A unique home, located in the town of Hillsborough, an affluent suburb of San Francisco, was never bought by anyone in the year during which it was put up for sale.
The mansion, known to the people of San Francisco as the "Flintstones House", had a starting price of $ 4.2 million. But even after two price cuts in 2016, it never got a new owner.

For many of the neighbors, he became an eyesore, especially after he was dyed orange and purple, which cannot be said about those who like him.

Take a look at a home that has managed to share people's opinions.
Even from a distance, "House of the Flintstones" looks rather unusual.

It was built of concrete, painted orange and purple, although it was originally off-white, just after it was built in 1976.

The strange shape of the house was created using shotcrete and a series of mesh frames raised by means of balloons that are used for aerostatic research.

This gave it a prehistoric lumpy appearance, which is the reason for the nickname.

Tiles and unique artwork are scattered throughout the single family home to match the exterior.

As well as the color scheme of the interior.

Non-standard ceilings everywhere.

The house fell into disrepair in the 1980s, but was renovated and reconstructed after a stream of water severely damaged the foundation.

Then the house got a new owner.

The central island in the kitchen is attached to the ceiling, which also has a skylight.

Despite the appearance, the house has ordinary kitchen appliances.

Because of the pilot project, the house received quite a lot of criticism.

Many call it ugliness, while others are just curious how it looks inside.

The criticism only increased after the current owners bought the property for $ 800,000 in 1996.

Namely, they changed its color scheme from white to the current orange-violet.

Whether you like it or not, the house has become a landmark in the San Francisco region.

Many celebrities are rumored to have filmed it or wanted to buy it, including ...

... George Lucas, O. Jay Simpson and an unnamed Silicon Valley investor.

In September 2014, it had a sales value of $ 4.2 million.

But now it has been reduced to $ 3.2 million, the second time in a year.

Whoever buys it will get three bedrooms and 250 sq. meters of San Francisco's bizarre history.

Spooky story!

In the modern world of homogeneous houses and twin sleeping areas, it is very difficult to find a home that really has expressiveness and character. That is why, upon seeing an old Victorian mansion with large windows and a mansard roof, most people simply fall in love with it. Only one detail is alarming: the house built in 1875 is being sold for a penny. For the real reason, the hair stands on end!

In 1875, a wealthy furniture maker named Sylvester Pearce designed and built this chic Victorian mansion in Massachusetts, USA.

The house with 3-meter ceilings has 10 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms, chic fireplaces and bay windows. All frames, doors, stairs, the smallest wood and forged parts are handmade!

Considering all this, it seems incredible that such a house would sell for the price of an ordinary three-room apartment.

But a simple investigation should be carried out, and you will understand why. This house tops the list of cursed houses in the United States. Over the course of several hundred years, he has changed many owners, and many of them died under mysterious circumstances shortly after the acquisition of the house.

There is paranormal activity in the mansion, and it seems that someone is still wandering its dilapidated and deserted corridors. Many argue that they saw the figure of a servant girl here, others - a boy who sadly peers into the house through the central window. The third dreamed of a sad woman.

At one time, the house was the headquarters of the Masonic lodge, a brothel, a meeting place for poets and private property. When the new owners moved into the house, they had no idea about its features. But after a couple of weeks, people started to experience strange and creepy things. They saw how objects move, heard whispers and songs, smelled the smell of other people's perfumes. Over time, the sinister activity intensified.

Shadows darted from room to room. Doors slammed shut and voices spoke names.

After all, ghosts appeared to the owners.

Once, when a paranormal specialist was invited to the house, he asked a question in the room: "Who is the owner of this house?" - and heard a clear answer: "Lillian". Digging through the archives, the man discovered that this is in fact the name of one of the first owners of the mansion!

But despite all the mysteries, this home definitely has its own charm. Do you believe in the sinister history of this house and would you agree to live in such a place?

The unusual home, located in the affluent area of ​​Hillsborough, California, has been up for sale for a year now.

This is what this miracle of architectural thought looks like, which no one has yet coveted.
