Flintstone house

In May, after several years on the market, a unique house situated in the affluent town of Hillsborough, California, finally found a buyer.

We now know, thanks to Curbed SF, exactly how much the new owner ended up paying for it: $2.8 million.

Known by Bay Area locals as the "Flintstones House" for its kooky attributes, the house was originally listed for $4.2 million in 2015. It underwent several price chops and was most recently listed for $3.19 million.

Many neighbors call the home an eyesore, especially after it was painted orange and purple, according to Business Insider. But others in this wealthy suburb of San Francisco consider it a landmark that's beloved for its quirkiness. 

Take a look around the home that has divided a community. Judy Meuschke of Alain Pinel Realtors had the listing.

Even from far away, it's easy to see that the Flintstones House isn't a normal property.



It's made from concrete that's been painted orange and purple, though it was first finished in an off-white color when it was built in 1976.



The odd shape of the house was created by applying shotcrete to both a steel rebar structure and a series of mesh frames held up by inflated balloons typically used for aeronautical research.
