This early Nixon-era single-story at 418 Thamer Circle, which hit the market a few days before Christmas, offers plenty of domestic secrecy: no windows onto its Hunterwood surroundings, a walled-in central courtyard with a pool, a long and curving front driveway, and a three-quarter-acre lot on a cul-de-sac. And you’ll find plenty of era design in this home just north of the fairways of Houston Country Club, too: skylights, crimson laminated countertops, an old-school intercom system, and a showroom’s worth of sliding glass doors. Plus some old wallpaper styles that you didn’t think you’d have to kick around anymore:

The home features 3 bedrooms, 3 1/2 baths, a 3-car carport, and a $1,125,000 asking price.

Gus, again with the dead animal laced homes. Got something you need to talk about? lol.
Inquiring minds want to know what’s behind the master bath closet door with the simplex lock. Who has those in their house?
I have friends in Miami who point out houses like this there and say “drug dealer” (no windows, high walls, etc.) I was going to invoke that assessment here, but thought “nah …” Then I spotted that simplex lock too and said “heyyy….” Maybe its just a great big walk-in safe. Or panic room.
Not a very secure room, whatever it is, since there are only 48 possible combinations to a 5 button simplex lock.
KC: A 5 button simplex lock should have just over 1000 possible combinations.
Cody: An electronic one, yes, but an old-fashioned mechanical one like this, no.
KC: I think you’re wrong :)

I have these on my gates at the new building I purchased.
Will probably end up being a tear-down within weeks after purchase, which is a shame.
Sure, it’s dated. Sure, it lacks windows. But it has character, one must admit.
From RW:
Not all characters are welcome.
LOL@ ‘Not all characters are welcome.’
True, true…
I bet the combo is the same as the apartment industry…2,5,1.
