Bring on the orgasmatron

Don't you want to buy the futuristic house featured in 'Sleeper'? It's half off, only $4.9 million. The current buyer, who spent two years restoring the place, "treated the project like a historic rehab":

Huggins scoured the Internet and stores nationwide to find iconic '60s and '70s furniture for the home. He found late-'60s vintage bright-orange chairs for his entertainment room at a New York store. The chairs stack into a cube to make room for a Murphy bed to drop down.

"It was like an Easter egg hunt," said Huggins, who worked on the restoration with Deaton's daughter, Charlee Deaton, an interior designer, and her husband, architect Nick Antonopoulos.

The work paid off, with the house being listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its architectural merit, even though most buildings on the register are more than 50 years old.
