As the current owner of the Hillsborough, Calif., home can attest, it’s time to move on and share the quirky space that’s been on the market for over a year with others who will undoubtedly enjoy the home’s unique façade—and interior elements. From its sunken conversation pit with fireplace, 30-foot ceilings, glass countertops in the kitchen and nautilus shape, the house inspires creativity, even if prospective buyers aren’t knocking down the door. And thanks to Airbnb, those looking for a one-of-a-kind vacation experience have one more property to add to their list. So get in touch with your inner Wilma and Fred Flintstone and grab five of your closest friends (the space accommodates six, so choose wisely…) and plan your getaway today. Looking for more Flintstone fun? Be sure to check out our original post to take a peek inside. This post was originally published on RISMedia’s blog, Housecall.
