Editor’s Note:
Few addresses in American television history carry the weight of 11222 W. Dilling St. in Studio City, California. Though the Brady Bunch house was never used for anything more than exterior shots during the show’s original run, it became something far greater — a cultural landmark woven into the fabric of American family life.
If you grew up during the 1970s, you watched The Brady Bunch. Back then we only had three TV channels — until Channel 17 came along in March of 1976. We didn’t have many choices back in the day, and yet somehow that limitation gave us something priceless: shared experiences. Everyone watched the same shows, laughed at the same moments, and knew every Brady kid by name. And let’s be honest — most guys had a crush on Marcia.
Maureen McCormick brought the eldest Brady daughter to life with a charm that made her arguably the most iconic teenager in television history. “Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!” wasn’t just a catchphrase — it was a generation’s shared memory.
Since its premiere on ABC on September 26, 1969, The Brady Bunch has never really gone away. It ran for five seasons, produced 117 episodes, and found new generations of fans through decades of syndication. That staying power is precisely why this modest mid-century home means so much to so many.

When the art collector and super-fan Tina Trahan spotted the house on Zillow and purchased it from HGTV in 2023 for $3.2 million, she made clear she wasn’t buying a home — she was accepting a stewardship. She has since opened it for charitable fundraisers alongside original cast members, welcomed the public through its doors for the first time in November 2025, and successfully championed its designation as a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument — a unanimous vote by the City Council on March 4, 2026.
This summer, fans will finally be able to walk through those rooms — past the orange countertops, the avocado refrigerator, and the iconic open staircase — and stand inside a piece of television history.
Some houses are just houses. This one never was.

The iconic house from The Brady Bunch is opening its doors to fans this summer.
The Brady Experience will welcome fans inside a meticulously recreated version of the Los Angeles home from the beloved sitcom The Brady Bunch. The experience is hosted by Bucket Listers, a company that offers unique experiences to fans.
Located in the Studio City neighborhood, the mid-century split-level home was built in 1959. The house was used for exterior shots only in the series, but was purchased by HGTV for $3.5 million in 2018 and underwent a complete renovation to match the interior to the ones from the series on the show A Very Brady Renovation.
Proceeds from the tours will go towards Wags and Walks, a local nonprofit dog rescue dedicated to saving at-risk dogs and helping them find loving homes.

Last month, the home was granted historic status by the Los Angeles City Council.

“This home has always represented something bigger than just a television set—it’s a place that holds decades of memories for so many people,” Tina Trahan, who bought the home in 2023, said in a statement.
“Opening it up to fans in a thoughtful way, while also supporting a meaningful charitable cause, makes this experience even more special. It’s about sharing that joy and nostalgia while giving back in a way that truly matters.”

“There’s an incredible sense of nostalgia and care that brings the iconic home back to life. I immediately knew this had to be part of the Los Angeles Bucket List—an unforgettable, one-of-a-kind experience that people from all over can enjoy while supporting a worthy cause.”
