Located at Dilling Street in North Hollywood, the house was used on the classic show mainly for exterior shots. In 2018, HGTV bought the 2,500-square foot ranch house for $3.5 million—double the original listing price. Another $2 million was spent on the remodeling project, which was documented in the four-part series A Very Brady Renovation.

It proved to be ratings pay dirt and attracted 28 million viewers across a four-week run. While the home's kitchen is one of the main focal points, Brown notes that potential buyers will also be captivated by the likeness of the staircase. "I think most people are just blown away when they walk in and see the iconic staircase," he says (via ET). After initially acquiring the home in 2018, stars from HGTV worked to convert the 5,100-square-foot house into a living replica of the set. One of the largest tasks was converting the split-level home into a full two-story, as the Brady house is depicted as having two floors on the show. In addition to adding a full second story, the team put a lot of work into renovating the kitchen, making it look exactly as it did when Alice was cooking dinner for the Brady family.
After a full update and remodel completed by HGTV, including a major second-floor addition, the original Brady Bunch house can now be yours for a cool $5.5 million. The home was listed by the network on May 24, and it's been restored to the full glory of its television days—with a few new features and a lot more square footage. While $3.2 million seems like a pretty penny, it’s down from the original asking price of $5.5 million. The home was part of HGTV’s 2019 series "A Very Brady Renovation" as the Property Brothers Drew and Jonathan Scott worked with the show’s cast to re-create the interior of the house.

But the actors had speculated it was unlikely to become a museum or public attraction because it's in a residential area. When the property hit the market in 2018, it was for the first time in 45 years — having not changed hands since 1973. The original asking price was $1.85 million and some speculated that it might be knocked down and redeveloped. — and HGTV’s bold move to dramatically renovate it into the ultimate Brady enthusiast’s abode ensured that would not be the case.

Extreme care and attention to detail were employed to replicate the original decor, down to the avocado green appliances and the groovy floral wallpaper in the girls’ bedroom. In addition, artisans were hired to recreate outdated items, and the floating stairs were built to be the focal point of the midcentury modern open floor plan.

There were concerns that the staircase could not be installed in the house without ruining the front elevation, which everyone recognizes from the exterior shots.
Television network HGTV has listed the fictional family’s instantly recognizable home for $5.5 million, according to a press release sent Wednesday by Warner Bros. The network documented the process on “A Very Brady Renovation,” which featured the six actors who played the Brady children. The cast, alongside HGTV stars, helped gut the house while the crew painstakingly reproduced the set’s rooms and 1970s decor — right down to cabinet hardware. The same episode also featured the construction of the Brady's signature avocado green-and-orange kitchen. Restored by the Fords stars, Leanne and Steve Ford, took the lead and worked alongside Plumb. The actress picked out the green paint for the kitchen table's tulip-style chairs and chose a matte orange laminate from a curated selection.
According to HGTV, on-screen talent involved in the project will include “Property Brothers” Drew and Jonathan Scott, Mina Starsiak, Karen Laine, Leanne and Steve Ford, Jasmine Roth, and Lara Spencer. The network paid $3.5 million for the house, outbidding a host of prospective buyers including NSYNC’s Lance Bass. The online listing for the home notes that "Reportedly it is the 2nd most photographed home in the USA after the White House." Mike Lookinland, who played Bobby, will be joining Karen and Mina to transform the current bedroom into the one his character shared with brothers Greg and Peter. Although the Property Brothers are renovation pros, Drew and Jonathan might feel a little pressure with their important tasks.
