‘Mrs. Doubtfire’ Home Dusts the Competition in This Week’s Most Popular Listings

Much like the “Full House” house before it, the San Francisco home featured in the ’90s movie “Mrs. Doubtfire” caused nostalgic house lovers to click. When we tallied up the totals of this week’s most popular homes on realtor.com®, the stately Victorian raised the biggest buzz.

And while we’re more partial to Mrs. Featherbottom from “Arrested Development,” the charms of the gorgeous four-bedroom home in the city’s Pacific Heights neighborhood are impossible to deny. The $4.45 million price tag puts the iconic home out of reach for all but the most wealthy cinephiles.

Right on the heels of movie magic was yet another runner-up appearance for the country’s largest fixer-upper in Texas. Might a sale of the 60,000-square-foot unfinished mansion be on the way? We’ll keep an eye out for any movement.

You also clicked on a Mid-Century Modern bargain in Indiana, a decorator’s dream in Texas, and a Minnesota home on a prestigious golf course that received a boost from the recent Ryder Cup.

Let’s tee off and take a tour of this week’s most popular homes.

10. 5350 Brewster Rd, Rochester Hills, MI

Price: $6,950,000
Why it’s here: We’re not exactly sure why this Michigan mansion was so darn popular this week. Perhaps the population of buyers in search of a 12,000-square-foot French Country manor in the Detroit metro area is larger than we anticipated.

9. 130 Inwood Dr, Evansville, IN

Price: $189,900
Why it’s here: Mid-Century Modern bargain hunters, rejoice! This Frank Lloyd Wright–inspired classic from 1955 is big (over 3,000 square feet) and cheap (only $63 per square foot). The three-bedroom home has been fully remodeled, and we’re in love with the home’s angular profile.

8. 6382 Cook Rd, Swartz Creek, MI

Price: $499,999
Why it’s here: Agent Todd Warda believes it’s the combination of a true log cabin and an immense lot. And look out, wild turkeys! Sited on 52 acres, the three-bedroom log cabin is a “great recreational hunting property,” according to Warda.

7. 13301 Dover Rd, Reisterstown, MD

Price: $12,500,000
Why it’s here: It’s the home of Baseball Hall of Famer Cal Ripken Jr. Last week, it held our top spot; this week, it slipped six slots. The legendary Iron Man is aiming for a big score on his Maryland mansion, but he’s staying busy in the meantime covering the MLB playoffs for TBS.

6. 858 Oriole Ln, Chaska, MN

Price: $559,900
Why it’s here: It’s all about location and timing. Sitting alongside Holes 6 and 7 of the Hazeltine National Golf Club, this four-bedroom home attracted attention thanks to the Ryder Cup. Listing agent Nancy Raddohl said the home is the “best lot” on the course, and the “views of the golf course are incredible.” On the market since May, recent attention driven by the Ryder Cup means Raddohl has heard from a number of interested buyers.

5. Undisclosed address, Festus, MO

Price: $349,900
Why it’s here: The cave continues to captivate. We’re still not sure when a buyer will emerge for this underground lair, but it’ll likely remain among the most popular homes until it’s snapped up.

———

4. 150 Woodland Rd, Brookline, MA

Price: $90,000,000
Why it’s here: The majestic estate of Reebok founder Paul Fireman was last week’s most expensive new listing. The mansion is located just outside of Boston and is currently the priciest property in the state.

———

3. 315 Virginia Ave, Waxahachie, TX

Price: $299,000
Why it’s here: Listing agent Leslie Majors told us this totally pin-worthy home has been shared a bunch on social media. “It’s a total remodel on a historic home, and it’s going to be featured in an upcoming issue of Better Homes and Gardens magazine,” Majors said. Currently owned by a decorator, some of the home’s distinctive decor can be negotiated into the final sale.

2. 2354 County Road 59, Manvel, TX

Price: $3,600,000
Why it’s here: The country’s biggest fixer-upper remains a subject of keen interest. If a buyer doesn’t step up to rescue this immense 60,000-square-foot structure, the owner plans to convert it into office space.

———

1. 2640 Steiner St, San Francisco, CA

Price: $4,450,000
Why it’s here: It’s the house from “Mrs. Doubtfire” (fans left flowers at the home after the death of Robin Williams, the film’s star). While the charms of this now-sorta-kinda classic bit of ’90s cinematic cheese are lost on us, the charms of this stately Victorian are abundant. Featuring three levels of living space and four bedrooms, the home will need a buyer with a feather duster.
