A Complete Tour of the Brady Bunch House | Open House TV

Join real estate agent Danny Brown for a personal tour of one of television's most iconic homes: the Brady Bunch house! Located in Studio City, CA, this 5-bedroom mid-century residence, which served as the exterior for the hit sitcom throughout its run, has since been renovated to replicate many of the show’s familiar 1970s aesthetic touches -including, but not limited to: the iconic staircase, living room with the brick finish where the show's various family members used to hang out with each other; an open-floor concept featuring prominent architectural beams and big sliding doors; and the retro kitchen with its formica orange counters & sea-green cabinets where Alice used to whip up ‘pork chop and applesauce’ dinners.

For those of us who grew up watching the show it's kind of comforting because they are memories of our childhood even though we may never have physically experienced

You are spot on. I watched it everyday after school. I can't remember if I watched it in the 70s or 80s.

[@Marchant2]

It's amazing how they got the inside of this house to match the house on the TV show especially considering that the actual house wasn't a two-story house and that the original floor plan was nothing like the TV house. What an incredible job they did here.

[@brittscott4673]

I'm glad you mentioned that because I thought they used the exterior of this house but all the indoor shots were done on a set.

[@Tes7000]

That is good to know, because I never thought the front facade of the house could ever have the interior floor plan we saw on tv.

[@TheShrededward]

I agree, except... the intereior is again, difficult to replicate with the exterior. The original studio brady bunch house had no second floor, as well as no toilets. I would really have to walk around this house because there's not enough floor space to fit the boys, girls, and parents rooms with what it looks like from the outside. I'd give it maybe two rooms at best. Not three rooms, and certainly not the big rooms the bradys had.

[@user_16309]

They did an amazing job coordinating the interior layout within the confines of the exterior, which was never intended to be that way during production. Sourcing the decor and the props must have been quite a feat.

[@ChiselMouse]

The telephone in the kitchen was from Silver Bay, Minnesota. I'm surprised they didn't put the Bradys' number on the card in the middle of the dial.

[@lowbridge7070]

In the mid-1970s my parents split up when i was young. About 5-6 years old. Mother retained custody of us kids. After the split, she turned into this psychotic, abusive monster. I turned towards watching LOTS of tv as a way of providing myself with escape and comfort from my misery. Out of the many, many tv shows i watched in daily syndicated reruns, the Brady Bunch was (and still is) my number one favorite tv show. The Brady Bunch tv show more than just entertained me. It helped me to preserve what few shreds of sanity I had plus provided me with much needed happiness, laughter, and joy in an otherwise joyless existence. More than once my mother said to my face, "I wish you were never born." Can anyone see Carol Brady saying THAT to any of her 6 kids? Much less multiple times? The Brady family i saw on tv is the family i wished i had. Nice, normal, loving, no abuse, etc. My desire to belong to the Brady Bunch family was so intense, that on more than one occasion, while I slept, I actually dreamed that I was a Brady family member. They are easily the fondest, most happiest dreams I ever had in my lifetime. Dont get me wrong. I had no illusions. I was well aware that the brady bunch wasnt a real life family. Just a bunch of actors playing a part. But at the same time i just knew that the fictional brady family was much more closer to how a real family was supposed to behave. And much, much more closer to happy, loving, and above all, NORMAL than my real life family, home, and circumstances. I swear, if I ever get rich, I'm building for myself my own full sized, EXACT replica of the Brady Bunch home too.

[@pookie4660]

Most kids wanted to live in that home. I hope you get your money and get to build the home. Great architecture!!

[@Marco-vw3mv]

I went to drafting school back in the 90's and studied a little architecture but ended up going into the commercial and industrial electrical side of the construction industry. But I have always wanted to see the floor plan of this house, even as a kid.

[@jayweiss4378]

It’s actually a great design and layout for 2023 standards! Mr Brady did a great job back in the day 👍🏻

[@sirbarryvee-eight6485]

Awesome job! Especially considering the Brady Bunch house had no toilets and even though there were bedrooms opposite each other in a hallway, somehow every bedroom looked out to the back yard.

[@landreaulover]

There is no doubt that the set design played a huge role in why people remember the show so fondly.

[@username_23580]

Wow! I hope someone turns this into a museum that fans/visitors can pay to see. I hope someone doesn't buy it and keep it to themselves. I visited this house back in 2013. It was occupied by the previous owners. We peeked into the backyard bc we had rented the airbnb next door. Unfortunately, we did not see the Bradys. It was practically empty lol.

[@thehapagirl92]

[@scotwelker9741]

On the "fourth wall" of the living room there is a door leading into a hallway that has a staircase going up. If you look at the exterior, the second floor is actually on the opposite side of the house from where it's represented on the show. I want to see that side too. They must have blown out the back of this house for the "tv" second floor.

[@GarretGrayCamera]

That's my question too. I'd like to know where the bedrooms are. Looking at the front door from the outside, it looks like the house extends to the left another 20 feet beyond the stone. Inside, the 4th wall extends from the edge of the stone toward the back. What's beyond that wall? And where's the attic? The attic would be like a third story not visible from the outside. Also looking at the window on the outside to the left of the door, is that a bedroom window? And if so, who's? I still don't get how the main staircase is squeezed in there.

[@montanaplease]

This is the entire reason why I look this video up to begin with. The floorplan doesn’t match the exterior. I’ll be 50 years old in December and I watched probably 90% of the episodes when I was a kid
