“Sleeper” House is sold

At foreclosure auction, $1.5 million buys home featured in ’73 Allen film

The futuristic Genesee Mountain house made famous by Woody

Allen’s “Sleeper” movie sold at a foreclosure auction

Wednesday for $1.5 million— $1 more than the minimum bid

placed by the lender that foreclosed on the iconic home.

Denver investor John Dilday, a regular on the auction

circuit who is known by his cronies in the industry as

“the Godfather,” said he already has a number of people

interested in buying the house at 855 Visionary Trail.

Dilday typically buys homes to flip them to other investors.

“I usually don’t buy houses like this unless I have interest,”

Dilday said.
