The iconic home that served as the exterior of TV’s Brady Bunch is up for sale. But among those eyeing the property are developers who may consider tearing it down.

The house, located at 11222 Dilling Street in Studio City, CA., is listed for $1.85 million in the multiple listings service and just went on the market. The listing calls the property “the second-most photographed home in the United States,” after the White House.

The residence is two bedrooms with three bathrooms and has two master suites. It boasts 2477 square feet on a lot size approximately a third of an acre. The house is on sale for the first time in 45 years, having been bought by its current owners in 1973.

The Brady Bunch house is for sale for nearly $1.9 million, but could it be torn down?
The listing for the Studio City home calls the two-bedroom, three-bathroom property “the second-most photographed home in the United States." “I have several buyers already interested,” realtor Jodie Levitus Francisco tells Deadline. “They’re developers for the lot size. They might tear down, but the listing agent said the family was hoping to get someone to preserve the house, and at $1.85, I don’t know if a developer would pay that much.” ALSO: The Brady Bunch house was last sold for $61,000 in 1973.

I just hope there’s a buyer and chooses not to tear it down.

Indeed....It would be terrible if they did!!!

But if the show WASNT DONE INSIDE THAT HOUSE AT ALL it might not be as bad......

I hope the new owners of this historic television landmark are not going to tear down the famous Brady House, that would be heartbreaking for people who grew up watching this iconic sitcom.

I mentioned this before, on this site, that I always wanted to drive up to Los Angeles and take a picture of the Brady Home. I might make the trip this weekend since I am not too far from Studio City

It would be very upsetting as well.

Bonniegirl · 07-20-2018, 07:08 PM

Ahh!! That's a shame. I hate to hear the Brady house will be torn down!

Why would somebody want to destroy a historic landmark though?

As I mentioned in my post, I hope the new owners do not tear down the house, but I have a bad feeling that they will. Probably replaced the original property with an ugly McMansion which is pretty common in affluent areas in Southern California.

Hopefully, the new owners will not, but to answer your question, why would anyone destroy the Brady House? Indifference, greed, probably not fans of the show, etc.

I am not even a huge fan of The Brady Bunch would I would be heartbroken if the home is demolished.

If they do tear it down, I hope they use it as the location for one final Brady movie. “The Brady Bunch Returns: Marcia Vs. Jan” focuses on the events after Carol Brady’s funeral. Flaky estate executor Marcia wants to donate the property for a park, but Jan and greedy husband Philip want to sell out to a developer and grab the dough. The two battle for the property in a “War of the Roses” style scenario that results in the destruction of the house.

It's classic, maybe turn it into a museum or something.

That would be cool. Or a quaint B & B where people can boast that they stayed at the Brady's house
