Take a look inside the real-life ‘Flintstones’ home that costs $2.8 million

Following is a transcript of the video.

Narrator: This is the Flintstone House. If you’re ever driving down Berryessa Way in Hillsborough, California, you can’t miss it. The house stands out among its neighbors with its smooth purple-and-orange domes, not to mention the huge dinosaur sculptures in the yard. When William Nicholson designed the house in 1976, he didn’t have “The Flintstones” in mind. That designation came later.

William Nicholson: When it first was nicknamed the Flintstone House, I was really taken aback because, I mean, this was my baby, this was my creation, and, you know, you had a pride of authorship come in there.

Narrator: Nicholson was actually inspired by the Blue Mosque in Istanbul, Turkey. He had visited the mosque, and the interior domed ceiling made him want to design a home from the inside out. So even though the house gets a lot of attention for its funky exterior, the inside is also a sight to behold.

Colorful stained-glass windows are built into the walls. Round built-in shelves line the walls of the kitchen along with fun details like these swirling designs in the ceiling. Inside the tallest orange dome is a sitting area called the conversation pit. An orange upholstered couch curves around the front of the fireplace, and a big window looks out onto a succulent garden and patio.
