Sometimes, a house has a pool and backyard getaway so luxurious that it seems to be the main attraction. Such is the case with this almost $2 million French cottage-style house in Terrell Hills, which just hit the market.
The four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath home has a lot going for it. Constructed in 2007, it’s likely to have fewer problems than an older house, though some of its design choices harken to older trends, such as a high-backed, wall-mounted sink in one of the bathrooms styled after those found in early 20th century.
Clawfoot bathtubs also are reminiscent of early 20th century bathing culture. However, most finishes and fixtures throughout the home are not attempting to approximate the era or pretend to be anything other than new.
Outside, however, is the true crown jewel of the property — a resort-style pool at the center of a luxurious backyard. As understated as the interior of the house is, the pool most certainly is not. Pool parties — which are a given with a backyard like this — can also be enjoyed from the sprawling patio in the back of the house, with the added comforts of shade, ceilings fans and even a TV.
