The Brady Bunch House - Construction Completed! - Long Version - May 23, 24 & June 12, 2019

Welcome to the LONG VERSION of the final and most spectacular installment of this series! Thanks to Entertainment Tonight, USA Today and Good Morning America, we get a spectacular look inside with the Bradys and get their reactions to this incredible project.
In 2018, HGTV paid 3.5 million dollars for the "real" Brady Bunch house located in Studio City, California. Day and night exteriors of the front of the house were used to match the fictional interiors on stage 5 at Paramount Studios in Hollywood.
If you study the real exterior and the fake interior you'll notice that the 2nd story or split level do not match. That's not stopping HGTV, who says they plan to remodel the house in Studio City so that the interior, which looks nothing like it's fictional counterpart, matches the sets as close as possible. They are going to need a lot of wood paneling and burnt orange Formica!
The real excitement is that HGTV reunited all 6 Brady "kids" for their new show, A Very Brady Renovation. This latest Brady Bunch incarnation will premier in September 2019 to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the original Brady Bunch show debut.
The big question is, who is going to live in the Brady Bunch House? I think we are going to see a 2nd series who's premise is to answer that very question.

I grew up in a house that nightmares are made of. Watching this show every Friday night was my escape and told me that not every family was like mine growing up.

[@harperstacey9604]

Those steps that lead to the living room look kinda scary tho( especially for a klutz like myself !)

It's really sad that Florence Henderson, Robert Reed, and Ann Davis aren't alive to see this. It's an amazing gift to see this re-created so perfectly.

[@juless3568]

If Florence Henderson, Robert Reed and Ann Davis were alive to be part of this anniversary they may of wanted to be part of the renovation project and speak about how after so many years the Brady bunch delighted and entertained so many people.

[@campari4467]

I hope it's opened up to the public. Everyone in their youth watched Brady bunch

[@MakeLifeExtraordinary]

It would be cool, but unfortunately, it’s never going to happen. The best you could hope for, is somebody making it into an Airbnb. But I doubt they would do that, because it would be too much wear and tear. The neighborhood is a pretty well off neighborhood and they already are on edge about all of the people who stop by to take pictures. if it were a museum, it would be 100 times worse. Not to mention, there’s no parking for anything like that there. They would have to buy the adjoining properties and knock them down to do so and I doubt the neighbors are going to be very happy about that. not to mention, zoning would never allow it. That entire neighborhood is a Giant filming location... Meaning that, a lot has been filmed within a 5 mile radius of that house. A lot of houses in that neighborhood have been used in different productions. Now imagine if you were the owners of that house and people were stopping by taking pictures in front of it all the time. It is why they originally put the fence up before it got sold to HGTV. Then they removed the fence. Somebody won the house and then sold it and the new owners I’m sure are concerned about overzealous fans. It’s one thing to stand on the street and the sidewalk to take pictures, though there’s going to be some people who want to push it. By knocking on the door or ringing the doorbell to ask to come inside. Which I’m sure has happened or more than one occasion. you also have to understand that whoever bought it spent a lot of money for it. From what I understand, it was north of $3 million. Which is crazy. That house, in my area of Maryland or central PA, would be worth $200,000-$300,000. Possibly a little more, but not too much more. But that is California for you. Take the normal price that people would pay for a house anywhere else and multiply it by 10 times.

[@TheKitchenerLeslie]

What great times, watching the Brady Bunch after school. Shows like this portrayed togetherness, politeness. It's so sad shows like can't exist today.

[@DiscoMatty79]

You do realize that when this show came out, it was considered outdated, right?

[@jessicaklaus1334]

So well said Bb! In fact, it was so wholesome & just outright “good” in terms of behavior that I put this show, Leave It To Beaver, Andy Griffith, etc., on TV for my daughter as she grew up. Everything these shows embodied such as manners, honesty, talking without swearing, are what I wanted my daughter to be influenced by.

[@grease58]

This right here is the only reason I would want to go to California. I love The Brady Bunch I love their house and I would love to go take a tour of this 💕💕

[@retrounderground1]

Call me crazy, but YOU will understand. Being a native of the great Commonwealth of Kentucky, I finally realized my lifelong dream of visiting Los Angeles and Southern California, but not until I was in my late 40's. Finding The Brady Bunch house was a priority and thankfully my host was understanding of this. He took me to it and I just stood out in the street and stared at it, walking up and down the sidewalk for at least an hour. This was before the HGTV acquisition so Mrs. McCallister was still residing there. I didn't impose on anyone or go beyond the brick fence, I just wanted to experience the house and the neighborhood to allow my dream come true soak in.

[@markleon411]

Thank you for compiling this. The Brady Bunch was such a big part of my upbringing. This neighbourhood was so similar to where I grew up. The problem is that HGTV and GMA, etc are not shown in Australia so it was hard for me to find the renovation show. I hope they do make one final special in the house. Just for closure. A dramatic special with the Brady kids as they are, all grown up and moving on.

[@kevinlee6672]

I drive past the Brady house on the 170 freeway for 30 years not knowing it was right there all this time.

[@gc4644]

Knowing in real life (on the soundstage) that the stairs led up to no where, ive always wondered where the 3 bedrooms were actually located (on the soundstage). Thank you Mike Lookinland for FINALLY answering that question! The 3 bedrooms were actually located on the otherside of the front door!

[@ClassicTVMore]

I'm with you. Although Mike didn't make it crystal clear the location of the bedrooms, I too made the same interpretation. Interesting info.

[@johnb.2111]

I remember there were a second set of stairs leading to the attic that Marsha and Greg fought over in a episode. Funny when I was a kid, it never occurred to me when I looked at the outside shots of the house, that there was no place that attic could fit.

[@greenleavesofsummer9673]

During all this reno I wish the actors would have been called their Brady names! When I see them now, I call them their actor names. Sorry, that’s who I see. You all look great. I gotta say I had a double take with Marsha! She just looks her young self as she did and quite the bubbly same, too, same optimistic tone. Thank you all for the fun reno time this last month! P.S. Also, Appreciation to the 6 actors for being good sports and going along with all this fun tadoo even if they did get paid! (I don’t know or care)! I miss Carol and Alice!

That location at 11222 Dilling Street intersects with Klump Ave, just to the west and almost directly across from the house. Klump was the first street I lived on... as an infant! CBS Radford Studios is about 3K' directly west, where my dad was working on "Get Smart" when the BB was in production at Paramount, where he later worked as a Key Grip on "TaxI" with Danny Devito & would spar with Tony Danza during breaks.

[@sundown798]

Crazy classic show but wow! In the mid 70's they would pump and pump RERUNS of everything in those days. We only had like 6 channels and you might get pissed getting a UHF signal kicking the tv a few times. This show did get more popular like some fine wine that you would respect in the early 80's. Yup that was when I loved this show way after it was off the air. I never had known it was that old then at 6 years old!

[@chriss8970]

Even watching that show as a kid, my favorite part was always when they showed those stairs. Those floating stairs like that are so badass and modern looking!! Wasn’t the dad supposed to be like some kind of architect or something? That would have been cool in one of the episodes he could have told a story to the kids about how he designed the house and how the builder tried to talk him out of the stairs, saying it can’t be done. But say kids, it just goes to show you what you can accomplish if you just persevere and stick to your dreams, and don’t give up. Or some kind of fatherly advice like that. Hahahahaha
