One of the most well known houses in television history, the iconic "Brady Bunch" house is for sale. For anyone expecting to see famous 1970's interior, you won't find it here. The interior was a set on a sound stage. The interior of this house is nothing like the set, but does retain it's mid century charm. It's decorated with a mix of Mid Century and 1970's style with the exception of the 1980's kitchen. It is quite the time capsule!
UPDATE: The house has been sold to HGTV. Details in most articles I've read say they plan to leave the facade, but update the interior. TMZ is reporting that they plan to expand the house to 6000 SF. I really hope they don't destroy it.

The bidding for the “Brady Bunch” house got down to a horse race, listing agent Ernie Carswell said, but it was HGTV that ultimately pulled away from the pack. So, just how much did the cable network spend to secure the television-famous property? About twice the asking price.
HGTV paid $3.5 million to buy the Studio City residence, or $1.615 million more than the list price of $1.885 million. The sale closed Friday.
The home received eight offers, Carswell said. The players included stage and television producers, corporate parties and entertainers such as singer-dancer Lance Bass, who was “heartbroken” to learn he had not submitted the winning bid. All of them planned to keep the home basically intact.
“Every [bidder] intended to retain the front facade as a historic preservation, but most of them intended to renovate the interiors,” Carswell said.
