Originally purchased by John Stamos in 2005 as a raging bachelor pad, his home has grown with him and his family over the years, becoming a memory capsule of sorts filled with homely touches and nods to both of their histories.
Worth $5.8 million, Stamos enlisted the help of designer Chris Barrett, whom he met on the set of “Full House.” She knew him well so she was able to take her expertise and tailor the home’s design specifically to his wants and needs.
Take a dive into this malleable home that’s served Stamos through his bachelor years and onto fatherhood.

The main living area features a cathedral ceiling with exposed dark wood beams, a color reflected in the floorboards as well. This spacious room was also used as the focal point for Stamos’ wedding to now-wife Caitlin McHugh.
Stamos may be most well-known for his acting, but this jack of many trades also had a fairly successful musical career, occasionally performing with The Beach Boys — who once graced this room. The guest house has been turned into a 1970s-inspired jam room.
Channeling old Hollywood charm, the soft wooden touches continue through the main floor, both in the continued use of exposed beams and in the furnishings, like this long dining table.
In the kitchen, the dark cabinetry is offset by the lightly colored island in the center and a large skylight above the room that lets in tons of natural light.
Around back is a glimmering pool surrounded with tastefully placed flagstone that overlooks the Hollywood Hills. With so many memories and such beautiful bones to work with, it’s no surprise Stamos isn’t looking to leave his Californian paradise any time soon.
The master bedroom features decorative wooden slats reclaimed from a barn in Italy.
When Stamos and McHugh welcomed their first child, Billy, they knew this former bachelor pad needed some softening touches. Using Disney as inspiration, they toned down the harsher themes and added sophisticated childish accents, like this Mickey painting in the bathroom.
As soon as you walk up the stairs leading to the front door, the home seems modest. Disappearing behind a hill and blending into the landscape with ivy, it doesn’t outwardly seem ostentatious.
