‘The Brady Bunch’ house in the Valley to open for public tours this summer

The Studio City house known as the home of “The Brady Bunch” on that classic ’70s sitcom will open this summer for limited public tours, giving fans a chance to walk through rooms that recreate the look and feel of the original sets.

The mid-century home at 11222 W. Dilling St. was only used for exterior shots during the show’s original run from 1969 to 1974, but it’s seen as the physical representation of a beloved series that has run for decades since then. It became an informal tourist attraction and photo op.

Then in 2018, HGTV bought the property and recreated the interiors right down to the orange countertops, avocado refrigerator and shag rugs of sets originally built inside a soundstage at Paramount Studios in Hollywood.

That project was, of course, filmed for a 2019 HGTV reality show, “A Very Brady Renovation,” which paired the six actors who played the Brady kids with HGTV renovation stars for the series. Cast and fans alike were wowed by the recreation.

“It really does look like the set,” said Eve Plumb, who played middle daughter Jan Brady, in an interview this week about her forthcoming memoir, “Happiness Included: Jan Brady and Beyond.”

“It’s the thing that won’t die,” Plumb said of the public’s ongoing fascination with all things Brady. “It’s endlessly surprising. It waxes and wanes, but just keeps coming up in new and different ways.”

HGTV sold the house after the series to Tina Trahan, a Texas-based philanthropist, television producer and “Brady Bunch” fan who still owns the home. In November 2025, it was opened to the public as part of a contest for three days of self-guided tours.

Now, anyone can book a tour as long as spots are available.

“You can now book a semi-private, self-guided visit into the most iconic home in TV history,” according to TheBradyExperience.com website, where a waitlist for the release of tour tickets is now open.

“Fans will be fully immersed during a walkthrough visit that brings the beloved home to life – with immaculate details and unforgettable rooms, and all the nostalgic charm you’ve dreamed of!”

Visitors will have access to familiar spaces, including the living room with its distinctive staircase, a brightly colored retro kitchen and the children’s bedrooms, along with interactive features and photo opportunities designed to recreate scenes from the show, organizers said.

During the HGTV show, Plumb worked on furnishing the Bradys’ family room, shopping for the clock and stereo seen in the show, as well as overseeing the construction of a custom stereo cabinet and the printing of special fabric for the daybeds.

As a visual artist in addition to her acting work, Plumb also painted three original paintings for the house. In the family room, she created two European street scenes seen in the series. In Jan’s bedroom, she did an oil painting that, in the absence of a canonical origin story, she decided Jan had done.

“No one remembers for sure where the original came from, so I attributed it to Jan,” Plumb says on EvePlumb.tv, where lithographs of her art, including the three Brady House pieces, are sold. “It may have been pastel, but I painted it in oil on panel because that was the best way for me to make sure the colors were right.

“I titled it, ‘If I Could Keep Angst In A Bottle ‘since Jan was known for drama.”

As with the November tours, proceeds from the upcoming open houses will benefit Wags and Walks Dog Rescue Adoption Center.

In March, the Brady House earned a fresh round of attention when the Los Angeles City Council designated it as a historic-cultural monument.

“Few places capture the joy and optimism of mid-century family life quite like the Brady Bunch House,” Adrian Scott Fine, president and CEO of the Los Angeles Conservancy, told City News Service at the time. “For millions around the world that tuned in, it was simply a TV set – but here in the Valley, it stands as a real home, a pop-culture landmark, and a place where make-believe met real Los Angeles suburbia.

“In many ways, we all felt at home with the Bradys, making its recognition as a historic-cultural monument a fitting tribute to a house and family that shaped so many Angelenos’ childhoods,” he said.
