Your chance to own the Brady Bunch house:
 

It's for sale:

The Brady Bunch house is for sale. Its broker expects an 'avalanche' — of lookers, at least

That house is a lie or some weird intradimensional portal that will rip your soul from your flesh.

Ever notice the exterior shot, it's a Splanch with the high side on the left but inside, it's on the right.

It's the upside down I tell ya.

Maybe it's a house of mirrors...similar to the Hollywood mindset.

Exactly. It's 100% reversed on the TV show! (except the garage is on the left on the show also.)

You gotta wonder who would want to buy that house- what they're hoping to accomplish. I wonder what the market value of it would be without the history.

Based on the sq footage, age, and location, it's probably only $250K-$300K overpriced (not worth the novelty to me). Because of the lot sizes in the area, many of the original houses are torn down and have 7,500 sq ft $4MM MacMansions sitting on them. Comps are difficult. I just zillow'd the neighborhood. There are some similar listings for $1.3MM.

Exactly the same. If you read the article, it will probably wind up being a tear-down but they are trying to avoid it by marketing it this way. Houses are not like cars. "Steve McQueen lived here" does not alter the price. :)

*Typing at same time.*

Looks like they paid for a professional photographer.

Good move.

You gotta remember...This is LA. People are Hollywood crazy. Somebody will pay a premium to own the Brady Bunch house. Trust me. The house below me was marketed above the area comps because Wink Martindale lived there. Wink Martindale? Who the Fu@K cares.

EDIT! My wife just informed me...It wasn't Wink. It was Bob Eubanks. even worse.

That kind of nostalgia has a time limit. The generation that gave a crap about the Brady bunch is in its late sixties and are past the age of that sort of stupid.

I rode with Bob and his kids in the 60's at Fox Fields Riding School off Potrero before there was Westlake.

Actually was a pretty good guy.

Wink owes me money.

An overpriced house, people walking/ driving by constantly taking pictures, no thanks. Besides, it was only used for the establishing exterior shot on the pilot.

I did like on the BB movie where every building Mike (Gary Cole) designed looked like the house.

Doesn't look like much premium is priced into the house because of the Brady connection. An expensive neighborhood any way you cut it.

Hey now. I remember the bunch (reruns) and while I may feel and look like it I'm not in my 60's yet!

I think its pretty cool the Brady's had so many people in such a small place. The bunk beds must of had bunk beds.

Yeah, hey now, I'm offended too I'm not in my late fifties yet. I have a ways to go until I hit peak stupid.

brady bunch aside, I like the house. It could use a little interior updating but it had some charm. IM so jaded by our local real estate, where anything built before 2000 is an "old house".

I would love to live in the paramount studio lot version of the house. I think it has really neat open spaces. In particular, the fireplace that bisects the living room from Mike Brady's office and the way the bottom stair landing leads to both the office and living room. The office has a "sunken" feel even though the same floor level as the living room.

The yard/driveway/carport are also particularly appealing flat open spaces. It would have to be on a massive lot.

But this gaudy thing on Dilling street is not appealing to me in any way. I'd be curious who designed the Paramount lot set. Whoever it was could have had a far better career as an architect than whoever designed Dilling street - albeit Dilling street is a constrained by real life.

The only part of that house that had anything to do with the brady bunch was that exterior shot.
The entire show was filmed on the studio lot, even the patio and driveway scenes.
None of the show was filmed inside or at that house.

BTW my first house looked almost exactly like that one, tri-level 4 bd 2 ba in Corona.
Only thing wrong with it was it was in corona.

I ended up making a little money off it but sold it in less than a year, because it was in corona.

I hated that drive. to corona.

"Ok gentlemen, this next question is worth 100 points, and here it goes:

Where would your wife say was the strangest place you ever made whoopee in my old house?"
