It's got one heck of a famous front door.

Now, that front facade-memorably featured on the ABC sitcom "Full House" and the Netflix (NFLX) sequel "Fuller House"-can be yours for $6.5 million. And yes, the rest of the well-appointed home, built in 1900, is also part of the deal.

This TV-famous abode in San Francisco is no stranger to the real estate market; it even topped the Realtor.com most popular homes list in 2016.

Fans of the show should know the iconic facade is the only element of the home featured on the show. It's become a tourist attraction, with a steady stream of looky-loos snapping photos of the home's stately exterior. However, interiors were filmed on a soundstage, so this home's interior looks nothing like the distinctive Tanner abode.

The house was previously owned by show creator and executive producer Jeff Franklin, who picked up the place for $4 million in 2016, with plans to capitalize on its fame. He intended to revamp the home in a full "Full House"-style renovation that would've rendered the interior and exterior reminiscent of the oh, so familiar TV dwelling

However, when Franklin's new Pacific Heights neighbors got wind of the proposal, they raised a ruckus. So, he turned to Plan B: a beautiful and classic home makeover. With the ritzy reboot complete, he priced the home at $5.9 million and sold it for $5.3 million.

Four years later, the updated residence, which received a head-to-toe refresh in 2019 by architect Richard Landry and the Landry Design Group, is once again ready for its close-up.

The 3,737-square-foot house offers four bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and some fun show memorabilia in the backyard garden.

"The opulent residence has been renovated with modern luxury finishes, yet it has retained the charm and integrity of the home's more-than-century-old pedigree," says Rachel Swann, of The Swann Group, Coldwell Banker Realty. She adds that because of the home's pop culture status, "showings are available by appointment only to prequalified buyers."

And what a sight it is: The luxurious, light-filled spaces abound with high ceilings, crown moldings, and large bay windows.

The main living area has an open floor plan with a formal living room with a fireplace, an updated gourmet kitchen with custom cabinetry, a wine fridge, Viking appliances, a pantry, and dining area. Upstairs, the primary bedroom boasts an en suite bathroom, a gas fireplace, window alcove, and walk-in closet. Two more bedrooms are situated on the second level, too.

The lower level includes modern (and almost unheard-of) conveniences for the city: a two-car garage with a small fitness room, a den with a wet bar, a laundry room, storage, a fourth/guest bedroom, walk-in closet, and a full bathroom.

From that level, there's easy to access the private backyard, complete with a mini-English garden. And true "Full House" fans will appreciate the handprints of the show's cast in concrete (including Bob Saget and John Stamos) can be part of the sale.

Have mercy, indeed!
