One of the most interesting and unusual pieces of real
estate in the United States is located on Genesee Mountain in Jefferson County,
Colorado. It’s referred to as the Sleeper house because it was featured in
Woody Allen’s science fiction flick Sleeper. It’s also known as the Sculptured
House, and its design features an elliptical curve and a spaceship look:
Once listed as one America’s Ugliest Mansions by Forbes, this home was built in 1963 by
architect Charles Deaton. The budget for building the Sleeper house ran out
before the house was even finished. The home sat vacant and unfinished until
1999 when it was finally purchased. The interior was completed in 2003 by
Deaton’s daughter. It was sold in 2006 to a Denver entrepreneur, and by 2010 the owner could not make
the payments. The home was sold again under a foreclosure auction that same
year.
Here’s a great
