The Brady Bunch house is the second most visited house in America (behind the White House), and now it has a new homeowner.
The house, whose exterior only was featured on the family sitcom, went on the market in 2018 and was bought by Discovery Networks. HGTV converted the famous home’s inside to look like it did on the beloved series.
However, after A Very Brady Renovation, the renovated home sat vacant. So earlier this summer, they put it back on the market for $5.5 million.
Today, The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that it was sold to Tina Trahan for $3.2 million, 42% below asking. The new homeowner plans on using the home for charity events and as a luxury rental.
I wish her luck because her new neighbors might try to stop her from doing so.
Which I hope they don’t. Because it is sincerely a magnificent experience to see it in person, I can still remember the first time my friend took me there, and I still get that magical feeling every time I go back. And since I live less than a mile away, I go to visit it all the time.
Before Eve Plumb hated school because she was Marsha, Marsha, Marsha’s younger sister on The Brady Bunch, she hated it because her sandwiches were stale because her mom didn’t use Glad sandwich bags. How scrumptious was the 9-year-old in that 1968 commercial?
Back in 2018, The Brady Bunch house went up for sale. Not only did HGTV buy it, but they also renovated it to make the inside look like it did on the beloved sitcom.
We got to witness their hard work in the HGTV show A Very Brady Renovation. And as someone who went inside that house after they were finished, it was a work of art! I cried. My friend cried. We were in our childhood dream house.
Now, nearly five years later, Discovery is selling it for $5.5 million, $2 million more than what they paid for it. So I have one question for y’all, do you have $5.5 million you could give me? I would let you stay at the house! I mean, it would be the least I could do for giving me the money!
I don’t have the cash. But if you do, then reach out to Danny Brown at Compass! He is the lucky realtor who gets to see the iconic house. Could you imagine getting that phone call?
I really hope a fan, like Lance Bass, buys it. And not someone who is going to tear it down, which is what they do in LA today.
If the latter is the case, I will chain myself to the house to make sure it doesn’t get demolished.
Did you ever watch Diff’rent Strokes and think this show is so much more risque than The Brady Bunch ever was? It was not.
What? Todd Bridges just revealed a secret about the show that made him famous. “A lot of our scripts were actually The Brady Bunch. We had the same executive producer,” he wrote. “When I would watch the Brady Bunch I would say wow that was the Different Strokes episode. Talk about recycling ideas.”
Now, I am off to rewatch both shows and see which episodes were recycled. We know the bicycle man episode was all Diff’rent Strokes.
OMG! Does that mean that Cindy Brady and Arnold Jackson are one in the same? And that Willis is Greg, Kimberly is Marcia, and Sam is cousin Oliver? Mind officially blown!
Yesterday was a rainy day in Studio City, but it was not enough to deter Danny Bonaduce from going for a walk outside. His tour without his Partridge Family siblings took him to the house of his rivals, The Brady Bunch. Sadly, they weren’t home. But if they were, I am sure they would’ve said to him to C’mon Get Happy with us because together, We Can Make the World a Whole Lot Brighter.
Too bad we never got a crossover episode between two shows. How groovy would it have been if Johnny Bravo opened up for The Partridge Family? Such a missed opportunity. Maybe we can get Danny to play the bass for The Brady Kids as Greg Brady sings I Think I Love You!
I am in ’70s kid’s heaven right now!
Were you Team Partridge or Team Brady? Because we all know you can only choose one family to adore.
