There’s a house for sale in Northern California that would be perfect for deep-pocketed fans of a certain 1980s sitcom.
The Lower Pacific Heights house at 1709 Broderick St. in San Francisco, which served as the exterior for the hit ABC family show “Full House” and the recent “Fuller House” reboot on Netflix, hit the market in late May for $4.15 million, according to Zillow.com.
The Italianate Victorian home, built in 1883, was prominently featured as the exterior for the Tanner family’s house, though like other famous movie and TV homes for sale the interior shots for the show, which ran from 1987 to 1995 and starred comedian Bob Saget, John Stamos and Dave Coulier as well as Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen as Michelle Tanner, were filmed in a Southern California television studio.
The cast of “Full House” would have actually been a tight fit for this 2,500 square-foot home, which has just three bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths. The house includes a walk-out landscaped rear garden, three marble fireplaces, built-in bookshelves, stainless steel appliances and a wine cabinet that can fit over 100 bottles. Edward Deleski of Vanguard Properties, the Realtor representing the home, did not return phone calls or text messages seeking comment.
The three-story home, designed by Charles Lewis Hinkel, a prominent San Francisco home builder in the Pacific Heights and Western Addition neighborhoods, was last sold for $1.85 million in April 2006, according to Zillow.com. If the property were to sell at the $4.15 million listing price, a 30-year mortgage (given a 20% down payment of $830,000 and a 30-year fixed rate of 3.77%) would be a monthly payment of $17,250, not including monthly payments of property taxes and insurance of about $1,830), Zillow estimated. In 1990, while the show was filming, the house sold for a mere $725,000, according to Zillow.
The listing for the Broderick Street property continues a recent trend of single-family homes in San Francisco being offered for ridiculous-seeming valuations, only to find multiple cash bidders. Last month, a tiny earthquake shack built in 1906 in Cole Valley went on the market for more than $1 million while another derelict earthquake shack in the Outer Mission sold for more than $400,000.
The median value for homes in Lower Pacific Heights is $1.17 million , though homes within a mile of the Broderick St. address have recently sold for between $3 million and $6 million and Zillow estimates that neighboring homes on the same street could sell for as much as $4.7 million.
Homes in the neighborhood of Lower Pacific Heights have fallen 3.4% in the past year and Zillow predicts that homes in the neighborhood will fall another 1.6% in the coming year. Last month, Redfin noted that the average sales price for luxury homes in San Francisco (which Redfin defined as the top 5% of home prices in a given quarter and worth more than $1 million) fell 4.7% in the first quarter of 2016 to $4.4 million, down from about $4.6 million a year ago, as the East Bay city of Oakland becomes an option for buyers who have been priced out of San Francisco.
