Watching Mrs. Doubtfire when you were younger, you may have had a passing thought that the Hillard home was nice. But, as an adult, the gravitas of a mortgage payment a home like that must entail hits you like a ton of bricks once you've been in the "real world" a while.
Plugging the address given in the film — 2640 Steiner Street in San Francisco — into Zillow reveals that the home is a four bedroom, four bathroom house totaling a spacious 3,300 square feet. In 2016, it sold for an impressive $4,150,000. Hotpads puts that monthly mortgage at $4,850 per month. As of 2018, Zillow valued it at almost $5 million.
Thinking of abandoning your current profession for a career in interior design just like Miranda Hillard? Don't hand in your two weeks notice just yet. According to GlassDoor, interior designers in the San Francisco area make an average of $67,000 per year to around $90,000 on the high end.
If Miranda made the average, she probably wouldn't have brought enough home after taxes to cover the mortgage. She also pays Mrs. Doubtfire $1,200 per month and drives a luxury car. Suffice to say that living such a comfortable lifestyle likely means she exceeds even the high estimate for interior designer salaries in San Francisco.
