With temperatures soaring to 105 degrees in the metroplex and humidity levels surpassing 50%, people are looking for effective ways to stay cool.
Candy’sDirt showcases a chill summer getaway featuring a lake house near Corpus Christi. This home can be a seasonal or permanent residence.
The 3,508-square-foot house is located at 117 Sunset Drive in Mathis and was built on two plots, increasing the lake frontage to 0.66 acres. The living and dining spaces have a spacious design and primarily neutral color scheme, with vibrant accents that evoke a coastal atmosphere.
Relax on the fully screened-in, covered upper deck and enjoy a stunning water view without being bothered by mosquitoes.
Here is more of what Candy’sDirt reported on this property:
Many of us get down to Corpus Christi to be closer to the beach — as in Cinnamon Shores and Port Aransas, home to one of my favorite Italian restaurants. But there is another waterfront community nearby that is a real sleeper. Just head about 30 minutes northwest of Corpus Lake Corpus Christi, near Mathis. Head to the east side of the lake to the dream of Point Loma. You won’t even think about the beaches down south.
“This is a super easy water or lake access location for people who live in Corpus Christi,” says the listing agent, Cindi DuBois. “And it’s a beautiful lake. My client bought this house because it was only 30 minutes from their 200-acre cattle ranch in Mathis. Her husband loved fishing.”
The home at 117 Sunset Drive is a comfortable lakeside retreat with great attention to the most important detail of any lake home: comfort. There are expansive living and dining areas in neutral color palettes with bold accents that inspire a coastal vibe. Escape the skeeters and relax on a fully screened-in, covered upper deck that has breathtaking water views. Of course you will live here all summer long, but there is no reason why this home cannot be a year-round getaway.
It’s nothing fancy, but has all the comforts of a grand Park Cities or Frisco home. The primary bedroom has a large walk-in closet (the home was, after all, designed by a woman) with a private bath overlooking the stunning 180-degree lake vista, and double French doors that lead out to the concrete courtyard/ deck/water. The primary bath has a jetted tub, a huge separate shower, and dual vanities. There are five bedrooms and four bathrooms so the entire far-flung family can crash. They will enjoy the renovated private steel-pier boat house with an electric lift and a generous three-car garage for vehicles, golf carts, and bikes.
