Yabba-dabba-doo! Meet the Flinstones house on the market in Newport

Like something out of a 1970s cartoon, Hollander House is a real family home with a design inspired by fantasy and it could now be yours.

Part sculpture, part life-sized Flintstone’s residence, this unique Northern Beaches home is out of this world and on the market.

Hidden from view on off Grandview Drive in Newport, Hollander House is an example of how experimental design can create a unique property that is also an artistic talking point.

Built between 1969 and 1971 by celebrated architect David Hollander, the hand-formed ferro-cement house has drawn international attention, featuring in a number of magazines and books. It is one of only a couple in Sydney and has just been listed with a price tag of about $1.5 million through Modern House Estate Agents.

Reminiscent of famed Spanish architect Antonio Gaudi’s Barcelona designs, the exterior and interior spaces of Hollander House flow with seemingly fluid lines, none of which are perfectly straight.

Owner Nancy Renzi, a Californian-born interior designer said she fell in love with the home at first sight.

“I thought this is something I have never seen before,” she said.

“I could see right away what I wanted to do with it,” said Renzi who lives at Grandview Dr with her two sons.

In the three years Renzi has called Hollander House home, she has made a few changes but focused in on furnishing the property in its original era. The inclusions can be negotiated into the sale.

Now that Renzi has completed her piece of work, she is ready for the next project.

Hollander House has three bedrooms, plus a study, several living spaces and two bathrooms in the home which sits on just over 900sq m of lush landscape.

In true 1970s style, the groovy home has a sunken lounge area, or “conversation pit” with integrated seating that comes off the family dining space.

Renzi also added an outdoor bath on the private deck from the main bedroom and another large deck off the kitchen with an outdoor fireplace as the warming centrepiece.

Throughout the residence there is light that streams in from skydomes, hand-formed skylight towers and “light folds” that fall across the interior texture.
