Hot homes: 4 cool pools you’ll want to dive into
Obviously air conditioning is one of the first things on our minds when things start to heat up outside — but you know what’s much more fun? Taking a dip in a sweet pool.

Here are a few Seattle-area homes for sale that we can’t stop daydreaming about while we’re sitting in the sun.

You can’t see it, but this home also has its own pickleball court, trampoline, and a wine cellar.

Edwin Ivey legacy home with a florentine-inspired pool, 5 BD, 10 BA | $11,999,000 | Designed by the well-known Seattle architect Edwin Ivey, this mansion looks like it was airdropped in Capitol Hill straight from Tuscany. Who doesn’t want to pretend they’re taking a dip at an Italian villa?

Elegant estate with breezy pool house, 5 BD, 8 BA | $37,900,000 | This mansion’s pool is practically begging for someone with a giant floppy hat and dirty martini to come lounge beside it. Plus, you can host a little party in the pool house that has its own bedroom and kitchen.

If you get tired of the pool, the Puget Sound is literal steps away.

Sunny Bremerton getaway, 3 BD, 3 BA | $1,548,000 | The waterfront setup looks like it was built for a retro-themed pool party. Seals swimming in the Puget Sound might join you with a space so close to shore.

All the vegetation around the pool means you’ll be able to relax in privacy.

From the editor
OK, I know that in general that some hot summer days are just too hot. But I really don’t mind a few sprinkled in. The Puget Sound and both lakes are colddddd and I need some help from the sun warming back up. I want to enjoy swimming and boating, not fighting for my life.

Hope you all are enjoying the sun.
