LOS ANGELES (CNN) - The home featured in the opening and closing scenes of “The Brady Bunch” is for sale in Southern California.
The iconic home is available for a cool $5.5 million where you could channel your inner Mike or Carol Brady.
A few years back, HGTV bought the North Hollywood property for $3.5 million and renovated it on the show “A Very Brady Renovation.”

Isn’t there a additional L.A. tax on sales >$5M? I’ve been to the house but can’t recall if it’s actually in the city limits. Might have to lower the price.
Its got practically no back yard.

My wife and I watched that because we’re from that generation. They had to radically restructure it because the show was filmed on sets and not at the actual house and they didn’t matchup......depiction. IIRC even with all that they still didn’t get it exactly like the show depicted.
But yeah, 5.5 mill.......in just about any other state it’d probably go for less than a mill but real estate in California is literally stupid expensive.
The house appeared in some episodes of “Mannix,” as well.
And here I grew up thinking they were middle class.
Does it still have the Astroturf in the backyard?
Although not evident from a street shot, the back of the property abuts the LA aqueduct, and given the homeless situation, and their propensity for such places, that might not be a big selling point.
No kidding, perhaps 350k
One bathroom for everyone?
Best thing for potato sack racing.

Good luck to HGTV.
I live in this area. North Hollywood is a middle to lower middle class suburb. Not as bad as Pacoima or other SF Valley areas, but not the best by a long shot. NH High School is one of the worst and crime/immigrant overcrowding has always been a problem, but they’ve spruced up the main drag to with a ‘bohemian’ motif. Use to be even crappier, but it’s probably peaked.
There are a few other 7-figure listings, but much larger / newer homes and nowhere near $5mil, and most are under $1mil. They’re betting on the celeb/hollywood factor is my guess. Don’t think it will work. I wouldn’t pay millions over ordinary market value just for that.
A friend of mine bought a 2 bedroom condo 2 blocks off the beach in LA 20 years ago for $350k. The city for property taxes values it at $1.85 mil. No yard, a tiny garage, 2BR 1 bath. It’s nothing special. Were he to sell it, no doubt it’d go for far more.
Part of Americana to be sure.....they had most of the kids on that HGTV show at the remodel reveal......man that made me feel old. 😏
It was a cool house, but the father’s house in the original Parent Trap movie was even better.
How many middle class people do you know who had a live-in housekeeper/cook? I guess you could call them “upper middle class”.
I remember when Greg converted the attic to a bedroom, I thought that was the coolest thing.
Mostly movie sets though in the first PT. The second Parent Trap mansion is a real one at a winery that can be toured.
