Famous for a plethora of big and small screen roles (including voicing a grown-up Ted Mosby on “How I Met Your Mother”), as well as a rather raunchy stand-up routine, Saget will undoubtedly best be…
One “Full House” role that was secured right from the start? The handsome San Francisco Victorian that portrayed the Tanner residence on the series. As The Hollywood Reporter notes, Franklin “handpicked” the three-story Italianate-style property in early 1987 “after a location manager visited San Francisco to select options.” He told the outlet, “I wanted the family to live in one of those classic Victorian homes. For some reason, that one jumped out at me.
Though it is often erroneously reported that the Tanners reside in one of SF’s famed Painted Ladies, those structures only appear in the series’ opening credits as the family picnics in nearby Alamo Square. The actual dwelling featured on the show can be found about a mile away at 1709 Broderick St. in Lower Pacific Heights.
Throughout the years, the idyllic abode has become a virtual icon, one as synonymous with “Full House” as Saget himself, so it is no surprise that fans are now heading there to memorialize the comedian, leaving flowers, notes and even bread and beer on the sidewalk out front.The picturesque residence appeared regularly in establishing shots of the Tanner home throughout “Full House’s” eight-season run.
The lower level is comprised of an additional bedroom and bathroom, a walk-in closet, a laundry room and a den with a wet bar.The house also boasts an attached two-car garage with a large storage room and a well-manicured rear garden on its 0.07-acre lot.Only the front exterior of the dwelling appeared on “Full House.
Though the Tanner house set is markedly different in design from the actual residence, the decorative archways that frame the bay windows throughout are an obvious carryover.“Full House” aficionados hoping to see the pad in person, but unwilling to brave the unfriendly neighbors shouldn’t sell their dreams so soon as a replica of the residence now stands at Warner Bros. Studio.
