The "Brady Bunch" house is for sale!

Via The Los Angeles Times:

Violet and George McCallister bought the two-bedroom, three-bathroom house in 1973 for $61,000, records show. The series ran from September 1969 to March 1974 before moving into reruns in syndication.

Ernie Carswell, a Douglas Elliman agent who is listing the property, said the split-level house has been updated and upgraded but retains almost the exact interior decor from that era, though the layout does not resemble the TV show home.

A rock-wall fireplace and wood-paneled walls are among classic details found in the living room, which features a built-in bar. Floral wallpaper and window coverings are another vintage touch. The home’s MusiCall intercom and whole-house radio also remain.

“This is a postcard of exactly what homes looked like in the 1970s,” Carswell said.


Pop Focus: The Singing Brady Bunch!

The Partridge Family wasn't the only singing crew on 1970s TV.

Likely inspired by the record chart success of David Cassidy and Shirley Jones, the Brady Bunch kids also got into the act, releasing several not-as-good-as-the-Partridges LPs.

Not that they were completely terrible. "Time to Change" and "Sunshine Day" are pretty likeable bubblegum pop.

As you'll see from the picture sleeves below, several solo Brady's also issued singles.

And, after the demise of the original Brady Bunch show, most of the cast (Eve "Jan" Plumb couldn't participate due to contractual problems) reconvened for 1976-77 "Brady Bunch Hour" variety show produced by Sid and Marty Krofft for more singing and dancing.

Check out the musical side of the Brady's in the pics and clips below.
