Not only is Filoli a magnificent mansion, it also has one of the most unequivocal well manicured garden. It's beyond imagination that at one time of the history, the home was actually occupied by the 2 different families!

We started with Fall Waldorf Salad which complemented  exceptionally well with cranberry scone with lemon curd and zucchini madeleines.

For dessert, there was extensive selection of pumpkin spice bars, Halloween petite fours, black forest brownine and apple streusel tart.

Flintstone House for Sale!

We've always loved the Flintstone house and this iconic Flintstone house in Hillsborough is for sale!!!

'Flintstones' House in Hillsborough Listed for $4.2M

It is a 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom home perched in the hills over I-280 in Hillsborough. It is truly one-of-a-kind property and probably a once-in-a-lifetime to own the Flintstone house.

We recall when the home's exterior was off-white (which truly represented Flintstones Home and has been painted a rusty orange shade.

The house was created by architect William Nicholson as an experiment in innovative building materials. The rounded forms are made by spraying a kind of concrete on metal frames molded over balloons. Most call it the Flintstone House, but it's also deemed the Barbapapa House after the circular, shape-shifting creatures featured in a children's book from the 1970s.

Truly an unique investment opportunity of a lifetime!
