The iconic The Brady Bunch home, as you saw in the opening and ending credits of the popular ’70s TV show, is for sale for US$1.885 million.

Records show George and Violet McCallister bought the 2,477 square foot, two-bedroom, three-bathroom split-level home in the Studio City neighbourhood of Los Angeles in 1973 for $61,000.

The inside of the home isn’t the same as we saw on the show; all interior Brady Bunch scenes were shot in a studio. Real estate agent Ernie Carswell told the Los Angeles Times the house has been updated and upgraded, while the outside still bears a resemblance to its former glory.

Carswell says a rock-wall fireplace, wood-panelled walls and floral wallpaper are vintage touches of what homes looked like in the ’70s. Pictures featured in the Times show a decorative house trapped in time, and it still has a very strong ’70s feel, replete with golden doorknobs and floral wallpaper.

The agent says the home attracts 30 to 50 visitors a day. Apparently, the owners died and their children are selling the property.

“We’re preparing for an avalanche,” said Carswell to Tribune Media. “Emails, telephone calls — we may see upwards of 500 calls a day.”

There is a fear that a potential buyer may want to tear down the property, erasing the memory associated with the home. Carswell insisted that they won’t jump on any big offer from a developer who wants to build something new on the lot.

“We’re going to wait a few days, in case there are others who want to purchase it as an investment to preserve it,” he said.
