Jeff Franklin created the beloved TV show “Full House” and reaped some serious rewards. For further proof, you need only take a look at his $85 million estate in Beverly Hills, CA.
You won’t be alone in checking out the home known as the “Cielo Estate.” Fans of the show and real estate gawkers made the massive mansion this week’s most popular home on Realtor.com®.
Aside from that popular palace, you also clicked on a number of humbler homes. There’s one in New Jersey listed for just $156,000, which needs new owners to come in and rip out the teal carpet, as well as a custom home in North Carolina covered in loud colors that’s in need of a new vision.
If you’d rather not put in any work on your next home, there are a few adorable choices on our list as well—including a storybook home in Virginia.
