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.

Designed by the late Kerry Hill and built by Hutchinson Builders, The Residence at Hayman Island blends tropical modernism with absolute waterfront luxury.
2 minIs this Whitsunday’s best home?
Hayman Island may have been ravaged by Cyclone Debbie in 2017, which saw the island, one of the smallest of the major Whitsunday islands, all but shut down, but the 390-hectare paradise has made an extraordinary comeback.
The InterContinental brand took over the island’s only resort, which was completely devastated by the Category 4 cyclone. The same year the cyclone hit, The Residence at Hayman was built, one of just two private residences on the island.
Constructed by Hutchinson Builders, a Tier 1 builder better known for delivering some of South East Queensland’s finest multi-residential developments, the lavish home is made from reinforced concrete with a blend of glass and timber battening.
It was designed by the late, internationally renowned architect Kerry Hill, widely regarded as a key figure in refining tropical modernist architecture. Hill was an island specialist, having designed several major resorts in Bali.
The Residence at Hayman spans three levels and offers over 1,400 sqm of living space, including around 580 sqm of internal living areas. The remainder comprises breezeways, terraces, and balconies designed to embrace the island’s subtropical climate.
Entry to the home is via the upper level, as the property tiers down the site with direct access to the beach. The top and lower levels accommodate most of the home’s eight bedrooms, as well as a study and a double garage with buggy parking, the preferred mode of transport throughout the Whitsundays.
The middle level is home to the main kitchen, living, and dining areas, complete with a full butler’s pantry. It opens to a large, L-shaped terrace featuring an outdoor kitchen, alfresco dining and lounge zones, and a sundeck. The terrace flows to the basalt-clad infinity swimming pool, deck, and cabana with integrated seating, as well as a pool house.
Owners or guests of The Residence also have access to the InterContinental Hayman Island Resort facilities, including 24-hour room service, butler assistance, private chefs, and the resort’s wellness centre.
Whitefox agents Cheyne Fox and Nic Whitehead are marketing The Residence as “a rare and extraordinary find.”
“This is more than just a home, it’s an opportunity to own a piece of paradise, a legacy to share with family and friends for generations to come,” Fox said.
The only other private residence on Hayman Island, Hayman House, is also on the market. Commissioned by Terry Peabody, former billionaire and Transpacific Industries founder, Hayman House was first listed last year with hopes of $27 million, later reportedly reduced to $20 million in early 2025.
Designed by Kerry Hill and also built by Hutchies (in 2010), Hayman House shares a similar design ethos to The Residence, albeit on a smaller scale. Its 18-week construction endured three cyclones, with all site access via the beach, which had to be reinforced to prevent heavy vehicles from sinking into the sand.
