The 'Full House' House Is for Sale Again — With No '80s Decor in Sight - Business Insider

The San Francisco house used as the Tanner residence in the beloved sitcom "Full House" is back on the market for $6.5 million.

The early opening credits of the show — which chronicled the hijinks of three men parenting three sisters over eight seasons from 1987 to 1995 — ended with a shot of the Victorian townhouse at 1709 Broderick Street. Home Interior Candles

In reality, though, the show filmed all of its interior scenes at a studio in Los Angeles. So the memorable living room and kitchen where countless humorous exchanges took place never actually existed inside the house.

That doesn't stop people from showing up and taking pictures.

The "Full House" fandom is still alive — so much so that the show's creator, Jeff Franklin, paid $4 million for the house in 2016 and planned to renovate the interior into a replica of the TV set and allow fans to visit.

However, those plans fell through and he instead renovated the home. The outside looks the same as it did in the '80s, but the red door has been repainted a more neutral black color. The same can't be said about the inside, which was completely updated with upscale 21st-century finishings and furniture.

Franklin sold the house for $5.35 million in 2020. Four years later, those buyers are now sellers, hoping to offload the four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom townhouse for $6.5 million.

Take a look at the "Full House" house, which remains a pop-culture touchpoint even though it's undergone so many changes.

Rachel Swann of The Swann Group listed the four-bedroom home, which last sold in 2020 for $5.35 million.

Jeff Franklin, the show's creator, bought the home in 2016 for $4 million and renovated it before the 2020 sale.

In the opening credits of the show, the family is seen driving across San Francisco's Golden Gate Bridge and picnicking by the famous row of "Painted Ladies" — pastel-colored Victorian townhouses — across from Alamo Square.

The house that the Tanners "lived in" during the show — the one used for exterior shots that's for sale — is actually about a mile north of Alamo Square.

The exterior of the home looks slightly updated since the show first aired in 1987, but it retains a neutral-colored facade, a big bay window, brick steps, and a door framed by white columns.

It's still a tourist attraction for many fans of "Full House," and many paid pilgrimages and left flowers after star Bob Saget's sudden death in 2022.

The inside of the home always looked different than it did on the show because all indoor scenes were filmed using a soundstage.

Franklin's original plan after buying the house was to renovate the 3,737-square-foot home to replicate the set of the show, but those plans fell through.

The house was originally built in 1883, but its most recent renovation happened in 2019 by architect Richard Landry.
