Inside the newly-renovated 'Brady Bunch' house, made to look exactly like the set

The home is more than 5,000 square feet and sits on a 12,000-square-foot lot with citrus trees. The "Brady Bunch" house, one of the most recognizable homes in TV history, is officially off the market. The Brady Bunch first aired on September 26, 1969, and ran until March 8, 1974.

The same episode also featured the construction of the Brady's signature avocado green-and-orange kitchen. Restored by the Fords stars, Leanne and Steve Ford, took the lead and worked alongside Plumb. The actress picked out the green paint for the kitchen table's tulip-style chairs and chose a matte orange laminate from a curated selection. The kitchen toaster, the huge stuffed giraffe in the girls’ bedroom, a miniature bust figurine on Mr. and Mrs. Brady’s headboard, and even a set of oversized plastic orange grapes were displayed neatly on the living room coffee table. With exactly eight chairs at the dining room table (sorry, Alice!), the Brady's dining set on "The Brady Bunch" coordinated with the kitchen and was the focal point of many family discussions worked into the various episode plots.

All of the action that takes place inside the house and in the garden was recorded on stage five at Paramount Studios in Hollywood. It was built in 1959 and shot to fame exactly a decade later when The Brady Bunch aired the first of its 117 episodes on ABC on September 26th, 1969. Trahan told "The Wall Street Journal" she plans on hosting charitable events and fundraisers at her new home, which she described as "a life-size dollhouse." "It was strange being the 2nd floor because our bedroom was really on the other side on the ground floor of the set," said Mike Lookinland, who played Bobby Brady. This was important to her because "Alice was sort of a selfless character in the show, we saw some of her life, but it’s really nice to think we could pamper Alice a little bit," Plumb told "GMA."

Iconic ‘Brady Bunch’ house heads to market after major renovations from HGTV.

The 'Brady Bunch' house just sold for $3.2 million. Here's what the buyer shared

Redfin shows similar-sized homes in the same zip code ranging from $2.2 million to $7.8 million, so if a completely updated, state-of-the-art look combined with '70s design are what you’re into, the price isn’t too bad. Although the show had tame plot lines, its eye-catching interior hues were definitely not tame. The Brady house had everything from avocado wood paneling to green baseboards, reported Hooked On Houses.

"As part of the massive renovation, HGTV invested $1.9 million and added 2,000 square feet to the property's original footprint, including a full second story," the network said in a statement about the house being put up for sale. "Standout features in the completed home include the iconic floating staircase, the burnt orange-and-avocado green kitchen, the kids' Jack-n-Jill bathroom and a backyard with a swing set, teeter totter and Tiger's dog house." Located at Dilling Street in North Hollywood, the house was used on the classic show mainly for exterior shots. In 2018, HGTV bought the 2,500-square foot ranch house for $3.5 million—double the original listing price. Another $2 million was spent on the remodeling project, which was documented in the four-part series A Very Brady Renovation. Now a 5,500-square-foot McMansion with five bedrooms and bathrooms, the original front facade was maintained to appease nostalgic fans.

As for the rest of the space, amazingly, the team didn’t have any of the original plans so had to design the interiors from images and video of the set. Firstly, I can’t stress enough the painstaking detail that went into bringing the original Brady Bunch house back to life in just 307 days. Everything has been recreated down to the finest detail and I mean the absolute finest. However, though the exterior shot of the home is certainly one of the show’s most used and most recognizable, it’s the only one actually filmed here.

Aside from Trahan, other interested parties who had come to see the house included potential buyers who wanted to turn the property into a rental home. The single-family house, located in Los Angeles' Studio City neighborhood, dates back to 1959 and was rebuilt by the HGTV network. He said the team eventually came up with the home value by basing their estimate on the values of the land the property stood on and the structure of the house itself. According to Retro Renovations, these colors were introduced to appliances in the mid-1960s, when color was important for the fashionable. KitchenAid has created several updated and attractive avocado-toned appliances like this range from Best Buy. Bright orange appliances, amazingly enough, are available from Appliances Connection.

The home design network decided to turn the interior into a spitting image of the show’s set, enlisting several stars like Drew and Jonathan Scott to assist in the renovation. The home transformed on HGTV’s A Very Brady Renovation hit the market in May 2023 for a listing price of $5.5 million! The house, which was purchased by Tina Trahan for $3.2 million in September 2023, was designed to look like an exact replica of The Brady Bunch set. Photos of the North Hollywood, California, property will bring nostalgia to loyal fans of the ABC sitcom.

In 2019, standing outside Dilling St where a staggering renovation of The Brady Bunch house was now complete, Los Angeles mayor Eric Garcetti officially recognized May 23rd as ‘Brady Bunch day’. A man named Brady might have been busy with three boys of his own but he still managed to carve out enough time to build the dream ’70s family home. Before HGTV bought the home in 2018, NSYNC singer Lance Bass reportedly bid on the famous house and thought he had initially won the bid. "HGTV spent about $5.5M+ purchasing and building the house which is why we listed it at $5.5M even though we knew it was an aspirational list price," Brown said in a statement. "HGTV did very well with 'The Very Brady Renovation' show and several other shows and ancillary revenue streams." They even outsourced through fans to find rare items that were on display in the house.

Greg also had velour pillows in his crib, but you can upgrade your room with the far-out cushions from Society6. When the property hit the market in 2018, it was for the first time in 45 years — having not changed hands since 1973. The original asking price was $1.85 million and some speculated that it might be knocked down and redeveloped.

“This whole show is filled with so much love,” Maureen McCormick, who played Marcia, told TODAY in 2019. This entertainment space looks identical to the one fans saw on TV for five seasons. The HGTV stars nailed every detail of replicating the iconic Brady home entrance. The name of the fictional street where the action of The Brady Bunch TV show took place was Clinton Way. Mr. Brady and his three sons lived at 4222 Clinton Way, but the name of the town/city was never specified on the show.
