Here’s the story of a man named Brady, whose iconic Studio City home as seen in “The Brady Bunch” has hit the market for $5.5 million.
The 5,100-square-foot dwelling made famous by the TV show about a blended family in the 1970s has been listed at 11222 Dilling Street, the Los Angeles Daily News reported. The seller is HGTV, a unit of Warner Bros.
The five-bedroom, five-bathroom home, built in 1959 has been “meticulously rebuilt and designed to replicate the set of the home from the beloved 1970s sitcom,” according to the listing.
There’s no mistaking the floating staircase, burnt orange-and-avocado green kitchen and Jack-n-Jill bathroom between the kids’ bedrooms.
A swing set, teeter-totter and Tiger’s dog house dominate the backyard.
The home’s contents are included in the sale, according to the Daily News.
Danny Brown of Compass has the listing. Part of the proceeds from the sale of the home will go to “Turn Up! Fight Hunger,” a partnership between Warner Bros. Discovery and No Kid Hungry to end childhood hunger in the U.S.
It was in July 2018 when the celebrity house came up for sale for the first time in nearly a half-century and sparked a bidding war that involved singer Lance Bass of ‘Nsync fame, but which HGTV won. The network paid $3.5 million, 86 percent more than its $1.9 million asking price.
At that time, Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav, who oversees HGTV, announced plans to “restore the Brady Bunch home to its 1970s glory.”
As part of the renovation, HGTV sank $1.9 million and added 2,000 square feet to the home, which fed Bradymania.
More than 28 million viewers tuned into “A Very Brady Renovation” to watch actors who played the six Brady kids reunite and turn the home into a replica of the original TV set. They returned to the renovated house for a holiday special.
“We did everything we dreamed of doing with the house and delighted a lot of Brady Bunch fans in the process, but it’s time for us to let it be loved and enjoyed by someone else,” a statement attributed to HGTV read.
