The Full House Reunion: What You Didn’t Know About the Townhouse
Everywhere you look, everywhere you go, there’s another ’90s TV reboot. On February 26, almost the entire cast of Full House is set to return for a Netflix series, Fuller House. And it just may be the most aptly named sequel ever. After all, the San Francisco townhouse the Tanners call home once had nine people living under one roof: D.J., Stephanie, Michelle, Danny, Joey, Uncle Jesse, Becky, Nicky, and Alex, not to mention golden retriever Comet. While the Olsen twins passed on the reunion (sorry, Michelle fans!), it was the littlest Tanner who poked fun at the implausibility of the inhabitant-to-interior ratio in the Full House finale. “You all live here?” she says, having suffered a stint of temporary memory loss. “I hope the inside is a lot bigger than it looks on the outside!”

And let’s not forget the love nest upstairs. Exterior shots depict a flat roof, yet Jesse and Becky’s attic-transformed-apartment boasts high ceilings and a scattering of skylights separated by exposed wooden beams. To be fair, Jesse and Becky’s decision to move in was a bit more thought-out. “You know, it’s cozy and private,” Becky rationalizes. “Fully insulated with complete plumbing hookups for a full bathroom. Ideal for a young newlywed couple saving to buy their first home.”
Fans, too, will feel right at home when they tune in to Fuller House tomorrow. For the reboot, production designer Jerry Dunn watched more than 100 hours of the original in order to accurately capture the San Francisco set, and even included some of the same furniture. The checkered love seat and pair of blue bucket chairs in the living room have been in storage since the show went off the air in 1995, but they were in good enough condition that Dunn dusted them off for the much-hyped-about sequel.
In celebration of the ’90s sitcom and 30-year-old furniture alike, we decided to embark on a mini marathon to capture the Full House set by the numbers. Separating fact from fiction, consider it a Tanner family heart-to-heart (minus the twinkly music) on the beloved series’ iconic San Francisco home.
