The iconic “Brady Bunch” house, which gained fame as the backdrop for the beloved TV series, is now up for sale just five years after HGTV acquired and meticulously restored it to its original 1970s charm.
Originally airing on ABC from September 26, 1969, to 1974, “The Brady Bunch” was the brainchild of producer Sherwood Schwartz. The show spanned 117 episodes and left a lasting legacy with numerous spin-offs, specials, and films that followed.
The series featured Robert Reed and Florence Henderson as Mike and Carol Brady—parents to a blended family consisting of three daughters (Marcia, Jan, Cindy) from Carol’s side and three sons (Greg, Peter, Bobby) from Mike’s. Ann B. Davis also starred as Alice Nelson—the family’s beloved housekeeper.
After purchasing the midcentury home that served as the exterior shot for the show’s iconic residence in Studio City, California—HGTV embarked on an ambitious renovation project. They transformed both its interior and exterior to mirror what fans saw on screen during those years when it became a cultural touchstone.
Under Warner Bros. Discovery’s ownership umbrella at HGTV—the network went above and beyond by adding an entire second story designed to replicate key rooms like the living room & bedrooms seen in episodes filmed at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles.
In fact—in 2019—HGTV showcased this extensive renovation process through their special program titled A Very Brady Renovation. The show garnered impressive ratings with around 28 million viewers tuning in over four weeks according to reports by Daily Mail UK.
As per The Hollywood Reporter—HGTV invested $1.9 million into revamping this property—including restoring signature elements such as its floating staircase & retro kitchen while expanding it by an additional 2k square feet overall space-wise!
Located at Dilling Street #11222—the home has since been featured across various specials including appearances on reality shows like Trixie Motel available via Discovery+ streaming service platform too!
With plans underway now towards selling off this piece of television history—a portion of proceeds will go towards supporting Turn Up: Fight Hunger initiative—a partnership between No Kid Hungry nonprofit organization alongside Discovery Networks aimed at combating child hunger across America today!
When initially purchased back then—it cost them $3½ million dollars which was double what sellers originally asked during bidding wars within LA’s competitive real estate market scene—but given how much work went into upgrading everything since then—it comes as no surprise why current asking price stands tall today around $5½ million dollars instead!
For prospective buyers interested—they’ll find themselves stepping onto those famous stairs or lounging inside cool attic spaces while cooking meals atop vibrant orange Formica countertops before retiring comfortably within pink twin-sized beds—all surrounded by carefully curated furnishings/decorations reminiscent straight outta ‘70s era nostalgia vibes galore here indeed!
Listing agent Danny Brown emphasized how every detail was painstakingly recreated down even smallest aspects ensuring authenticity throughout entire property reflecting true essence behind Mid-century Modern design aesthetic synonymous forevermore thanks largely due influence exerted via original set designs used during filming days gone past!
