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.

Lol!!! Best description! Very accurate!
Excellent.

I remember seeing it driving up 280 to the city. I thought it was weird looking then, but seeing the inside it looks like a bad 60s acid trip.
Now I know what “butt-ugly” means.
