With a summer at home looking likely on the cards for most parts of the country, we decided to get our property-envy on and be inspired by homes currently for sale around the country with refreshing dive-worthy swimming pools.
While we might be confined to our own cities and towns this year, we think a classic backyard pool is the perfect place to set up shop for the weekend and escape that blistering aussie heat, even for those who might not be near a beach.
Check out our top picks below:
