The famed, polarizing Flintstone House in Hillsborough, located at 45 Berryessa Way, landed on the market in 2015 for a whopping $4.2 million. Since then, it saw several price chops. And in May, it found a buyer. Today the final sale price was announced. After asking $3.19 million, it closed for $2.8 million, according to Judy Meuschke of Alain Pinel Realtors.

Korie Edises, who bought the place in 1996 for $800,000 (the equivalent of $1.23 million today) ended up netting a hefty return. Now the big question remains—will the new owner keep the unique abode as-is?

Using innovative building materials, architect William Nicholson built the home in 1976. Its one-of-a-kind look—a series of rusty orange blobs relaxing in the hills over I-280 in Hillsborough—is an unofficial South Bay landmark.

Regarding the home’s special structure, Curbed SF noted in 2015, “The rounded forms are made by spraying a kind of concrete on metal frames molded over balloons.” Colloquially known as the Flintstone House, it’s also referred to as the Barbapapa House “after the circular, shape-shifting creatures featured in a children’s book from the 1970s.”

The home’s exterior (when it was built it was off-white, but it has been a rusty orange shade since 2007) has piqued the curiosity of many, but Meuschke promises the interior is just as unique. “It’s really a piece of art,” she says. “It has amorphous windows and an almost Southwestern style. The owner has a fantastic art and furniture collection.”
