The Los Angeles City Council has designated the home used for exterior shots of “The Brady Bunch” a historic-cultural monument. The vote gives the property landmark protections under the city’s preservation rules.<\/p>\n

The house sits on Dilling Avenue in Studio City<\/a> and appeared in exterior shots throughout the sitcom’s run from 1969 to 1974. Interior scenes were filmed on a soundstage using sets that did not resemble the real home.<\/p>\n

Landmark status protects the property<\/p>\n

The designation<\/a> protects the house from demolition and places limits on major alterations. Significant renovations would trigger a design review, and the city’s Cultural Heritage Commission could delay changes while preservation options are considered.<\/p>\n

The home, built in 1959, features a mid-century ranch design with a shingle roof and stone fa\u00e7ade. Over the years, it became a familiar stop for fans of the show, many of whom visit the property simply to take photos outside.<\/p>\n

Adrian Scott Fine, president of the Los Angeles Conservancy, said the home has become inseparable from the show’s legacy.<\/p>\n

“If you watched the \u2018Brady Bunch,’ you knew this house. People make a pilgrimage to see it,” Fine said after the vote. “To have it designated like this makes it all the sweeter.”<\/p>\n

The home’s interior never appeared in the original series, but the exterior became closely tied to the show’s depiction of suburban family life. The sitcom followed a blended family of six children and aired for five seasons before building a long second life in syndication.<\/p>\n

The house later appeared in the 1995 film “The Brady Bunch Movie” and its sequel.<\/p>\n

Interest in the property surged again in 2018 when HGTV bought the home<\/a> after a bidding war that drove the price to $3.5 million. The network then spent roughly $1.9 million to recreate the show’s fictional interior in the real house.<\/p>\n

The renovation – documented in the HGTV miniseries “A Very Brady Renovation” – added features viewers associated with the show, including the floating staircase and the orange-and-green kitchen.<\/p>\n

Property continues drawing visitors<\/p>\n

The renovation expanded the home to more than 5,000 square feet while leaving the street-facing exterior largely unchanged.<\/p>\n

The property sold again in 2023 and has occasionally opened for limited public tours. Fans still visit the house to take photos from the sidewalk, treating it as a small piece of television history tied to one of the most recognizable sitcoms of its era.<\/p>\n
