Good news for fans of classic television! The house used for exterior shots in the original Brady Bunch series has been officially named a historic landmark. This means the famous home will be protected from major changes or being torn down.

Pork chops and applesauce, forever!

Why the Brady Bunch House Became So Iconic

This 1959 ranch house in California’s San Fernando Valley is probably where many viewers first fell in love with mid-century modern design. Its classic split-level layout, gently sloping roof, and familiar front view are instantly recognizable from the show’s opening sequence.

Though the house was only used for outside shots in the original TV show, it’s become a popular spot for fans of classic television. More recently, HGTV purchased the home and completely renovated it for the show A Very Brady Renovation. The designers carefully rebuilt the inside to look just like the famous rooms from the 1969-1974 series – which, interestingly, filmed those interior scenes on a soundstage, not in the actual house.
