The Brady Bunch House

Television History Meets Mid-Century Reality

The address is 11222 Dilling Street. The home is a 1959 split-level in Studio City’s quiet residential streets, just north of the Los Angeles River. Producers chose it in 1969 because the architecture looked like middle America—stable, warm, the kind of house where a blended family of eight could work through their problems in 30-minute episodes. For five seasons, The Brady Bunch filmed exterior shots here while building elaborate interior sets at Paramount Studios.

You’ve seen this house thousands of times if you watched the show. The sloped roofline, the low brick wall, the front steps where Carol Brady stood with her daughters. But here’s what makes it special now: what’s inside actually matches what you saw on TV.

The HGTV Transformation

HGTV purchased the property in 2018 for $3.5 million and documented its transformation in A Very Brady Renovation. The network brought back the six Brady kids—now adults—to help gut the house and rebuild it room by room to match the original soundstage. They sourced period furniture, recreated the wallpaper patterns, found the right shade of orange for those Formica counters. The floating staircase that defined the show’s opening credits? Installed. The boys’ bedroom with blue bunk beds? Built exactly as you remember it. Mike Brady’s den with architectural plans spread across the desk? There.

The renovation expanded the house to 5,140 square feet to fit all the rooms viewers knew. They added a second story. They matched the carpet, the light fixtures, the bathroom tile. When you walk through the house—if you’re lucky enough to get inside—you’re not touring a private home decorated in 1970s style. You’re walking through the actual sets from The Brady Bunch, rebuilt in the house that represented them on screen.

Visiting the House

Here’s the reality: this is a private residence. Current owner Tina Trahan bought it in 2023 for $3.2 million. She occasionally opens it for charity events through The Brady Experience, with tickets running $275. These 90-minute tours let visitors explore every room, take photos, sit on the furniture, and pose on the staircase. You wear booties to protect the vintage carpeting. Proceeds benefit organizations like Wags and Walks dog rescue and No Kid Hungry.

For most people, visiting means a drive-by. Park on Dilling Street, walk to the public sidewalk, and photograph the exterior. You’ll see the house behind a fence and gate, often with a vintage station wagon parked out front. A security guard sits in an SUV nearby—the house reportedly sees visitors daily. Be respectful. Don’t block driveways, don’t walk on the property, don’t disturb the neighbors. Take your photos and move on.

What Makes It Worth Seeing

This house ranks as the second-most photographed home in America, after the White House. That’s not promotional talk—it’s what happens when millions of people grew up watching a show that made a split-level house feel like part of their family. The Brady Bunch ran for just five seasons but became a cultural touchstone through decades of reruns.

Coming here connects you to that shared memory. You’re seeing the exact house from those opening credits, the one that represented home for the Brady family every week. And knowing that inside, someone recreated every room to match the show—that turns a simple drive-by into something more than nostalgia. It proves that sometimes, you can go home again.
