Iconic TV home back on the market after Fuller House is cancelled

Fancy owning a piece of TV history? The classic three-storey Victorian first used in Full House is about to go on the market again.

The Broderick St, San Francisco, home from the classic 1980s sitcom Full House and the 2015 reboot Fuller House, is owned in real life by the show’s creator and executive producer Jeff Franklin.

In a statement to the San Francisco Chronicle, Franklin announced his plans to sell following the cancellation of Fuller House in February, saying the home will “always have tremendous emotional significance” for him.

“It is a symbol of the shows I love, and the second family I have formed with the casts of Full and Fuller House. Now that Fuller House is ending, I will be putting the home back on the market. I hope to find a buyer who wants to make it a full house once again.”

Franklin purchased the home from interior designer Courtnay Daniels Haden in 2016, not long after Fuller House first aired.

The house appears in the opening credits of Full House, however the five seasons of Fuller House were shot on a replica of the home built on the Warner Bro’s back lot.

According to the Chronicle, Franklin never lived in the home.

Instead, he had it repainted to match the 1980s exterior for use in publicity shots, and planned to remodel the interior to match the rebooted show’s sets with a view to renting it out to the public

Neighbours already concerned about the number of tourists visiting the home were unimpressed and sought to block the application.

Although a price has not been set yet, the house in San Francisco’s coveted Pacific Heights district is likely to fetch significantly more than the US$4.5 million ($6.34 million) Franklin paid for it in 2016.

Due to the so-called San Francisco Tech Boom, Fortune reports house prices in the Bay Area rose by almost US$250,000 ($352,000) in the last six months of 2018 alone.

Franklin said in the statement he planned to put the five bed, three and a half bathroom home on the market some time at the end of April.

Fans were given a peek inside the house when it went on the market back in 2016, revealing a sleek, modern kitchen, and stylish decor.
