3 homes with pools that don’t require a heatwave
This mid-century home let’s you have it both ways: an indoor pool under a retractable roof.
In May, you can be warm in the sun but freeze in the shade. If you have an unheated swimming pool out back, you're still waiting for it to be hot enough to take your first dip. Unless you also have a climate controlled pool indoors, too. These three million-dollar-plus estates offer the best of both worlds and swimming year-round.
