Happy real estate news, Tannerinos: per The Hollywood Reporter, Full and Fuller House creator Jeff Franklin has just purchased the San Francisco house that served as the exterior for the Tanner family’s overstuffed home in his surprisingly durable ’80s and ’90s sitcom. Franklin reportedly purchased the Victorian-style building for $4.15 million, buying it from the latest in a long line of owners who were less than thrilled at the millions of tourists his show has directed to their doorsteps over the years, asking searching questions about the whereabouts of predictability.

Not so the writer and producer, who announced his intentions to return the house’s iconic red door—painted seafoam green, apparently, by homeowners who did not know or care how sad you were about that time Comet went missing—to its rightful place, and even briefly re-Full it for the show’s upcoming 30th anniversary. “I hope to bring the cast up to the house and have a big slumber party here, so people can drive by and actually see the Tanner family living there for one whole day,” Franklin said, sounding a little like the world’s most wholesome Saw villain. “That would be pretty fun.”

 

[EatinOlives]

Four fucking million dollars.

My god.

 

[Sanjuro]

Can any of the cast afford to live there?

 

[Neptonic]

Holy shit I'd watch a Full House X Saw

 

[mreddie]

4 million bucks? All that Hanging with Mr Cooper money...

 

[Linkura]

Can any of the cast afford to live there?

Do they get royalties from reruns like the Seinfeld cast? Hmm...

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Always knew that house would be massively expensive.

 

[Megalosaro]

You guys ever notice that that house doesn't sense.

The living room was way too large for that house. Plus that window is where the stair case was.

 

[shira]

Do they get royalties from reruns like the Seinfeld cast? Hmm...

It's that International and streaming money.

 

[MisterHero]

The Tanners have to be loaded. That entire apartment on the 3rd floor must've put its value through the roof.

 

[Thursday War]

that title gave me an aneurysm

 

[Data West]

the urkel house was better

 

[Piichan]

I wonder how different the interior looks from the show's set.

 

[MisterHero]

the urkel house was better

Urkel lived in his basement and his parents abandoned him

Spoiler

=(

 

[ThePrequelsSuck]

Off topic, but I've never understood why most people refer to Full House as a "90s sitcom".

The show ran from 1987 to 1995, and it's often been said that 80s pop culture lasted until 1993, so wouldn't that make Full House more of an 80s sitcom?

Well, it won't have that giant living room for one thing...

 

[SilentRob]

“I hope to bring the cast up to the house and have a big slumber party here, so people can drive by and actually see the Tanner family living there for one whole day,” Franklin said,

That is not creepy. No sir. Not at all.

 

[kirblar]

Yeah, that worked out so well on American Horror Story.

Reruns

 

[kirblar]

Reruns

Yup, Syndication.

 

[bjork]

Full House is the fetch of sitcoms

The show was on air for the longest and most popular during the 90s.

 

[Ivan 3414]

Full House is the fetch of sitcoms

Full House happened and it's still happening.

Steph would have to start dealing meth again

 

[wenis]

The Olsens could have purchased that home 20x over.

 

[HStallion]

I'd love to see Bob Sagat and the Olson Twins do terrible things for cocaine.

 

[Jigorath]

Do they get royalties from reruns like the Seinfeld cast? Hmm...

Most of the Seinfeld cast doesn't get royalties from reruns. Only Jerry and Larry. The rest got screwed.

 

[B.K.]

Is that house even big enough to have the whole cast in it at once?

 

[Rajack]

I'd love to see Bob Sagat and the Olson Twins do terrible things for cocaine.

WAT.

 

[Loxley]

For poops and giggles I looked up the house on Google maps, it's pretty unrecognizable nowadays. Granted that's partially because of all the freaking trees in front of it.

I have no doubt the two taller trees directly in front of the windows were an addition at some point by one of the various owners who were tired of folks taking pictures of their house.

 

[Escape Goat]

Is that house even big enough to have the whole cast in it at once?

Certainly not on the foyer.

 

[Wowfunhappy]

I don't even know what Full House is (beyond "a show on TV"), but this thread title is GOAT.

 

[Banjotanooki]

Yo dawg, we heard you like Full house so we bought the full house so we can put the full house in yo full house so you can have a full house in yo full house.

 

[Dishwalla]

Jeez, say that thread title five times fast.

 

[Yaboosh]

I wonder if they will have a lady there yelling at anyone taking pictures on the steps like the old owners.

 

[Striker]

That is not creepy. No sir. Not at all.

Reminds me of that X Files episode with the Brady Bunch still living in that same house.

 

[Valkerionseven]

Wow talk about really loving something you helped create. Good for him...

“I hope to bring the cast up to the house and have a big slumber party here, so people can drive by and actually see the Tanner family living there for one whole day,”

ahh... there it is.

 

[Toki1776]

How many cast members could the Full House house house if the Full House house could house the cast members?

 

[EmSeta]

I would've guessed way more than 4 million...

 

[Aquavelvaman]

That's way less than I would have expected.

 

[Syriel]

Four fucking million dollars.

My god.

Always knew that house would be massively expensive.

Teardowns in SF can go for more than a million.

Doesn't seem that expensive for a property with that heritage.

 

[adamantypants]

Cheap houses in San Francisco are in the low millions. A painted lady house goes for 3-4x that price.

 

[Skellig Gra]

I would've guessed way more than 4 million...

Same here. One of the painted ladies right on the park there. Its iconic.

 

[biggersmaller]

Dude has problems.

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

Is he trying to make his on porn parody?

 

[Zabka]

Same here. One of the painted ladies right on the park there. Its iconic.

Weird. I looked up the address and it's not even close to the park. I just rewatched the original opening and the zoom out shows it accurately. Was the park used for establishing shots? I feel deceived.

 

[Novocaine]

That thread title.

 

[PastorOfMuppets]

I'm guessing that a lot of that $4 million was based on the fact that it's the Full House house.

So how much would a house like that go for in San Francisco minus the notoriety?

 

[DrEvil]

Weird. I looked up the address and it's not even close to the park. I just rewatched the original opening and the zoom out shows it accurately. Was the park used for establishing shots? I feel deceived.

I've been to the house. It's literally across the street from the park.

 

[bounchfx]

I'm guessing that a lot of that $4 million was based on the fact that it's the Full House house.

So how much would a house like that go for in San Francisco minus the notoriety?

3.5 million
