For Sale for $1.8M: The Brady Bunch House

One of the most iconic residences in pop culture history, the Los Angeles residence used as the exterior for “The Brady Bunch” home, is now on the market for $1.8 million.

 

According to a Los Angeles Times report, “The Brady Bunch” aired from 1969 to 1974 and has been a rerun staple ever since. Violet and George McCallister purchased the property in 1973 for $61,000 and have updated its interiors over the years. The couple has passed away and the sale is being handled by their estate.

 

The two-bedroom, three-bathroom house boasts approximately 2,500-square feet of living space and is based on a 12,500-square-foot lot near the Los Angeles River. Although the property played a relatively minor role in the classic series—all of the interior scenes were filmed in a studio, with the house only turning up in establishing shots and time-passage interludes—it has nonetheless attracted the devotion of “Brady Bunch” fanatics. Ernie Carswell, a Douglas Elliman agent who is listing the property, said the sale has generated a lot of attention.

 

“We’re preparing for an avalanche,” he said. “E-mails, telephone calls—we may see upwards of 500 calls a day … I just don’t think we can have a Sunday open house where 1,000 people show up. We’d be inviting chaos.”
