 Some people's idea of a dream house approaches others' idea of a nightmare.
That couldn't be more true than in north Waxahachie, where Charles and Sandra McKee are spending an estimated $250,000 to construct a nearly identical replica of the Victorian mansion once belonging to the 1960s sitcom family the Munsters.
The 2-story, 5,825-square-foot house, which has been designed from set photos and television clips, will include almost all the major features of the original. Secret passages will wind their way through the second story, Grandpa's dungeon will open through a trap door in the floor and a hydraulic staircase will lift open to reveal the pet's quarters. In this case, of course, the quarters will be for a dog instead of a fire-breathing dragon, but he'll still bear the name Spot.
One thing the house won't have, however, is a coffin-shaped phone booth. As Sandra put it, "That's just too creepy for me." |
