Neighborhood Guessing Game: All Sewn Up

Neighborhood Guessing Game 15: Sewing Room

You guys are good! And better at this than you think you are. You found all the right clues to this week’s puzzle . . . the problem was just putting them together!

Before we get to our winners, your list of guesses: Oak Forest attracted 4 votes. There were 3 guesses each for Montrose and West University, and 2 each for Bellaire and Lazybrook. We had 4 separate votes for Knollwood, Timberside, Woodshire, and Stella Link. The rest went to Meyerland, Timbergrove, Clear Lake, Kemah, “something out I 45 towards the Gulf,” the Houston Ave./Sawyer/Washington area, Afton Village, Cleveland, the Heights, “that area south of Richmond, east of Shepherd but immediately north of the recessed portion of 59 over by Mt. Vernon,” Alief, and Braes Terrace.

This week’s win goes to two players: CK, who called Clear Lake:

. . . it’s hard to tell if it’s a street outside or lakefront.

Aha!

And Joni Webb, who called Kemah:

It’s old – say 50 years, low ceilings, actually cute for once . . . mature landscaping . . . lots and lots of palm tree type plants and it could be around Kemah – those really cute old houses there. Artsy community.

For this game, Clear Lake and Kemah were close enough. Seabrook would have won it outright, and Ruggles East would have beaten that!

So . . . what were the clues? marmer picked up a few:

The craft room and living room are on the front of the house, and narrow, probably original rooms. Most everything else is an addition. What’s with the weird bedroom with French doors and no window treatment? Do exhibitionists live here?

And so did toadfroggy:

My only thought is that those blue cabinets would never have survived in an area that’s seen much flipping, so it’s unlikely to be in any of the close-in nabes if it’s even in Houston at all.

. . . which earn them both honorable mentions. No interfering liars this week!

After the jump: Around and about that house!

  • I won? no way! Look – I’ll accept the win for the week I WOULD have won for the Kickerillo house – had I not forgotten to play that one week!!! But I can’t accept this win – I truly didn’t think of the bay until I read the other guy say that – and then it reminded me of those cute old houses around Kemah for some reason. But if the other winner hadn’t mentioned the bay, I doubt my mind would have gone there. So, I really can’t accept this win!!! I feel like a cheater!!! BUT I do accept the win for the Kickerillo home – man – I would have SO won that one outright! Boy – this is one fine piece of property though. I could be very happy there!!!

  • Hah! I’m obviously gettin good at this. I rented a lake house on Clear Lake several years ago when I had my son taking some insurance industry class. In getting to know the area around there, it really seemed like the type of older homes that are still around the general vacinity there.
