the open floor plan and fantastic views of the pool that really make it for us.
Room For Activities
You can tell that, when this home was remodeled, the owners wanted to make use of the natural light from the copious windows and the associated views of the pool. That’s all great, but what will really float your boat is how the space flows from the living room to the kitchen and on to the rest of the home. This place was build not just to host the daily travails of life in East Dallas, but also for living like a pool party could break out at any second.
And considering this listing, it really could.
Jessica Hargis of Coldwell Banker Realty has listed 9016 Bretshire Drive for $575,000.
