I’ve seen the swankiendas off of Young St. too, not sure if they are hillbilly or not - think they are people who found acreage within 20 miles of downtown and threw up some pretty large homes because they could.

I vote Bunker Hill Village, too.

After recovering from the nausea induced from the first glance, I took another, more careful look at the entire set of pictures. Unfortunately, that just leaves me with more questions.
Why is there a fake fireplace in the converted attic? Is that yet another foosball table? Do people really have those in their houses? Who decorates with dead animal heads anymore? How 70s! And OMG, why is there a chandelier in the walk-in closet?!

The overall effect is very claustrophobic. For some reason Royden Oaks comes to mind, but the sidewalk directly in front of the house rules that out. I’m going to say Fountainview or Bering Drive.

my very first thought was memorial, like off Chimney Rock or further out - it seems like it overlooks the bayou - I totally agree with that comment, but it would probably show the back yard if it did. Gus - do you show all photos????? hmmmm - i’m so serious about this freaking game. it’s a total redo - the kitchen and bathrooms. I’m going with 70’s, 80’s with new redo in the last 5 years. garage has been converted into game room. gus - will you ever show an house that hired an interior designer that’s decent?????? haha!!
Memorial - could be a townhouse on the bayou somewhere.

Is that an “I shot J.R.” tee shirt in the closet?

I’ve been in some pads like this in the Memorial Villages back in the 80’s…so since Hunter’s Creek and Bunker Hill are taken I’m going with Hedwig Village…

I think karen has a very convincing bluff here, but I’m going to call it. This is too big for a 40s gut and rebuild. Also the last finished attic pic wouldn’t exist if that much space was made for “second floor” bedrooms.

I can’t do better than Pasadena, though. I’ve seen some gigantic hillbilly swankiendas over there off Fairmont Parkway. (off Young Street, for example.) Maybe it belongs to a beveled glass dealer.

OMG! Please tell me that my eyes are deceiving me. Is that a leopard rug with head attached draped over the treadmill?? No no no. That is wrong on so many levels. I’ve been known to hang a few bras from my treadmill but never a dead animal. Im going with bunkerhill area i’ve seen some strange buisness in a few houses in that area and this looks about par.
