San Francisco Chronicles article by By Aidin Vaziri
The San Francisco Victorian famously featured in the 1980s sitcom “Full House” and its spinoff, “Fuller House,” has returned to the market with an asking price of $6.5 million.
Located at 1709 Broderick St. in Lower Pacific Heights, the residence was prominently depicted in the opening credits of both series. However, its interior hardly resembles the fictional Tanner family homes from the shows, as those were filmed on a Warner Bros. studio set in Los Angeles.
Originally constructed in 1900, the property underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2018 by architect Richard Landry. The transformation was spearheaded by “Full House” creator Jeff Franklin, who acquired the home for $4 million and invested an additional $2 million to meticulously remodel the exterior to mirror the iconic imagery from the TV show’s opening sequence.
“What makes this property special is the design that was used to open up what is a typical Victorian home with closed off spaces into something that feels more like the modern homes being built today," said Rachel Swann of the Swann Group, the listing agent for the house.
"It was notable that an architect of Richard Landry's caliber took the time and care to work on this residence," she said. "The renovation was extensive from the ground up with no expense or detail spared.”
Despite Franklin’s intentions to utilize it as a promotional hub for the series, objections from neighbors led to his eventual sale of the property for $5,350,000 in 2020. Franklin never took up residence there.
A quick search on Google Maps for “Tanner family house” will promptly direct you to 1709 Broderick St.
In 2018, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency’s Board of Directors decided to restrict tour buses and other large commercial vehicles, seating more than nine people, from passing by the home due to its location on a narrow stretch of Broderick between Pine and Bush streets.
Many people mistakenly believe that the property is one of the “Painted Ladies” on Steiner Street, which are also featured in the opening credits of “Full House” as the Tanner family picnics in nearby Alamo Square Park.
The residence offers approximately 3,700 square feet of interior space, comprising four bedrooms, three full bathrooms and one half-bathroom, all set on a 3,123-square-foot lot.
It also features a gas fireplace, a secluded English garden and a two-car garage. Additionally, the home retains several period details, including crown molding and 11-foot ceilings on the main floor.
The plaster handprints of the “Full House” cast members, including Bob Saget and John Stamos, can be included as part of the negotiations.
