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.

It looks like a dinosaur ate some play-doh and then barfed it up.

“Dan the Mann” must have been on acid when he designed it.

I’ve taken dumps that were more aesthetically pleasing than that hideous house.

The kitchen is well equipped with hooks to skin and dry deer and wooly mammoth.

That’s not a Flintstone house.
More like a Planet of the Apes, or the Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru house.

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.

Fortunately (?), as you can see, a demolition did not occur.

(I was not present to witness the above, but the report was widely circulating at the time and including among real estate experts in the area. It probably had some basis in truth, just my guess.)

I rather like this odd ‘house.’ But almost everyone seeing it for the first time breaks out in loud laughter.

I don’t know that’s pretty ugly, but I might do a lot of things for $$4.2 million.

Me either. A real shame too because it used to be one of my favorite cities.

Took a drive up to San Francisco in May and drove past it. My daughter pointed it out, not that it was a great view from the freeway.

Fred and Wilma wouldn't be caught dead in anything as hideous as that.

Theirs is much nicer:
