Still-futuristic 'Sleeper' house faces foreclosure

The home made famous by the 1973 Woody Allen movie "Sleeper" is set for the auction block, Orgasmatron and all, according to The Wall Street Journal. (Bing: Photos of Woody Allen)

The clamshell-looking home in Jefferson County, Colo., is set for auction Nov. 10 after owner Michael Dunahay fell behind on the $3.1 million mortgage for the home, which the Denver entrepreneur bought in 1999.

My guess is that the Orgasmatron is still intact, considering that the "fictional device used to stimulate people in Sleeper’s sex-free future," as described quite tastefully by The Journal, is actually the home's elevator.

Although the house is casually referred to as the Sleeper House, it actually was named the Sculptured House when it was built in 1963 by commercial architect Charles Deaton, The Journal writes.

However, even without its rise to fame in the movie "Sleeper," it still claims a prominent spot atop Genesee Mountain, where passers-by traveling between Denver and Colorado's biggest ski mountains would be unable to miss the still-futuristic-loo​king, 7,000-square-foot, three-story building.

Still it had been vacant for years when Dunahay, who founded time-share company Vacation Solutions, bought the home, which he later renovated and expanded, The Journal says.
