Jeff Franklin’s Luxurious Beverly Hills Estate Now Priced at Nearly $50 Million
Significant Price Reduction
Jeff Franklin, the creator of the iconic sitcom Full House, has re-listed his opulent Beverly Hills estate with a substantial price cut. The property, initially introduced to the market in 2022 for $85 million, is now available for just under $50 million, marking an impressive 41.8% reduction in price.
Historical Significance
The mansion, known as Villa Andalusia, resides on a site famous for its historical background, having been the location of the infamous Manson murders in 1969. While the original structure was demolished in the 1990s, the property remains a point of intrigue, especially with the recent Netflix documentary Chaos: The Manson Murders released earlier this month.
About Villa Andalusia
Spanning over 21,000 square feet and situated on more than 3.5 acres at the end of Cielo Drive in Benedict Canyon, this majestic estate is designed by renowned architect Richard Landry, who is noted for his works with high-profile clients such as Dr. Dre and the Kardashians.
The residence features:
- Nine bedrooms
- 18 bathrooms
- A resort-style backyard complete with waterfalls, a koi pond, and a lazy river
- A 35-foot water slide leading to a hidden grotto
Unmatched Amenities
Landry described the estate’s pool area as “one of the most exciting pools we have ever designed,” highlighting its beach entry, steam cave, and a swim-up bar that culminates at an infinity edge with spectacular views of the city.
Luxurious Interior Features
Inside, the grandeur continues with a soaring 40-foot foyer featuring a grand fountain. The estate includes:
- An extravagant living room with a massive indoor shark tank
- A gourmet kitchen equipped with a stone pizza oven and high-end appliances
- A primary suite with dual balconies and an opulent spa-like bathroom offering sweeping views
Entertainment and Additional Facilities
This estate is ideal for entertaining, boasting a plush home theater, a game room, a wet bar, and even a hair salon. For fitness enthusiasts, it includes a gym, along with a subterranean garage capable of accommodating 16 cars. The agent representing the property stated, “There is simply nothing quite like this on the market.”
A Brief Background on Franklin’s Ownership
Franklin acquired the property in an unfinished state over 25 years ago for approximately $6 million, investing years in its completion and refinement. Currently based in Miami, he has also offered it as a fully furnished rental at a rate of $250,000 per month.
