If you’ve ever dreamed of living just like Fred, Wilma and family, now’s your chance.

An iconic building nicknamed the “Flintstone house” is now on the market for a cool $4.2 million.

The unusual house is perched on a hillside overlooking Interstate 280 just outside San Francisco and has been listed by Alain Pinel Realtors.

“Everyone knows the building driving on 280, but when they come inside, they’re in awe,” listing agent Judy Meuschke told NBC Bay Area.

And of the asking price, Meuschke said: “We felt that’s a pretty good price for a landmark.”

Meuschke says the homeowner, who wanted to remain private, is simply “moving on” after 19 years of living in the house.

She added: “You can see by her artwork and her furnishings and the things she collected that she loved this place.”

Meuschke is showing the home by appointment only and doesn’t plan on hosting any open house events.

With three bedrooms and two baths, the 2,730-square-foot home last sold in September 1996 for $800,000.

The house was designed by architect William Nicholson and built in 1976 to experiment with new building materials and techniques.

Nicholson’s team sprayed concrete onto wire mesh frames and giant inflated balloons to create the eye-catching “bubble” look.

The home fell into disrepair in the 1980s and underwent a remodel in the late 2000s.
