Want to live like Fred Flintstone? Even if you don’t live in Bedrock, circa the Stone Age, you can get pretty close to living like Fred and Wilma without venturing too far from San Francisco.
“The Flintstone House,” located in Hillsborough, Calif., am upscale suburb of San Francisco, is on the market for $4.2 million, according to San Francisco Realtor Judy Meuschke of Alain Pinel Realtors, who is listing the house.

The kitchen was designed by architect Eugene Tsui, who implemented his signature “biologic” design with lighted niches and appliance enclosures, glass countertops encased with diagonal metal spines, swinging wood cutout doors, drawers, and cabinets. The door was created by famed Burning Man artist, Dan Das Mann, and the living room was built with a sunk-in conversation pit with circular seating

Kinda cool on the inside, but...
Maybe the Flintstone house if you did acid while watching The Flintstones.
Butt ugly house.

You’re too kind.

was auctioned a couple times as recall in past.
at one, reported sales price was $289,000. Owner said to have asked buyer why he bid only $289 when the lot was appraised at $300,000. The buyer reportedly agreed that the lot was probably worth $300 — but that it would cost the buyer money to knock down the krap that was sitting on top of it.

Theirs is much nicer:
