All three of those houses on the original post look kinda give me the creeps, they look like sets for poltergeist films or where Whitley Strieber hung out when he was 'abducted'

Austin house does a good job of balancing Craftsman cottage style with modern. I'd still probably strip all the wood and go lighter, though. (WTF at that place going for almost a half-mil in Austin? Real estate prices jumped since the last time I knew anyone shopping down there, I guess.)Chicago condo is nice, but the kitchen is out of place.Florida house is Florida-y.

Vermont is sooooo huge for $1.6 mil. Venice looks like it should be half that. San Antonio looks about right for the price, but I don't like it.

I'm surprised the San Antonio house is as old as it is too.

I think the Houston house itself is the best of the three. I don't really like the style of the stuff in it, but sweet solarium. The first one does creep me out a little. I hate vaulted ceiling bedrooms, and it looks more like a lodge than a home.

And the third one is just boring and ugly and I can't even believe it's over 1 million.
That first one has a nice exterior and great location and then goddamn the ugliest fucking interior ever. Those floors look terrible. Sure, wide planks if you want to look vintage but they weren't making floors out of 1x12s.
Houston is a malarial swamp and that interior looks like a modernist McMansion in California. The solarium is a nice idea, except that you could only use it for 3 months/year in Houston.
Fake Spanish colonial is NAGL
