An iconic celebrity needs an equally impressive home, and that
is exactly what television legend Dick Clarke has had.
The 82-year-old is selling his Malibu retreat and the house looks
just like the Flintstones’ home in the famous cartoon.
Sitting on top of a very steep hill, the specially designed home is
on the market for $3.5million but it’s appearance from the outside
is not the biggest selling point it has to offer.
The unusual architectural retreat has huge glass windows in every room which give amazing views of the nearby Pacific Ocean, Channel Islands, Boney Mountains and Serrano Valley.
Although the property only
has one bedroom, it boasts two bathrooms and looks like a cavern
throughout the whole house.
The cave like structure and
high ceilings add to the Flintstones feel as does the log burning
fire place and it’s wine cellar.
Set in a 23-acre estate the
luxury and extrovert home is an architectural marvel and is classed
as one of Malibu’s landmark buildings.
The listing agent describes it
as: ‘art as architecture at it’s finest.’
They said it is: ‘Truly exceptional and one-of-a-kind from within
and without. The architecture of this home seamlessly marries form
and function. The interior space is extremely voluminous and
features an expanse of glass to capture the views from every room
of this home.’
The owners of the property,
Kari and Dick, are well known in America for their youthful
appearance and Dick’s impressive career.
The televison and radio legend
is best known for hosting long-running TV shows such as American
Bandstand, the game show Pyramid, and Dick Clark’s New Year’s
Rockin’ Eve.
He is also known for his
departing catchphrase, ‘For now, Dick Clark, so long,’ which says
while doing a military salute.
Clark suffered a stroke in 2004 but returned to host his New Year’s
Rockin’ Eve show on 31 December 2005 with a shaky performance and
slightly slurred speech.
In 1973, he created the
American Music Awards show, which he still produces every
year.
