The Brady Bunch home is renovated by HGTV and on the market for $5.5 million
The house from the famous series The Brady Bunch is back on the market five years after HGTV bought the house and renovated it with retro authenticity.
HGTV lowered a $3.5 million bid for the Studio City, California, home in 2018, doubling its asking price, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Created by Sherwood Schwartz, the series initially ran for 117 episodes from 1969 to 1974 and spawned a number of spin-offs, movies, and specials.
It starred the late Robert Reed and Florence Henderson as parents Mike and Carol Brady, the late Ann B. Davis as maid Alice, and Carol’s daughters Marcia, Jan and Cindy (Maureen McCormick, Eve Plumb, Susan Olsen) and Mike’s sons Greg, Peter and Bobby (Barry Williams, Christopher Knight, Mike Lookinland).
Following the purchase, HGTV undertook a major renovation of the mid-century home, recreating the home’s interior and exterior as seen in the hit TV series, which has run in syndication for decades.
