This house is listed as “an extreme custom-built home” and it totally is. They went hard on the nautical theme and it takes you a minute to realize all the things that were added to create that #boatlife. I mean it’s on Lake Whitney so you’re more than halfway there, but still…
The deck surrounding the pool? Made to look like a boat, up to and including the lettering on the side — Miss Whitney.
This four-bedroom, four-bath house is located in killer setting with gorgeous trees and feels almost like you’re at California resort. I guess those well-positioned palm trees really are doing their thing.
Inside it’s a tri-level and way up top you have a plank-like catwalk that connects to what is currently being used as a yoga studio.
The modern wire running along the catwalk and stairs feels super boat-like too, right? Even though it’s not something you saw at the Catalina Wine Mixer, it’s something you know might have been there.
Overall, it’s a really fun house to explore. Flipping through the pictures, there’s a discovery at every click. “OH LOOK AT THAT. IS THAT A BIRD HOUSE?! INSIDE???!” And check out the canvas used for the window coverings.
You know what else? This is a total retreat house. Like you retired early and now you’re living that life. Maybe you have a sign out back that says “Grandparents at Play.” Maybe not. But living here would be a total dream. You’d have the house that everyone talks about in a great way.
But before we peace on out of this write up, let’s talk about Lake Whitney. Better yet, let’s let Riverplace Realty’s Richard Chrisner tell us all about it. Nah, JK, we’re going to have Wikipedia tell us. Lake Whitney is about one and one-half hours from Dallas. “It’s a flood control reservoir on the main stem of the Brazos River…” This is the part where you touch your hand to your chin and nod as if to say, “Oh, interesting. I mean, I totally knew that but it’s interesting the way you said it.”
If you’re interested in taking a look at 113 County Road 1541 in Morgan. Give Chrisner a call. He has it listed at $789,000.
