i’m going to take an off-the-wall guess. i’ve never seen kingwood mentioned and it’s leafy and green. kinda like a bad 80’s version of the woodlands.

my vote would be kingwood, probably around the country club.

Seems like Buffalo Bayou area. How about off Briar Drive next to Tanglewood? Maybe a circa 1985 townhouse community. I believe there are 2-3 of them off Briar.

Hate to bring up the wheelchair thing again, but what are those railings doing in the bath? And the spaces left for extra chairs in the other rooms are telling me that disability has led the homeowner to selling a beloved home. And look at the bookshelves - I’m envious. Almost enough to hold my library.
I wasn’t going to guess, because all my guesses are taken, but hey, with cupcakes at stake, what do I have to lose? We’ve got a huge lot, topography, that white picket fence (SOOOO the old Memorial Villages), the deciduous as well as coniferous trees…crossing my fingers and saying along Buffalo Bayou below or just west of the Villages: Rivercrest N. of Briar Forest, Sandalwood, Briargrove Park…to Lakeside CC area. Let me know when to start baking my consolation brownies.

I’m going to say it’s somewhere along Buffalo Bayou. Maybe in one of the Memorial Villages. Built in the 70’s or early 80’s. I’m guessing near Memorial & Piney Point. Near Memorial Drive Prez Church.

Crave is the best!

Darn it, the Woodlands is taken, Conroe is taken, even Panorama Village is taken. The woods definitely point to something north or west in Memorial. Woodlands seems too easy, I don’t think Gus would be that obvious.

I am going to say somewhere in Spring Branch, maybe Hilshire Village. My second guess might be one of those older neighborhoods up in Cypress off of Eldridge.

The size, style and smell of money make me think The Woodlands but not those cheap McMansion knock-offs. No, you have to drive 30 minutes from I-45 to get to this neighborhood. You are in the “back of the Woodlands”. Sure you may venture out on a weekend and peruse the shops in Market Square but you almost exclusively dine at Amerigos when you want to get out or more usually, next door at the Carlton Woods club house. This house is probably a well placed 9-iron from the fairway of the 8th hole of the Carlton Woods Country Club, you have even seen a drunken oil executive peeing on one of the trees in your yard. Other than that, the riff-raff are kept at bay by the guards in this gated community within The Woodlands allowing you and the Mrs. to stroll the streets without fear of minorities, solicitors or Unitarians.

Yeah, Jessica…. I think that you got a close look at the Tombal area:) The lush green and the beautiful view could be very much related to the nearby Spring Creek.

I’ll go way out on a limb here…..No idea of the neighborhood name, but this reminds me of a cousin’s home down Baytownish that neighbors a bayou/nature preserve. Their master bathroom is very similar, with a more sunken tub.

Uhoh, don’t let the snarkiness level drop!

The weather has sapped my strength to snark. Amazingly well kept, late-70s/early-80s home, it’s just stuck in a time warp. Maybe they were trying to get away from it all when they had it built. So, my Land-That-Time-Forgot guess for location is in the Hirsch-Little York-Homestead-Tidwell box (don’t know if the area actually has a name), near Tidwell Park.
