Question Sleeper house sold at foreclosure auction

The house is located in the foothills just outside Denver, Colorado.

It was designed by self-taught architect Charles Deaton and completed

in 1966, but Deaton never lived in it. Woody Allen leased it out in May

1973 to serve as the home of earnestly pretentious poet and greeting

card composer Luna Schlosser (played by Diane Keaton). In 1991,

Deaton sold the quirky pad to California investor Larry Polhill

for $800,000. At first Polhill was an enthusiastic owner, but he quickly

lost interest and the place fell into disrepair. In 1999—after sitting

vacant for years with broken windows and desert creatures taking

up residence in its cozy curves—Polhill sold it to John Huggins,

Denver’s director of economic development and a former streaming

media honcho, for about $1.3 million.

Huggins spent several million dollars on renovations, which included

a 5,000 square foot addition, based on plans drawn up by Deaton.

Huggins then put it on the market in 2002 for $10 million. When it

wasn’t snatched up, he sold off 10 acres and re-listed it for $4.85 million.

After four years on the market, a vacation entrepreneur

and time-share reseller named Michael Dunahay finally bought

it for $3.45 million…and actually moved in.
