‘Brady Bunch’ house in L.A. open to public through limited event
βThe Brady Bunchβ superfans better hold onto their bell bottoms: The TV familyβs retro home in Studio City will finally be accessible to the public for the first time.
The double doors to the midcentury Studio City home β made famous with its appearance in the beloved 1970s sitcom β will open to fans for three days in November thanks to a limited event by pop culture historian Alison Martino and her Vintage Los Angeles. Martino, an on-air host and producer for Spectrum news and the daughter of singer-actor Al Martino, unveiled the βBrady Experienceβ on Monday on Facebook.
βItβs like stepping back into our childhood! IT IS ASTONISHING and you will see every single room,β she announced. βI will personally be taking each and every one of you throughout the house.β
From Nov. 7 to 9, Martino will guide fans who have shelled out $275 each through the iconic Dilling Street property. The event is now sold out. Though the homeβs facade appeared throughout the run of the family sitcom, its interior at the time bore no resemblance to the colorful rooms shown on screen. The interiors of the Brady residence were constructed on sets at Paramount Studios in Hollywood.
The famous abode, originally built in 1959 with late modernist architecture, was renovated decades after βThe Brady Bunchβ ended in 1974.
HGTV purchased the home in 2018 for $3.5 million (more than twice the asking price) and renovated the interior to match what βBrady Bunchβ audiences saw onscreen. The home renovation network documented that process in βA Very Brady Renovation,β which featured the stars who portrayed the Brady children.
As part of the renovations, HGTV reproduced the groovy spaces from the set in the home, adding a second floor to accommodate the additional rooms. The network sold the home in 2023 for $3.2 million to Tina Trahan, a historic-home enthusiast and wife to former HBO executive Chris Albrecht.
The home, in all its βBrady Bunchβ glory, has become βeven more groovy with more remarkable vintage decor added,β Martino added in her announcement. She said nothing in the home would be off limits, allowing fans to βsee every detail up close.β
Proceeds for the three-day event will benefit animal rescue Wags and Walks, a cause that Martino said Brady family dog βTiger would definitely approve!β
