Tourist Mecca or Teardown—What's Going to Happen to the 'Brady Bunch' House?

quote [ Marcia, Marcia, Marcia, what's going to happen to the iconic homestead?

It's a question worthy of a season-ending cliffhanger since the "Brady Bunch" house landed on the market last week—for the first time in 45 years. The three-bedroom, three-bath house in Studio City, CA, used for exterior shots of the Brady home in the popular '70s TV sitcom is available for $1,885,000. ]

I'd totally buy this place...and leave it just the way it is :)

So it was only used for exteriors? But not interiors? If I buy it it wont have the same kitchen where Alice would cook and make eyes at Sam the butcher? Because I liked that kitchen. And I couldn't move into the den like Greg did in his 'Groovy' phase? If it has the den and the kitchen I'm interested.

It does come with the mysteriously absent dog though.

I'm surprised it's a real house and not a facade on a studio lot.

Hasn't been renovated or upgraded since 1974.

Termites, multiple cracks in the slab, old aluminum wiring going into Zinsco panels, single paned windows, asbestos and plumbing issues. Not to mention all the expired building codes, and will definitely need to update the bathrooms and kitchen as well

If you can avoid a bidding war on a high-profile property, that's about 30-50 to take care of all of that. I'd probably have a final of 1.75, get a 3 year low-rate adjustable for it. Yeesh - that's a lot of work for pocketing maybe 50-60 after taxes.
