The same episode also featured the construction of the Brady's signature avocado green-and-orange kitchen.

You can drive by the iconic TV house and admire it from a respectful distance, but you can’t go inside to visit The Brady Bunch house.

The Brady Bunch first aired on September 26, 1969, and ran until March 8, 1974. It was based on a blended family with Carol Martin Brady having three girls, and Mike Brady having three sons. The family also had a live-in maid named Alice Nelson, whose character was a major part of the show’s success and appeal. Notable cameos during the show’s run included Davy Jones, Don Drysdale, Jim Backus (Mr. Howell), Joe Namath, Don Ho, Vincent Price, Marion Ross, Ken Berry, Wes Parker, and Desi Arnaz Jr. In the fourth and final episode, titled, “A Sunshine Day on Clinton Way,” Williams worked with Roth and Flea Market Flip's Lara Spencer to recreate his legendary room. Because it was built in the home's basement instead of an attic, Roth and Williams had to paint the ceiling a dark color, install rafters, and even hang a fake window.

Here's How the 'Brady Bunch' House Will Be Transformed on 'A Very Brady Renovation'

The "Brady Bunch" house, one of the most recognizable homes in TV history, is officially off the market. "I think most people are just blown away when they walk in and see the iconic staircase," Brown tells ET. "And you see the detail of the molding, 'cause everyone remembers this is where they took all their family pictures." In 2018, HGTV looked to meld the two realities and bought the house on Dilling St. for $3.5 million, nearly double the original asking price. The channel outbid Hollywood celebrities, including former ‘N Sync member Lance Bass.

He said the team eventually came up with the home value by basing their estimate on the values of the land the property stood on and the structure of the house itself. Stepping into the home was an emotional blast from the past for the cast, who used to film the series on a sound stage in Burbank, California. But the designers have tried to duplicate the home exactly how it was on the show, even crowdsourcing original props from fans. The entire restoration crew and Brady cast helped show ET the before and after of the home. A lot of work went into this project, but the hardest detail to duplicate was the iconic staircase because the house did not have a long one. Last, but not least, the third episode showed viewers how the Good Bones hosts, plus Olsen and Lookinland, reimagined the backyard.

HGTV had quite the competition to beat, as the famous home drew lots of interested buyers, including a bid from former NSYNC band member Lance Bass. When the property hit the market in 2018, it was for the first time in 45 years — having not changed hands since 1973. The original asking price was $1.85 million and some speculated that it might be knocked down and redeveloped. — and HGTV’s bold move to dramatically renovate it into the ultimate Brady enthusiast’s abode ensured that would not be the case.

The two actors recalled childhood memories of playing on the teeter-totter and spending time inside the doghouse, which they helped build. Olsen also picked out the artificial turf that was installed, and her TV siblings loved it. According to House Beautiful, this home is the second most photographed property in the United States. The first-place position, and rightly so, goes to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, better known as the White House. As they reported further, HGTV launched a show entitled "A Very Brady Renovation" connected with the famous house. For the modern HGTV show, experts transformed a house into a replica of the actual home used in the sitcom.

According to medium.com, A Very Brady Renovation is the highest-rated series in HGTV’s history with 3.36 million people tuning in for the opening episode alone. So, whilst the kids’ rooms on set were originally located behind the front door, now, they’re on the second story of the house for real. The kitchen toaster, the huge stuffed giraffe in the girls’ bedroom, a miniature bust figurine on Mr. and Mrs. Brady’s headboard, and even a set of oversized plastic orange grapes were displayed neatly on the living room coffee table. It took a grueling seven months to transform the home, including adding over 2,000 square feet to the back of the home to account for each room. Every furnishing was also chosen to meticulously match what was in the original episodes. When the show's producers chose the house back in 1969, it was only for the exterior.

"They added it and rebuilt the kitchen based on exactly what they saw on the set and the frames from the TV," Brown says. "They matched every color, every cabinet, everything we could, everything they could to look perfect." After adding a second floor to the home, the bulk of renovations went into the kitchen. "HGTV spent about $5.5M+ purchasing and building the house which is why we listed it at $5.5M even though we knew it was an aspirational list price," Brown said in a statement.

Everything has been recreated down to the finest detail and I mean the absolute finest. Soon after HGTV bought the Brady Bunch house, HGTV took us a trip down memory lane with the limited series A Very Brady Renovation which brought together the actors from the popular TV show to renovate their fictional childhood home. It was built in 1959 and shot to fame exactly a decade later when The Brady Bunch aired the first of its 117 episodes on ABC on September 26th, 1969. "It was strange being the 2nd floor because our bedroom was really on the other side on the ground floor of the set," said Mike Lookinland, who played Bobby Brady. Barry Williams, who helped do the restoration, said he hopes viewers of "A Very Brady Renovation" will get "an experience of what this house represented."

HGTV has announced that the renovation of the iconic “Brady Bunch” house is now complete. The network spent another $1.9 million to transform the house to resemble the home where America came to know Mike, Carol, Greg, Marcia, Peter, Jan, Bobby and Cindy Brady. HGTV added a second story to accommodate enough space for the rooms seen in the show.

The HGTV stars nailed every detail of replicating the iconic Brady home entrance. The name of the fictional street where the action of The Brady Bunch TV show took place was Clinton Way. Mr. Brady and his three sons lived at 4222 Clinton Way, but the name of the town/city was never specified on the show.

As a refresher, "The Brady Bunch" TV series ran from 1969 to 1974 and consisted of nearly 120 episodes, according to IMDb. And while we don’t know the final sale price quite yet (nor do we know who the lucky buyer might be), we’ll make sure to update you as soon as the sale goes through and more information becomes available. Firstly, I can’t stress enough the painstaking detail that went into bringing the original Brady Bunch house back to life in just 307 days.
