My first thought was Memorial by the bayou - around voss - could be Tanglewood though or Meyerland. But since no one has said Tanglewood - I’ll say it, by Voss - Indian Creek or somewhere like that. could be a great house when redone by MOI!

Definitely Memorial Villages. You can tell by the heavily wooded lot and the size of the home for the year it was built (1970s). This was someone’s swank, possibly key-party-ish pad back in the booming 70s when all the richies were building their huge new homes in the Villages. I say Piney Point. It’s too modern for Bunker Hill, and has too many trees for Hilshire Village or Spring Valley, but this looks exactly like something you’d run across in Piney Point.

I’m thinking Tanglewood.

Years ago I helped shop for a place for my folks to retire to and saw some beautiful places in Tanglewood that this reminds me of. They retired in a gorgeous waterfront community in FL instead but Mom STILL talks about the perfect townhome in Tanglewood.

This HAS to be Memorial Villages. But which one? I’m going to call this close to Hunters Creek, and based on the large amount of foliage seen, it has to be fronting Buffalo Bayou. This high density of greenery has to put it within a stones throw of the bayou for sure.

Good catch, I missed the eames lounge and ottoman, now I see the aeron too. Definitely expensive furnishings…

I am thinking Memorial as well. I would venture to say it is in one of the Villages. From the pictures it looks like a larger lot. Possibly on a private drive. Maybe even a street off of Taylorcrest.

This is a large, custom-designed expensive home - with expensive interiros too - in a very wooded area. My guess is River Oaks.

Burnt Orange, Dusty Rose, some Aqua, and a hint of Peach in the dressing room - priceless. Laminate everywhere. The last update in this place was the installation of the two ceiling fans in the living room. I’ll go for Memorial between Chimney Rock and Blalock.

Wow.

I”m going against the grain here when I say Memorial area but *inside* the loop. Wescott area between Memorial and Washington.
I do agree that it’s a pretty cool house.

Was too busy to post yesterday, so my guess of south off Memorial inside the BW8 have been taken. I agree this space would be a blast to redo, so I am obviously showing my age. The dusty rose and pink paint would have to go, but they can leave the (probably real) Eames chair and ottoman, thanks.

I’m thinking close-in Memorial area, just outside the loop. Maybe because the front entrance (but not the rest of the house) looks exactly like a house on Pinehaven that belonged to a friend’s grandfather. Love that lush vegetation.
