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.

A former Paul Bangay estate in the Macedon Ranges blends heritage charm, sculpted gardens and pavilion living across 108 hectares.
2 min
Seemingly borrowed from a scene in Bridgerton, or plucked from the pages of a Brontë novel, St Ambrose in the picturesque Macedon Ranges of Victoria is a masterclass in English-inspired charm.
It’s no surprise, then, that the expansive 108ha estate, whose grounds are known as The Enchanted Garden, is the former home of celebrated landscaper Paul Bangay.
St Ambrose is a property with a genuine narrative. The story begins in the 1880s, when the original bones of the modernised homestead were just a humble schoolhouse.
Just over a century later, Bangay bought the country compound and spent a decade transforming it into a magical escape showcased in his iconic book, The Enchanted Garden.
Arranged as a sequence of “rooms”, the grounds are connected by sculptured hedges and framed planting that has been handpicked to connect with the surrounding Macedon landscape.
Now the estate is back on the market via an expressions-of-interest campaign with Campbell Kilsby and Tony Ryan of Kay & Burton Bayside, who are seeking offers between $8 million and $8.8 million. According to title records, it last traded in 2023 for $8 million.
A line of perfectly placed pencil pines frames a structured forecourt, anchored by a central, calming water feature.
Beyond the landmark gardens, the residence has also been revived, crafted into a series of connected pavilions balancing old and new. The former schoolhouse is still part of the story, now integrated into the main living zones.
Inside, the house features epic proportions with high ceilings, big fireplaces, spacious rooms, and expansive glazing that captures the romance of the outdoors from every angle.
The central country kitchen has stone surfaces, an island bench, shaker cabinetry, and French doors to the patio.
There are four bedrooms, including a main suite with a quiet garden outlook, while additional bedrooms are positioned for privacy. At the far end of the vast floor plan, there is also a fully self-contained one-bedroom guest residence for extended family or visitors.
Two separate garages have raked western red cedar ceilings, polished concrete floors, and custom timber doors that open the space up for entertaining in the stately setting. Ordinarily, the garage can accommodate more than five vehicles.
In addition to the heritage-style gardens, the grounds feature a newly rebuilt 20m wet-edge pool with an integrated spa, as well as an upgraded reflection pond complete with new filtration and lighting.
Other recent behind-the-scenes renovations include hydronic heating, air conditioning, irrigation, and water storage.
St Ambrose is close to Woodend Station and is approximately 70kms from Melbourne’s CBD.
St Ambrose at 7 Wood St, Woodend, Victoria, is listed through an expressions-of-interest campaign with Kay & Burton Bayside. Offers close on May 27 at 5 pm, and the price guide is $8 million to $8.8 million.
