How do I do this? (Converting class property to class list)

I know why this doesn't work

tell application "Finder"

bounds of every window

name of every window

every window whose bounds is {658, 277, 1539, 777}

end tell

Result

tell application "Finder"
get bounds of every window
{{658, 277, 1539, 777}, {488, 123, 1369, 623}}
get name of every window
{"Macintosh HD", "Applications"}
get every window whose bounds = {658, 277, 1539, 777}
"Finder got an error: Can’t make {658, 277, 1539, 777} into type Unicode text."

AppleScript can't convert class property in to a list. Or it doesn't know how to. But the only way I can see round this is to cycle through the windows, get the bounds and convert it to a list using some "applescript item delimiters" and a bit of "every item of". Is there a simpler way that I can't see?

Thanks

Steve
