The most Texas thing ever? Former church turned home for sale has cowboy pool. See it
A unique residence has landed on the real estate market in Austin, Texas, and it’s for a decent amount considering the originality of the home.
Listed for $845,000, this three-bathroom, three-bedroom home — that has a curiously modern, sleek look inside — was once a church.
“Now is your chance to own a home that was converted from an original church in the 1940s,” a news release on the property said.
“Original architectural features pay homage to its past through the steeple and preserved vaulted wood beam ceilings, while high-end finishes offer a modern touch.”
Features in and around the home, according to the listing, include:
Curated kitchen
Oak floors
Private yard
One feature that stands out is probably the most “Lone Star” thing about the home — a cowboy pool in the backyard. According to CowboyPools.com, the pool is geared toward families and varies in size.
“They look cool, they’re affordable, they’re SO MUCH easier to maintain than a real pool, they’re sturdy, and they are the perfect size for: Easily stepping in and out of the pool, sitting on the ledge and putting your feet in, sitting in the pool all day and keeping cool, children who may not be great swimmers,” the website says.
The listing is held by Lander Peerman and Katelyn Peterson of Douglas Elliman.
