"We needed a two-story house, so we had to figure out how to fit two stories without compromising that iconic roofline. The way to do that was to dig down. We sunk the living room further, and by doing that we were able to put the girls' and boys' rooms and the Jack-and-Jill bathroom upstairs at the top of the staircase. We also added a window to the front of the house - they had hung a fake window for establishing shots."
"HGTV last year paid $3.5 million (nearly twice the asking price) for the residence, used only for exterior shots on "The Brady Bunch." Interior scenes for the ABC series, which ran from 1969 to 1974, were all filmed in a studio. But now those retro rooms have been replicated within the home, turning the property into a groovy gallery of 1970s Americana."
HGTV acquired the exterior-only location from "The Brady Bunch" television series for $3.5 million and undertook a comprehensive renovation to recreate the show's iconic interior sets within the actual home. Eight HGTV stars and six surviving cast members collaborated to gut and reconstruct the residence, replicating 1970s decor with meticulous attention to detail, including cabinet hardware and room layouts. The two-bedroom split-level was expanded to accommodate the fictional family of eight by sinking the living room and adding a second story while preserving the original roofline. The transformation, documented in HGTV's "A Very Brady Renovation" premiering in September, converted the property into an authentic 1970s Americana gallery celebrating the beloved series that originally aired from 1969 to 1974.
