Lori & hub sell manse for $10M below list

They sold the full house for nearly half price.

Actress Lori Loughlin and husband Mossimo Giannulli have sold their California mansion for an estimated $10 million below the amount for which they originally listed it in January, according to a report.

The former “Full House” star, 55, and her fashion-designer hubby, 56, are expected to be sentenced next month after admitting to conspiracy in the sweeping college-admissions scandal.

In January, the embattled couple put their Bel Air home up for sale at an asking price of $28.65 million, and it has finally sold to Tinder co-founder Justin Mateen, Variety reported.

While the official sale price hasn’t yet been listed, a source told the outlet it was offloaded for roughly

$18 million.

The couple paid $14 million for the property in 2015 before investing in a total overhaul of the 12,000square-foot villa, the report said.

The plush, golf-course-adjacent home includes seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a swimming pool, a gourmet kitchen with profession­al-quality appliances and a gym.

Loughlin and Giannulli — who have also quit their country club in the wake of confessing their guilt — are now believed to be staying at a beachfront Ocean County home, a source told People magazine.

The couple admitted paying $500,000 in bribes to convicted college fixer William “Rick” Singer, who got their daughters, Olivia Jade Giannulli and Isabella Rose Giannulli, into the University of Southern California as bogus crew recruits.

As part of the scam, prosecutor­s say the parents provided photos of the girls on rowing machines for their athlete profiles.

Neither had ever rowed competitiv­ely.

As part of her May 22 plea deal, Loughlin agreed to serve two months in jail, pay a $150,000 fine and perform 100 hours of community service.

Giannulli has agreed to serve five months behind bars, pay a $250,000 fine and do 250 hours of community service.

The deals still have to be approved by a judge at the couple’s Aug. 21 sentencing.
