Secret Passageway - $10,000.00 [ Visit Store » ]
Motorized lifting staircase reveals secret passageway to a lower room.
Raise your hand if you used to watch The Munsters TV show and secretly envied the cool lifting staircase where Spot, the pet dragon, lived below. My hand is way up. The Munster mansion was positively riddled with secret rooms and hidden compartments. Grandpa's laboratory was accessed through a trapdoor in the floor. Once you were in the lab, if you pushed on a stone in the wall, part of the stone wall swung away to reveal a dungeon. When Herman had a call to make, he tugged on a bellpull, the wall slid open, and a coffin glided out and opened to reveal the phone. Pretty slick. And those were just some of the secret doors and hidden rooms. You'll have to watch the reruns and see how many others you can spot.
You may not have a laboratory, a dungeon or dragon, and you probably use a cell phone that you can just hide in a pocket, but that doesn't mean hidden rooms, passageways or compartments aren't a great idea. Check out how these homeowners created a little mystery and fun in their homes. Is there anything you'd like to hide?

You really can have that lifting staircase in your own home without the creepy Munster décor. This one conceals another staircase to a lower level. This is a lot more interesting than a coat closet. I just don't know how I would keep it a secret, because I would want to show it to everyone.
