Here’s the story of a lovely lady.
“The Brady Bunch” fan Tina Trahan, 53, has paid $3.2 million for the Los Angeles house that served as the exterior of the Brady home on the popular TV show. The price is about 9% less than the seller, the television network HGTV, paid for the home in 2018.
Trahan, a historic home enthusiast and the wife of former HBO chief executive Chris Albrecht, said she is a fan of “The Brady Bunch,” which ran from 1969 to 1974 on ABC, and 1995’s “The Brady Bunch Movie.” “I thought that was hilarious,” she said.
She said she plans to use the Studio City house for fundraising and charitable events.
“It’s almost like a life-size dollhouse,” she said.
HGTV listed the circa-1959 house in May for $5.5 million. After buying the home for $3.5 million, the network renovated it to match the interiors depicted on the show, documenting the process for the series “A Very Brady Renovation.”
Before HGTV bought it, the home had remained in the same family for nearly 50 years.
