What's up with the pool cues without a pool table? Obviously 70s construction, built-ins and bathroom cabinets are the giveaway. Brick floors and no carpet down, so most likely is near water, maybe backs to a bayou? I'd say Memorial but it can't be or they would have done a Subzero fridge instead of that generic thing. Must be outside the Beltway and south of the bayou, Lakeside Forest or Lakeside Place. I wonder what this place looked like before the staging? What’s up with the pool cues without a pool table?

There are some nice, large units backed up to Buffalo Bayou. The open plan! the vertical windows! the vertical siding! Problem for me is the wonderful pool in the side yard – can’t say if any of these owners could have space for that. I believe this is newer construction, 1980s-1990s (reason: exterior door sets,) built to 1970s specs (reason: brick ext. columns, chamfered/vaulted ceilings.) So it’s a weird hybrid and difficult to finger; wouldn’t expect anything less from this game! I’m starting to get the hang of this: The NGG quarry is generally the exception to the RE rule…

Is this a forest for the trees kind of thing? I am going to say Bellaire because it has a lot of funky ceiling angles and crazy windows that suggest add on, redoings, customizing out the wazooo.

Limited lot size for a pool and the siding looks like metal. Metal homes are frequent in that area. However agreeing with Brad will not allow me to claim the prize so.... I think CK is close, it is a patio home near Memorial Dr. but further west. Somewhere between Kirkwood and Eldridge Parkway.
