For $30 Million, This Could Be Your 'Full House'

Jeff Franklin knows a thing or two about creating a “Full House.” But 1302 Collingwood Pl is currently empty.

The creator of the hit ’80s and ’90s sitcom worked with award-winning architect Richard Landry to build the new construction — listed today for $30 million — in what Franklin considers “a very special place.”

“It’s where ‘Full House’ was born and grew up,” he said.

Franklin explained he purchased a “rundown, dilapidated bachelor pad” on the property in 1988, a year after the show first aired. When the real estate market crashed, he decided to build something new instead of trying to sell something old.

“I thought, ‘Well, I want to build a home that the property deserves,'” he said. “It has the most incredible views from the San Bernardino Mountains to almost The Getty Center.”

When he wasn’t at the studio filming “Full House,” Franklin wrote episodes and hosted cast parties at the property. He envisions it serving a similar purpose for the future owner.

“I think it would attract somebody in the entertainment business,” he said. “People are going to love being at the house.”

The home has an underground parking garage big enough to hold 12 cars. It also affords privacy with no close neighbors, a gated entry and a secluded master shower.

“The shower walls disappear,” Franklin explained. “You’re basically taking a shower outside on top of Los Angeles. You can see the entire city, but they can’t see you unless you walk way over to the edge.”

The bedroom also features a fully retractable skylight over the bed with a motorized black-out shade. The bed and headboard are custom upholstered and padded with LED back-lighting to create the effect that it’s elevated and floating over the floor.

“I went a little overboard,” Franklin admits. “I keep thinking, ‘Should I move back here?'”

If he did, the timing would be right, as the creator is trying to revive the show.

“It’s been really challenging, but I’m still hopeful,” he said.
