In this week's Under Contract, we feature two very cool homes that found buyers in under a week.

A Week For An Alexandria Home With A Florida Keys Backyard
The backyard is the headline at this four-bedroom home in Alexandria, and a buyer took notice as the home went under contract with contingencies after a week. The saltwater pool anchors a resort-style yard with professionally landscaped grounds and multiple spaces for dining and entertaining, while inside, custom hand-carved artisan doors open to sun-filled living areas that flow out to the retreat. Next to the pool, a restored 1800s cupola has been reimagined as a one-of-a-kind bar.

Four Days For A California Arts and Crafts Estate Built For The Tree Canopy
Conceived by Barnes Vanze Architects and built by Zantzinger, this seven-bedroom Phillips Park estate found a buyer in just four days. The California Arts and Crafts-inspired home featuring cedar shingles and heavy-timber framing has one of the cooler outdoor spaces UrbanTurf has seen: a main deck cantilevered nearly two stories above grade into the tree canopy. Other cool components of the home include a three-story foyer, a primary suite spanning the width of the home and an indoor SwimEx resistance pool, the kind used to train Olympians.
