   From Miz Brooke Smith:

   Montrose. A single-family home or maybe a converted upstairs-downstairs duplex, with bathrooms updated in the ’80s. The big-plant curtains betray the ’80s, and the sun porch off the master bedroom is the Montrose giveaway.

   I’d say The Heights, but if forced to narrow that down, Woodland Heights. I’m seeing a 40’s-style bungalow, with squared (as opposed to arched) doorways, and a small yard close to the neighbors but with mature trees.

   From Brad:

   Wahtever that area is called bordered by West Gray/Shepherd.Westheimer and Commonwealth. Behind Hugo’s and around Mockingbird Bistro. Darn, now I am hungry.

   Design notes to homeowners:
   - Lighting fixtures are relatively inexpensive. Replace the darn chandeliers fer’ chrissakes.
   - Dude(s), I threw out a gifted Hawaiian shirt with the EXACT pattern of those roman shades. Change them.

   From CK:

   My first impression was something in the Heights too. A bungalow could certainly look like this inside renovated. OTH…. this could certainly be some sort of a duplex with a yard in many older areas of town.

   From David W:

   From the windows and sunroom off the master I would say it was built in the 30’s. From the black and white kitchen floor, glossy cabinets, and white Sub-Zero I would say remodeled (and not inexpensively) in the eighties. Could be Montrose but I am going to guess Riverside Terrace probably on the South side of the bayou since the updates aren’t more recent.

   From marmer:

   The corner windows are giving me a strong Moderne vibe, augmented by the kitchen tile and cabinets. I gotta agree about the 30’s and 40’s time period, but it could be anywhere. Southampton? Southgate? Cherryhurst? Castle Court? I’ll go with Castle Court.
