10 Houses With Intriguing Secret Rooms & Passageways

I don’t know about you, but I love houses that have secret rooms and passageways.

In the mystery movies, it seems there is always a secret room in the library of the house. Since I don’t have a library, I would probably put my secret room in the floor somewhere, and then cover it with a rug or a piece of furniture. The staircase going down would lead to something great…
