As art of an HGTV show with the BB cast, they also aded 2000 sq. ft. and all the interior was revised to mimic the indoor set shots.

Lets see whether Lance Bass tries for it again. If it weren't already with an agent what would be fun is one of the "Million Dollar Property" "stars" as listing agent.

$5.5 Mill for that!
If I remember correctly they paid $1 Mill for it and dumped another Mill into making this fantasy Brady thing. Basically doing a total gut job and adding an awkward addition out the back.

One might have assumed that this house mirrors that of a entire neighborhood of similar age and style of homes.

You would have assumed incorrectly. It's kind of an odd ball home on an in-fill lot that is literally on the L.A. river (cemented drainage ditch).

Diagonal there is a quaint 1930s/40s ranch house. Two doors down there is what looks like an original settlers house, still intact with the brick fireplace. On one side the building looks like the neighborhood well or sewer pumping station. On the other side of the house is a rather small, non-descript two story that looks like a 1970s HUD house and not well kept. The house across the street looks like it's had work done.

Just on the other side of the river is a large shopping mall/area so you'll have all the lights and noise that goes along with that in your back yard.

It's not a gated community and there is no fence around the house ....anymore. There was one before the remodel.

Is this really worth spending $5.5 mill on? You'd really have to have been a fan. I have to wonder how many of the younger generation knows the Brady Bunch. That's probably why they are trying to off load it now.

This isn't really a Babyboomer thing. It was more of a Gen-X related show.

It will be interesting to see how long it sits.

They way over did the can lights, and lighting in general. Nothing vintage looking about it, and the overly white, almost daylight color temperature just kills the decor. Mid century atomic chandeliers would have been better if anything. Also, the photo in the listing I'm attaching has got to be the most liminal, depressing space I've ever seen in a home. Like a cross between a foyer in a 70s low rise professional building and a mall in the middle of an anchor swap renovation. Truly not liking it.

$5.5 million is too much, it will probably sit for a LONG time. $2.5 million is probably closer to what it’s worth but even then, that’s a bit steep. Plus as bradfordwhite mentioned, there’s a huge shopping center not too far and you’ll hear all the noises and so forth from that shopping center, mainly traffic and such. Plus the surrounding houses, I am pretty sure no one will bother making an offer since they will see the other houses in the neighborhood and will be like “what’s the point of paying $5.5 million for a house in a normal neighborhood? I’d rather spend my money elsewhere, perhaps somewhere in Arizona where real estate is cheaper and more plentiful”.

Google Maps lists it as a historical landmark. It would do okay as a museum but I can't see that happening due to local codes, zoning and such.

Reply #2, there is a Zoomer in my job who thought that the 1995 movie was the show!

I Hated this show on HGTV. They took a perfectly beautiful, almost original, mid century modern home and RUINED it to make this stupid, useless home that NEVER existed. What an absolute waste.

Don't worry, it's LA.

Soon whatever investor will buy it, tear off everything, make an open plan kitchen, put some subway tiles here and there and then resist it for only 15 millions... AND SELL IT FAST.

That stair shot is incredibly depressing - I'm reminded of the Professors Paris home in "Funny Face" which was far more appealing.

I'd live in the Brady's house in the pilot episode (see link).

I think the Golden Girls exterior house (in LA) was really nice inside.
