HTGV (Home & Garden Television) bought the iconic Brady Bunch house at 11222 Dilling St. in North Hollywood, California. This is the home that was used for exterior shots on the TV show. (The interior was built in a Hollywood studio.) From CNN:
David Zaslav, chief executive officer of HGTV’s parent company Discovery, made the announcement during the company’s second-quarter earnings call, a spokeswoman told CNN.
“One example of our new project for HGTV will speak to those ‘Brady Bunch’ fans on the call. … You may have heard that the house from the iconic series was recently on the market in California,” Zaslav said. “I’m excited to share that HGTV is the winning bidder and we’ll restore the home to its 1970s glory as only HGTV can. More detail to come over the next few months, but we’ll bring all the resources to bear to tell safe, fun stories with this beloved piece of American TV history….”Former *NSYNC member Lance Bass had taken to social media this week to express his disappointment at losing out on the house.
According to Bass, he was initially told his offer had been the winning one but later learned it had been rejected for a more lucrative offer from a then-unidentified corporate buyer.
