The Brady Bunch House is For Sale

An iconic home from our youth is up for sale. “The Brady Bunch” house is on the market. It was the house used for the exterior shots of the popular TV show of the 70s.

The interior of the home looks nothing like the set used in the TV show, but the outside of the home was used in just about every episode. One thing to note, there is a missing window on the left side of the front of the home. The window never really existed! But before they filmed the exterior shots, someone decided that there should be a window there. A fake window was added for them to film the exterior shots and was then removed. You’ll also notice that a brick wall/fence has been installed around the front of the home over the years. And I never noticed the weird offset concrete front walkway up to the front of the home before! The house is located in Studio City, CA.

Here is the listing if you would like to see what the home looks like now and also the interior of the home. Let’s just say it could use a little updating!

A coupe of years ago,there was a story of someone breaking into the home.

I’ve always been the kind of person who notices the things other people overlook — strange roadside attractions, forgotten pieces of history, unusual places, odd trends, and the little things in everyday life that make you stop and say, “Wait... when did that become normal?” That curiosity is really what this blog is all about. I’m especially drawn to the stories hiding in plain sight: a forgotten piece of Michigan history, a roadside attraction you’d never know was there, an old building with a story behind it, or some completely ordinary part of modern life that suddenly seems ridiculous when you think about it for more than five seconds. Some days you’ll find a fascinating history story here. Other days I may take you along on a road trip, dig into something weird from Michigan’s past, share an interesting discovery, or simply rant about something in modern life that makes absolutely no sense. I don’t pretend to have all the answers. I just enjoy asking the questions, digging around for the stories, and sharing the interesting things I find along the way. My goal is simple: Keep looking. Keep learning. And keep things interesting.
