Transcript²

HGTV bought the midcentury Studio City home in 2018 for $3.5 million. It was gutted³ and a story added to recreate the show's living room, kitchen and bedrooms that had existed on a studio stage.

MICHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Good morning. I'm Michel Martin. "The Brady Bunch" house is back on the market. Five years ago, HGTV bought the midcentury modern, which is located in Studio City, and then gutted it. The original rooms you saw actually existed only on a Paramount⁴ soundstage. So the living room, kitchen, bedrooms and yard were restyled to match the show. Now you can live out your classic sitcom⁵ dream for $5.5 million. It's MORNING EDITION.
