'Brady Bunch' House: Icon Hits Market For First Time In 50 Years

STUDIO CITY, CA — So maybe an architect didn't, in fact, build this iconic home for his large blended family. That doesn't matter because this house will always, always be the "Brady Bunch" house.

For the first time in 50 years, the split-level ranch house that served as the backdrop for the adventures of Greg, Marcia, Peter, Jan, Cindy, Bobby, Mike, Carol, and cousin Oliver is for sale. Listed at $1,885,000, the two bedroom home is billed as America's second most photographed home behind the White House.

Situated in Studio City's Colfax Meadows, the home boasts a gated motor court and two master suites. According to records, Violet and George McCallister bought the house $61,000 in 1973 when the "Brady Bunch" was still airing. While the interior never served as a set for the show, the home is like a time capsule, with decor unchanged since the early 70s. It has a wet bar, a tall stone fireplace and a master bedroom with wall to wall hot pink Toile de Jouy wallpaper and matching bedspread.

The dated home is in a neighborhood notorious for tear-downs and rebuilds, but the owners hope to be able to attract a buyer interested in preserving the piece of architectural Americana.

“We’re not going to accept the first big offer from a developer who wants to tear it down,” listing agent Ernie Carswell told the Los Angeles Times. “We’re going to wait a few days, in case there are others who want to purchase it as an investment to preserve it.”
