House is nice, but I have seen better. As for the fans...exceptional choice. However, there are too many fans in one place, but then again, I like open spaces, not closed off, sectionalized areas.

I know right! It's awesome! I like the actual house as well, I wouldn't change anything as far as the installs go. I'd probably have all Originals as well as they did. I also really like this house because 4 blade Originals are my favorite! House is nice, but I have seen better. As for the fans...exceptional choice. However, there are too many fans in one place, but then again, I like open spaces, not closed off, sectionalized areas. Too many fans? That's not possible! Just kidding, it can be but as far as this house goes, I'd say they're in perfect placement. Which room has too many fans? |

Just kidding, it can be but as far as this house goes, I'd say they're in perfect placement. Which room has too many fans? The living room/lanai area. There are three hunter originals installed between the living room and the space between the living room, lanai, and kitchen. If I remember correctly, one was a different color. I would do one original in the living area and a different fan in the lanai, and the other 2 remaining fans would not be installed. |

Wait, stop the press! The fans in the living area and the dining room are all the same color, just one has a light kit.

Here's the crazy part about this house- the person selling it (or at least one of the previous owners) is part of a collector's family. I remember on the other forum he posted pictures of the fans in this house while he was there with his family. Sadly, the thread is long gone but I remember him saying the only fan he couldn't get pictures of was the white/PB/cane Original in the master bedroom- which we finally get to see here.
It also looks like the house was redone. It used to be all dark wood in the living room/loft area, but the layout, the fans, EVERYTHING matches what was in the pictures he posted.

I think the fans are spaced out well so they look good all together, in my opinion anyway. I can see where you're coming from though. But if you ask me, if there's space for a fan, I say put it there.

Wow that's really cool! I wish the thread still existed, I would've loved to have seen those pictures. Is the collector still on the forums? I like white and polished brass Originals so I'm glad we get to see it here. I'm surprised he didn't take all these fans with him when he moved? I'm glad they didn't take the fans out or replace them. Usually that's what people do. Especially in public places it's like as soon as they see fans they take them out. |

Small world! This is the lake house my uncle owned for several years on Lake LBJ near Horseshoe Bay, TX. I can give you the details on these fans. There are a total of 6 Hunter Originals in the house. All but the dining room Original (the one with the light kit) are 1985 models, some of the first electrically-reversible fans. The dining room original is newer and has a slightly different bottom plate stamping (more "rounded" vent cutouts) and a larger motor tag. I oiled all six with Zoom Spout, and they all ran silently and smoothly. Very well-maintained fans! All are polished brass except for the brass/white one with cane blades in the master bedroom. All six are on Hunter Original 3-speed fan controls. I absolutely loved this house - the numerous recessed lights, vintage contemporary architecture, beautiful vaulted wood ceilings and layout. It's a shame my uncle sold it... he just grew tired of "the whole boat thing".  Attachments:

I wish he didn't sell it, I hope the new owners maintain it's vintage look. What year is the fan with the more rounded cutouts? Also I love the pictures you provided! Do you have any pictures of the white and brass Original or the one with the light? |

I vaguely remember being able to see the top tag from the loft and it denoted a 1.1 Amp motor, so it's merely a later production run of that generation of Original, with the reverse switch on the oil reservoir rather than the top of the motor housing like the others in the house. The way I see it, the "original" owners of the house must have been Original nuts to have all of those fans in the living area and yet still install one in the dining area!
There were also originally 3 large skylights in the Lanai, but they were leaking badly when my uncle purchased the house, so he had them removed and the ceiling re-paneled. Aside from that, the interior of the house was re-painted. The walls were originally peach with stained wood trim around the windows... rather dated looking, and not in a good way IMO. It was all repainted khaki. The kitchen cabinets were also repainted and the large light fixture over the kitchen island replaced some old halogen track lights that were outmatched in such a large kitchen.
The listing pictures don't show it, but the master bath has a large circular hot tub! I will see if I can dig up some pictures when I get home.

My house will probably look similar as far as installs go someday lol. Yeah I also like it better after they re-painted it. Just looked at the pictures of the hot tub. That house is wicked nice! Especially seeing the outside and where it was located, that is like a dream house. I would never sell it if I owned that house that's for sure. If you have anymore pictures of it you're willing to share I wouldn't mind taking a look. |
