The Legendary ‘Full House’ Residence Finds New Owners
Historic Sale of the Iconic Home
The famed house from the beloved 1990s sitcom “Full House” has recently been sold, marking the end of an era. This Northern California property gained fame through its visual tie to the fictional Tanner family, prominently featured in the show’s theme song.
Property Details and Features
Sold for $6 million, this remarkable four-bedroom, four-bathroom home is not only a piece of television history but also boasts modern amenities. The expansive townhome encompasses a chef’s kitchen equipped with a wine fridge, alongside a spacious second living room.
Architectural Highlights
Originally built in 1883 by architect Charles Lewis Hinkel, this residence was transformed by producer Jeff Franklin in 2016 after acquiring it for $4 million. His vision was to turn the home into a tourist attraction centered around the “Full House” legacy.
Interior Description
After Franklin’s renovations, the home was listed in 2020 for $5.35 million. The property, located at 1709 Broderick Street, offers over 3,700 square feet of contemporary living space, featuring:
- Light-wood floors and a light color scheme with splashes of color on accents.
- A kitchen with a walk-in pantry that features navy-blue cabinets and a white marble countertop island.
- A primary bedroom with a fireplace and a cozy window alcove.
- A private guest suite, wet bar, laundry room, and a garage that includes a gym.
Significance of the Home’s Exterior
Despite the Tanner family’s fictional residence, only the exterior of the house was utilized for filming. The cast, featuring late stars like Bob Saget, John Stamos, and Dave Coulier, filmed their scenes at the Warner Bros. lot in Los Angeles.
Comparison to Other Iconic Properties
This sale mirrors recent trends in iconic properties, as seen with the sale of the McCallister family house from “Home Alone,” which exchanged hands just before Christmas, selling for $5.25 million.
Conclusion and Future Prospects
The transaction of the “Full House” residence not only highlights the allure of iconic television landmarks but also exemplifies how such properties can evolve with new ownership. As the new owners take charge, the future of this emblematic home remains a point of interest for both fans and real estate enthusiasts.
