New House for the ‘Full House’ Girls
Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, the twins who star in the new ABC comedy series “Two of a Kind” and played a single character on the long-running family sitcom “Full House,” have moved with their family to their new home in a gated community in the west San Fernando Valley. Their former home, in Sherman Oaks, has been sold for about $1.6 million.
The twins, 12, started playing Michelle on “Full House” when they were 9 months old. The show ended in 1995.
Since then, their parents, David and Jarnette Olsen, saw to it that the twins had their own production company, and the sisters have made 22 home videos and a number of books, children’s pop albums and TV movies as well as the ’96 feature film “It Takes Two.”
The buyers of their former home are Howard Adler, a writer and executive producer as well as co-creator of the twins’ new series, and his wife, Carolyn, also a comedy writer.
The Sherman Oaks home has five bedrooms in 4,800 square feet. The ranch-style house was built in 1940. The Olsens lived there about five years.
Arthur Carlin of Coldwell Banker-Jon Douglas Co., Studio City, represented the buyers, and Joan Duffy of Fred Sands Realtors, Sherman Oaks, had the listing.

Beck, the Grammy-winning pop star who released the folk-country CD “Mutations” in November, has purchased a two-bedroom house in a Santa Monica canyon area for $495,000.
The house, which has two bedrooms in just under 1,000 square feet, was built in the 1920s but was recently refurbished.
In May, Beck, 28, bought a 5,200-square-foot house, built in the 1950s, on an acre in Pasadena for about $1.3 million.
The hot Pasadena summer prompted him and his girlfriend, fashion stylist Leigh Limon, to search for a house at the beach. Before he bought in Pasadena, he had been living in a Los Feliz apartment, not far from where he was raised.
The singer-songwriter, whose song “Loser” became a Generation X antianthem four years ago, is known for varying his musical styles, from cutting-edge hip-hop to 1930s blues.
