The San Francisco Victorian used in the opening credits of the TV sitcom “Full House” and its Netflix reboot “Fuller House” is going back on the market.

Its owner, Jeff Franklin, the creator and executive producer of both series, plans to list the five-bedroom, 3.5-bathroom home at 1709 Broderick St. by the end of April. A price has not been determined.

Neighbors say the home has been attracting throngs of tourists since Franklin purchased the home in 2016 and began talking it up in interviews about “Fuller House,” which debuted the same year.

“The home will always have tremendous emotional significance to me,” Franklin said in a statement. “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.”

Photos of the home’s exterior were used for the original series featuring the fictional Tanner family, which ran on ABC from 1987 to 1995, and the Netflix sequel, which includes some of the original cast. The show’s fifth and final season is coming this fall. Its interior has never been used in the shows.

Franklin’s statement said he was banned from filming the house after the first shoot in 1987, but his ownership “allowed production on ‘Fuller House’ to capture new footage used in the main titles and featured in season three’s episode ‘Fullers in a Fog.’”

Franklin bought the Pacific Heights home in August 2016 for $4 million from decorator Courtnay Daniels Haden. She bought the place in 2006 for $1.85 million, according to property records, and transformed it inside and out.

Shortly after he bought it, Franklin redid the exterior to match its “Full House” days, down to the distinctive red doors. He planned to remodel the interior and was issued a building permit in 2017, but neighbors appealed it because the Planning Department hadn’t notified them in advance as required.

After Franklin began using the home to publicize the Netflix series, a trickle of selfie-taking tourists turned into hundreds per day, said Carla Hashagen, who lives two doors down and filed an appeal.

Franklin talked about shooting new footage at the house and perhaps renting it out to the public. In December 2016, Franklin filmed a publicity event at the home featuring 14 members of the “Fuller House” cast.

At a discretionary review hearing in December 2017, neighbors said Franklin was planning to make the interior resemble the fictional Tanner family home, and feared that would draw even more fans or be used for more promotional purposes.

The San Francisco Board of Appeals revoked the permit because of the lack of notification.

“He could have applied for the same work again. Instead he submitted new plans that didn’t mimic the set,” Hashagen said. “We didn’t object. He got the permit and they have been working on the house since July or August.”

The home is covered in netting, which obscures the facade, and that has cut down on traffic in the neighborhood, she added. The San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency’s board also banned tourist buses from that stretch of Broderick in July.

When Franklin purchased the house, it still had its original foundation from the 1800s. He did a seismic retrofit, upgraded the infrastructure and opened up the floor plan.

Hashagen said that for a few months Franklin has been telling neighbors he planned to sell the home, which he never lived in.

In February 2018, Warner Brothers TV removed Franklin as the “Fuller House” show runner and declined to renew its production deal with him. It did not give a reason, but a story in Variety quoting anonymous sources said the studio had received complaints about Franklin’s behavior in the writers’ room and on the set. Franklin had no comment on his removal.

“Fuller House” was in the news again after one its stars, Lori Loughlin, was indicted this month for allegedly taking part in a bribery scheme to get her daughter into the University of Southern California.

The Broderick home will be listed by Rachel Swann of The Agency and Cindy Ambuehl of Compass.
