I think they're serious. If so, it's supremely cool. But even if not it is, as Gaiman said, delightful to the inner 12-year-old. At least, to mine.

Totally cool.
Not, admittedly, 10,000 Davedollars worth of cool.
But cool.

Speaking of home mods delightful to one's inner 12-year-old...

...and since it's only a yard wide, it could be combined with ideas from the link you mentioned.

Thank you, that might solve the stairs problem at my mom's new place if they can afford it.

Oh My God

I would totally love this... I worked in a couple of places that had secret passageways and it was always fun.

they are serious: I've seen them profiled on TV (thus it HAS to be real) but more to the point: I saw some of the houses they have done.
Including one on "this old house"
which was VERY cool - the house HAD a "secret room" and the couple hired this company to update the tech :)

In my home town - there is a private school (noble & greenoughs) that has a castle as part of the grounds - the cafateria and teachers housing are in the castle - and there are MANY secret passages in it (I've stepped through secret doors before there)

if I had the money to burn... ;)

OH, gotta keep this link for "the future".

See, David and I are going to buy land in Colorado that includes a big hill...then we are going to have an architect design us a home that looks like Edoras. And the garage is going to be way away from the house and also be a horse stable...that way, when David comes home from work every day he'll park there and hop on his trusty steed and come riding home on horseback...and I can be there waiting for him on the porch in my Eowyn gown being blown about by the wind and flags waving, etc.

...

And we'll have secret passages, too.
