Good news, retro TV fans: You can now take a tour of the newly renovated “Brady Bunch” house. The bad news, though: It’ll cost you an arm and a bell-bottomed leg.
The iconic L.A. house from the classic ABC family sitcom has been remodeled to match the interior seen on TV, thanks to HGTV’s “A Very Brady Renovation.” But taking a tour isn’t cheap: House tour tickets, which went on sale this week, start at a whopping $289.75 per person (including fees), with tours available from May 11 to July 17. That’s for “The Brady Experience,” a one-hour, semi-private, self-guided tour that offers access to the Bradys’ living room, kitchen, and kids’ bedrooms, “complete with era-accurate décor,” per the official description.
“Fans will be fully immersed during a walkthrough visit that brings the beloved home to life,” the description continues, “with immaculate details, unforgettable rooms, and all the nostalgic charm you’ve dreamed of!” (A portion of ticket sale proceeds will go to benefit Wags & Walks Dog Rescue in Los Angeles.)
The Brady Bunch house was renovated on HGTV
The original “Brady Bunch” house is a real house located in L.A.’s Studio City neighborhood, with the exterior often shown on the ABC classic during its 1969-74 run. The interior scenes, though, were shot on a soundstage at Paramount Studios. (The house was chosen because series creator Sherwood Schwartz thought it looked like a home where an architect would live.)
The real house’s interior didn’t match the groovy TV house, though — until 2018, when HGTV purchased the home and renovated it to look like the original “Brady Bunch” show, inside and out. It was all captured on the HGTV series “A Very Brady Renovation,” which aired in 2019, with HGTV stars like “Property Brothers” Jonathan and Drew Scott teaming up to tackle the renovation along with all six original “Brady Bunch” cast members who played the Brady kids.
The ambitious renovation added 2,000 square feet to the property’s original footprint, including a full second story. The finished product includes the Bradys’ famous floating staircase, a retro kitchen, the kids’ Jack-n-Jill bathroom, and a backyard with a swing set, teeter totter and Tiger’s dog house. HGTV put the house on sale in 2023 with a listing price of $5.5 million, but it sold later that year for just $3.2 million. The buyer was Tina Trahan, a media executive and wife of former HBO boss Chris Albrecht, who pledged to keep the house unoccupied and use it for fundraisers and charity events.
