The cast members – including Barry Williams (Greg), Maureen McCormick (Marcia), Christopher Knight (Peter), Eve Plumb (Jan), Mike Lookinland (Bobby) and Susan Olsen (Cindy) – for a walkthrough of the home The show's exterior shots, Newsday reported.
HGTV, on which "A Very Brady Renovation" will be debut next year, reportedly bought the property in August for "a full-scale overhaul" of the home's antiquated interior. But the network insists will not compromise on the "instantly recognizable street view."
Interior shots for the TV sitcom were filmed at a different location – Paramount Studios' Stage 5 in Hollywood. "The Brady Bunch," which originated on ABC from 1969 to 1974, was widely considered a hallmark of family-oriented American television.
"What's so exciting about this project is that we are one of the most iconic homes of many viewers," said Loren Ruch, senior vice president of HGTV programming and partnerships.
