Could a water view be what’s standing in your way of better mental health?

July in Texas. The A/C is cranked but it rarely feels like enough. Cooling off and cooling down might come in the form of water when the thermometer hits 100-plus day after day.

Some call these designed and natural water features “blue spaces,” a term for water in the form of oceans, lakes, or rivers. Want to lower stress? Find a blue space to call your own. Studies have shown that just being around water can enhance mental health, lower blood pressure, lower heart rates and improve overall well-being.

Let’s go with the idea that finding a home with some blue space on or even near the property can bring a better life. Let’s toast that with an ice-cold beverage, and look at some listings. This week’s daltxrealestate.com open houses will spotlight those with water as a selling point.

1 Rue Du Lac Street, Dallas

The address says exactly what it is, en Francais — number one street of the lake. This home is one of only 10 houses in this addition that borders two lakes.

This house’s address says a lot about it … in French.

But, mesdames and messieurs, the neighborhood’s water views are not the only consideration for this house. It’s a designer’s own home, and that’s equally deserving of consideration. It’s sleek, and it’s chic. In its four bedrooms and four baths and design, inspiration abounds.

French Brown floors, a custom fireplace mantel, a spectacular chandelier, solid core doors, two dishwashers, double ovens, and Italian porcelain in the primary bath are on the list of elite touches.

And oh la la, there’s more — a four-zone sound system, an oversized garage, and Andersen windows. Outside, the new owners will enjoy a gated drive, perimeter security lighting, and lush landscaping.

A designer is selling this home and the chandelier, too.
Oversized windows fill the bedroom with light and a great view of the backyard.
The exterior landscaping transforms the backyard into a park setting.

Expecting long-term guests? Tres bien. This property includes a separate guest house with a living area, kitchen, and bedroom. With the main house square footage at 3,722 square feet and the guest house at 1,069 square feet, the property totals 4,791 square feet of living space. All of this is listed for $2.2 million.

This home, listed by Patricia Massey with Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate, will be held open from 1 to 3 p.m. July 16.

3047 Mitchell Way, The Colony

Choosing this house means choosing vacation living 365 days a year. The home is located in The Tribute, a resort-style community on Lake Lewisville. With canals and pools, water features are all around, but in addition to all the blue spaces, this neighborhood offers a golf course, pickleball courts, and jogging trails.

This home, located in The Tribute community, is surrounded by water features.

Priced at $785,000, the home was built for a casual lifestyle with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and multiple living areas. Throughout its 3,584 square feet, new homeowners can enjoy 12-foot ceilings and authentic hardwood flooring in this open floor plan.

The first floor is dominated by a living room with a fireplace and a pass-through counter area that opens to an expansive kitchen. That kitchen comes with a six-burner range, double ovens, and a large island, too.  The primary suite would make a great spot to relax after a day of enjoying The Tribute’s many amenities. This bedroom is large, the bathroom features double vanities, and the closet has space for work clothes, golf attire, swimsuits, and more. Upstairs includes both a game room and a media room, making this a house with lots of entertainment options.

This counter pass-through gives a view into the kitchen and behind it, a full view of the living room’s fireplace, too.
The living room offers a fireplace and a view of the backyard.
The primary bedroom includes a light-filled sitting area.

Other areas of the house have much to like, too. Besides a garage with a finished floor, there’s a heavily treed backyard with a great deck and a floored attic space for extra storage.

Listed by John Prell with Creekview Realty, this home will be held open from noon to 2:30 p.m. Saturday and 1 to 5 p.m. Sunday.

6606 Lange Circle, Dallas

Want to look at the lake while sipping coffee? Here’s the chance. This house offers a lake view from the breakfast nook, so both drinking morning coffee or eating a steak dinner come with a lake backdrop.

A lake view is part of the package with this house, built in 1957.

Built in 1957 in Briar Creek Estates, this brick house retains much of the character of a midcentury residence. Check out the den with its original hardwood floors, paneled walls, and wood beams to be transported to another era. Retro tile in the bathroom and a charming mural in the dining room add to the vintage charm seen throughout this two-bedroom, three-bath home.

Meanwhile. the kitchen features a Bosch dishwasher, double sinks, built-in oven and microwave, plus rows of cabinets for keeping up with entertaining lake visitors. The outside closet in the redwood carport has plenty of storage for those all-important life jackets, boat paddles, and sun visors.

This home features two bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a view of the lake.
The dining room showcases a 1950s-era mural.
Like the look of retro tile? Here it is.

With 2,531 square feet, this house situated on a cul-de-sac is priced at $870,000.

From 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday, this house, listed by Diane Ledford and Faye Lenox of Keller Williams Dallas Midtown, will be held open.
