Iconic Homes Spotlight: The Brady Bunch House

I’m Nathan Derry with JohnHart Real Estate, and this week in my Iconic Homes series, I’m spotlighting one of the most famous houses in TV history: The Brady Bunch home. If you grew up watching "The Brady Bunch" like I did, you probably remember the iconic split-level house where the fictional Brady family lived their blended-family adventures. But did you know the house is located right here in Sherman Oaks, California?

A Piece of TV History: The Brady Bunch House

Nestled just above the boulevard in Sherman Oaks, this mid-century modern gem was built in 1959. While the exterior of the house was used for the show, the interior scenes were filmed on a studio set. Nonetheless, the house became an instant symbol of suburban life in the 1970s, instantly recognizable to generations of TV fans.

The Brady Bunch house is a 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom home, spanning 2,477 square feet, and it sits on a 5,140-square-foot lot. The home was recently sold in September 2023 for a cool $3.2 million. That’s quite the price tag for a piece of pop culture history! And while the home has undergone some updates, it still retains much of its original mid-century character, including that iconic split-level design and classic curb appeal that made it so famous.

A Mid-Century Masterpiece

Mid-century homes, like the Brady Bunch house, have a unique appeal. Built during an era that emphasized simplicity, clean lines, and an indoor-outdoor lifestyle, they remain highly sought after by buyers today. The large windows, open spaces, and integration of nature into the home’s design make them perfect for the Southern California lifestyle.

As someone who grew up watching "The Brady Bunch," it’s exciting to see these types of homes come on the market—and even more thrilling to get the opportunity to help people buy or sell them. They represent not only a significant period in architectural history but also carry with them a sense of nostalgia for anyone who remembers the Brady family's antics.

The 2023 Sale of the Brady Bunch House

When the Brady Bunch home hit the market, it sparked a wave of interest. Fans of the show, architecture enthusiasts, and curious buyers all wanted to catch a glimpse of this iconic property. Ultimately, it sold for $3.2 million—showing that homes with pop culture ties can command impressive prices, especially in prime areas like Sherman Oaks.

While most of us won't end up living in a house as famous as this, it's fun to imagine walking through those doors and feeling like you're part of TV history. And for the lucky new owners, that dream is now a reality!
