The San Francisco house used as the setting for the 1993 film Mrs Doubtfire has sold for $4.15m (£3.3m).

The four-bedroom building was built in 1893 in the Pacific Heights neighbourhood and was initially listed in September for $4.45m, according to the San Francisco Chronicle.

The buyer was not identified.

The home's last owner was a plastic surgeon who bought it for about $1.4m in 1997.

He was known to be very happy for tourists to visit the house but he now intends to retire elsewhere.

A disgruntled former patient set two small fires on the property last year but they caused only minor damage.

Mrs Doubtfire starred Robin Williams as a father who dresses up as an elderly lady in order to get a job looking after his children after he and his wife divorce.

After Williams' suicide in 2014, the house became a shrine to the actor, with flowers placed at the doorstep.
