A Los Angeles-area mansion that was built by actor John Stamos hit the market last week for nearly $13 million.
Located in the hills of Calabasas, Stamos built the Mediterranean-style home in 1992 after buying the 6-acre property in 1991 for $430,000, records on PropertyShark show. He owned the home for about a decade, selling it in 2001 for $2.15 million.
The current owners, Justin and Candace Aguilera, bought the home in early 2020 for $2.95 million, records show. Though the home’s interior was dated at the time, Justin Aguilera said they were attracted by “the bones of the house.”
“We thought, ‘This could be amazing,’ but the whole house hadn’t been touched since the early ’90s,” he said.
Over about two years, the Aguileras entirely remodeled both the home and its grounds. Inside, book-matched Panda marble flooring—white marble with black patterns—is heavily featured throughout the house. They also added an elaborate crystal chandelier that’s about 15 feet in size and a two-sided fireplace to the formal living room, which is just beyond the entrance.
The 8,100-square-foot home has six bedrooms and six bathrooms, including an approximately 2,500-square-foot primary suite, which Aguilera said is one of his favorite spaces in the house. The primary bedroom has high vaulted ceilings, and the suite also includes a sitting area with a fireplace, a wet bar, a bathroom with dramatic black marble and a “glam room” with a salon-style setup for doing hair and makeup.
As the home was designed for entertaining, there are bars both inside and outside, with the indoor bar room featuring marble flooring, black coffered ceilings and seating for at least six.
The Aguileras also completed renovation work outside. They replastered the pool—which also has a hot tub and a grotto—added 350 landscape lights and redid about 5,000 square feet of patio space with travertine.
In addition to aesthetic upgrades, the Aguileras also made sure to fireproof the property.
“On the hill, on the hardscape, we added a sprinkler system, so we don’t have to worry about a fire,” Aguilera said.
Sitting up on a hill, the home overlooks the Malibu Canyon, and the Aguileras put in large gridless windows throughout the home so as to not break up the view.
“In the morning, since we’re so high on the hill, when the clouds come in from the coast, they always sit below you,” Aguilera said. “So you’re looking at a blanket of fog—it looks like a waterfall.”
The property’s acreage provides room for the next owners to expand, including with the option to add a helipad, according to Compass, which is marketing the property. Alessandro Corona holds the listing.
Also this week, the San Francisco townhome that was featured in “Full House”—in which Stamos starred as Uncle Jesse— sold for $6 million . The home had previously been renovated by the “Full House” creator , Jeff Franklin, who is now selling his Beverly Hills megamansion.

Buyer demand, seller confidence and the First Home Guarantee Scheme are setting up a frantic spring, with activity likely to run through Christmas.
The spring property market is shaping up as the most active in recent memory, according to property experts Two Red Shoes.
Mortgage brokers Rebecca Jarrett-Dalton and Brett Sutton point to a potent mix of pent-up buyer demand, robust seller confidence and the First Home Guarantee Scheme as catalysts for a sustained run.
“We’re seeing an unprecedented level of activity, with high auction numbers already a clear indicator of the market’s trajectory,” said Sutton. “Last week, Sydney saw its second-highest number of auctions for the year. This kind of volume, even before the new First Home Guarantee Scheme (FHGS) changes take effect, signals a powerful market run.”
Rebecca Jarrett-Dalton added a note of caution. “While inquiries are at an all-time high, the big question is whether we will have enough stock to meet this demand. The market is incredibly hot, and this could lead to a highly competitive environment for buyers, with many homes selling for hundreds of thousands above their reserve.”
“With listings not keeping pace with buyer demand, buyers are needing to compromise faster and bid harder.”
Two Red Shoes identifies several spring trends. The First Home Guarantee Scheme is expected to unlock a wave of first-time buyers by enabling eligible purchasers to enter with deposits as low as 5 per cent. The firm notes this supports entry and reduces rent leakage, but it is a demand-side fix that risks pushing prices higher around the relevant caps.
Buyer behaviour is shifting toward flexibility. With competition intense, purchasers are prioritising what they can afford over ideal suburb or land size. Two Red Shoes expects the common first-home target price to rise to between $1 and $1.2 million over the next six months.
Affordable corridors are drawing attention. The team highlights Hawkesbury, Claremont Meadows and growth areas such as Austral, with Glenbrook in the Lower Blue Mountains posting standout results. Preliminary Sydney auction clearance rates are holding above 70 per cent despite increased listings, underscoring the depth of demand.
The heat is not without friction. Reports of gazumping have risen, including instances where contract statements were withheld while agents continued to receive offers, reflecting the pressure on buyers in fast-moving campaigns.
Rates are steady, yet some banks are quietly trimming variable and fixed products. Many borrowers are maintaining higher repayments to accelerate principal reduction. “We’re also seeing a strong trend in rent-vesting, where owner-occupiers are investing in a property with the eventual goal of moving into it,” said Jarrett-Dalton.
“This is a smart strategy for safeguarding one’s future in this competitive market, where all signs point to an exceptionally busy and action-packed season.”
Two Red Shoes expects momentum to carry through the holiday period and into the new year, with competition remaining elevated while stock lags demand.
