Dick Clark’s rockin’ retreat listed for $3.5 million <http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2012/real_estate/1203/gallery.Dick-Clark-house/index.html>
The legendary personality’s custom-designed home overlooking the Pacific looks like something straight out of the Flintstones, but it’s selling at modern day prices.
A home fit for a Flintstone

1 of 8

According to ABC News and other sources, Dick Clark’s one-bedroom home is listed for sale, for $3.5 million, according to Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage <http://www.californiamoves.com/property/details/1791301/MLS-12-584765/Address-Not-Available-Malibu-CA-90265.aspx?SearchID=14937532&RowNum=143&StateID=9&RegionID=4&IsRegularPS=True&IsSold=False> .

Whoever buys the place from the "world’s oldest teenager" will likely feel as if they are channeling another celebrity: Fred Flintstone.

The architect, Phillip Jon Brown, said the prehistoric design was dictated by circumstance. The 23-acre site is next to the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreational Area, which originally objected to Clark building a home on the property.

"[ Clark ] dug in his heels and said he was going to build a house there," said Brown, "I came up with the idea that if the house looked like a rock formation, the park conservancy would let us build on top. They liked the concept."

It was worth holding out for the hilltop location. The living room commands expansive views of the Pacific Ocean through rough arched windows.

In fact, there are few straight lines in the house. "The curvilinear architecture has an emotional appeal," said Brown.
NEXT: The dining room <http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2012/real_estate/1203/gallery.Dick-Clark-house/3.html>

The dining room features a free form counter and a rough, undulating ceiling. The interior walls were built of wood and steel beams and are covered in concrete, which is used throughout the house, said Brown.
NEXT: The kitchen <http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2012/real_estate/1203/gallery.Dick-Clark-house/4.html>

Wilma Flintstone would feel right at home cooking up a succulent Brontosaurus burger in this whimsical kitchen. Especially attractive are the cave-hole windows that look out onto the surrounding mountains.

The cabinets stay true to the design theme with their irregular door- and drawer-fronts. And could those be granite countertops?
NEXT: The bathroom <http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2012/real_estate/1203/gallery.Dick-Clark-house/5.html>

The house has two big bathrooms. This one features outside windows, curving walls, and indirect lighting.

Shelves are molded out of the poured concrete giving it a prehistoric look, but the appliances are all the height of modernity.
NEXT: The bedroom <http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2012/real_estate/1203/gallery.Dick-Clark-house/6.html>

The free-form fireplace and vaulted ceiling give the single bedroom a cozy and romantic look.

The South facing window looks out on the landscaped garden of aloe and other succulent plants and, beyond that, the Pacific.
NEXT: 360-degree views <http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2012/real_estate/1203/gallery.Dick-Clark-house/7.html>

"Dick Clark built the property so he could have 360-degree views," said architect Brown.

The Channel Islands, Boney Mountains and the lights of Los Angeles can all be seen from this home.
NEXT: Outside at night <http://money.cnn.com/galleries/2012/real_estate/1203/gallery.Dick-Clark-house/8.html>

The exterior of the home is comprised of heavy stucco with lots of rocks thrown into the mix.

"When it was still wet, we scrubbed in to expose some of the stones," said Brown. "That made it look like decomposed granite."

At night, light glows through the irregular openings as if it were a well-lit cave.

This one is priceless. A lesson to be learned from typing the wrong
email address!!

A Minneapolis couple decided to go to Florida to thaw out during a
particularly icy winter. They planned to stay at the same hotel where
they spent their honeymoon 20 years earlier.

Because of hectic schedules, it was difficult to coordinate their travel
schedules. So, the husband left Minnesota and flew to Florida on
Thursday, with his wife flying down the following day.
The husband checked into the hotel. There was a computer in his room, so
he decided to send an email to his wife. However, he accidentally left
out one letter in her email address, and without realizing his error,
sent the e-mail.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Houston, a widow had just returned home from her
husband’s funeral. He was a minister who was called home to glory
following a heart attack.
The widow decided to check her e-mail expecting messages from relatives
and friends. After reading the first message, she screamed and fainted.

The widow’s son rushed into the room, found his mother on the floor, and
saw the computer screen which read:

To: My Loving Wife
Subject: I’ve Arrived
Date: July 19, 2010

I know you’re surprised to hear from me. They have computers here now
and you are allowed to send emails to your loved ones.
I’ve just arrived and have been checked in.
I’ve seen that everything has been prepared for your arrival tomorrow.
Looking forward to seeing you then! Hope your journey is as uneventful
as mine was.

P.S. Sure is freaking hot down here!!!!
