New Owner of HGTV’s Renovated ‘Brady Bunch’ House Will Open Home to Lucky Fans for Charity

When HGTV stars teamed up with “The Brady Bunch” cast members in 2019 to renovate the house featured on the iconic 70s show, the HGTV series that chronicled their adventures had the highest-rated season premiere in the network’s history, per press materials.

In 2023, when the network sold the house for just under $3.2 million, per the Wall Street Journal, new owner Tina Trahan said she had no plans on living there but would use the home for charity events. Now, she’s making good on that promise with “The Brady Experience” sweepstakes, raising money for the nonprofit No Kid Hungry. The window for entering the sweepstakes ends on January 31, 2025.

‘The Brady Bunch’ Stars Will Have Brunch at Iconic Home With Sweepstakes Winners

Former “Brady Bunch” cast members Barry Williams and Christopher Knight have appeared in social media promos for the sweepstakes and will be on hand to have brunch at the Los Angeles home with five winners of “The Brady Experience” sweepstakes and their guests. Roundtrip airfare, transportation, hotel accommodations and meals — including “A Brady Brunch” of pork chops and applesauce — will also be provided for each winner and their guest.

“I can’t believe we’re gonna be able to do this,” Knight told Fox11. “Finally give an opportunity to some to see the magic that we created in this space, that wasn’t really here before, but was somewhere else in Hollywood.”

“The Brady Bunch” ran for five seasons from 1969 through 1974, following the life of a blended family and their housekeeper, but has lived on through the decades in reruns. The home’s exterior was frequently shown on the home, but the interior was just a soundstage in Los Angeles — until HGTV bought the home in 2018 and renovated the interior to look just like the house on the iconic series.

When HGTV’s stars including Drew and Jonathan Scott, Jasmine Roth, and Mina Starsiak Hawk renovated the home, built in 1959, the network issued a press release that said, “Standout features in the completed home include the iconic floating staircase, the burnt orange-and-avocado green kitchen, the kids’ Jack-n-Jill bathroom and a backyard with a swing set, teeter totter and Tiger’s dog house.”

Sweepstakes tickets can be purchased for $25 each, with 10% of each ticket going to No Kid Hungry.

‘Hundreds More’ Details Have Been Added to ‘Brady Bunch’ Home Since HGTV’s Renovation

According to one of the Instagram promo videos for the sweepstakes, “hundreds more” decor details have been added to the home since HGTV’s renovation.

Trahan, who married former HBO chief executive Chris Albrecht in 2016, is a self-proclaimed “historic home enthusiast,” according to People, and is a huge fan of “The Brady Bunch.” With enough money to “collect” homes, she admitted to the Wall Street Journal that buying the TV home was likely “the worst investment ever” because she’d likely never make money from it.

Rather than live in it, she said she would use the home for charity events and keep it the way HGTV left it.

“Anything you might do to make the house livable would take away from what I consider artwork,” she told the paper. “It’s almost like a life-size dollhouse.”
