Full House Creator Jeff Franklin Lists Beverly Hills Mansion for $45M
Jeff Franklin, the creator of the iconic sitcom "Full House," has put his luxurious Beverly Hills mansion back on the market. This time, the asking price is $45 million, slightly lower than last year's nearly $50 million.
The 21,000-square-foot estate has been listed multiple times over the years. According to real estate sources, every time Franklin tries to sell, he receives calls from people who want to rent rather than buy. Perhaps it's the property's unique history: in 1969, members of the Manson Family murdered actress Sharon Tate and her friends at this location.
The original house where the tragedy occurred was demolished in 1994, and a modern mansion was built in its place, now owned by Franklin. Despite the dark past, the current home is a paradise: 9 bedrooms, 18 bathrooms, a 75-yard pool with waterfalls, a movie theater, a billiards room, a hair salon, and a gym.
Car enthusiasts will appreciate the 16-car garage, and the windows offer stunning views of Los Angeles. Such a combination of amenities and luxury should attract buyers, but so far, no one has made an offer.
Sharon Tate is one of the most famous victims of Manson, and her death still captivates true crime enthusiasts. This history casts a shadow over the property's reputation. However, Franklin, who bought the land after the original house was demolished, hopes the new owner will appreciate the home for what it is now.
Listing agents Bennett Bidwell and Adam Rosenfeld of Resident Group are confident that a buyer will eventually come forward. Perhaps the price reduction will do the trick, and the mansion will finally find a new owner.
For "Full House" fans, this news is another reason to remember the show's creator, who gave us stories about family values and friendship. For real estate enthusiasts, it's a chance to see what a $45 million dream home looks like.
