I can't get past the fact that they are claiming it is the second most photographed house in America. I would think Mt.Vernon, Monticillo and Graceland, to name a few, would all be photographed more. Even if you argue that the homes I've named are no longer occupied, I still think there would be lots of homes around America which are photographed more. For example most Governor's mansions are open for tours and get photographed a lot. I probably have too much time on my hands if I'm quibbling w/ some over blown claim in a real estate listing. I'm thinking even the Full(er) House gets much more traffic than the Brady Bunch house. The Full(er) House house is now owned by the creator of the shows, Jeff Franklin!! He bought it two years ago for something like 4 million! I think he was originally thinking of opening it to the public. Not sure what became of that. |

I just read an article about the city passing some kind of ordinance not allowing buses to stop there... but that could have been old. They said 'the owners' but didn't mention it was owned by the creator.. let me see if I can find it. people.com/travel/tour-buses-banned-full-house-home-san-francisco/Here it is.. it's even new.. LOL.. but it didn't mentioned who owned it.. I just assumed it was just some random people... Oh here it is!!! www.forbes.com/sites/kristintablang/2016/12/05/full-house-home-san-francisco-jeff-franklin/#167ea9a479a5 |

Holy crap - Lance Bass is looking at buying it! He talked about it on this week's Off the Block with Ross Mathews (Big Brother Friday show - don't watch if you don't want spoilers from this week's shows!) Skip to 26 minutes in to hear him discuss going over to the house after filming! That would be so exciting! Lance Bass Wants to Buy Brady House |

Yeah that has to suck.. .but living near the Goonies house.. that is totally cool. I hear the Full House people have had it as well with all the sightseers in front of their home. I mean there isn't anything about the house inside that makes me drool .. I just want it because it is the Brady Bunch house. It would be fun to own it, redo the inside to make it look like the Brady house and have tours!! People would pay for that crap wouldn't they??? Put in some AstroTurf, put a 70s station wagon in the driveway... my best childhood memories are in that house, lol. I can walk though it in my head. Except for vacant deadspots like, what happens at the top of the stairs? We have never seen the hallway to the bedrooms.  But Mike and Carol's bedroom, the girls with the three beds, the boys and the bunkbeds. Mike's den. The living room, dining room, kitchen and family room with the tv. Heck, we've even seen the garage! Remember when Jan needed glasses and she couldn't see and crashed on her bike into the family portrait hideen in the garage for a suprise and ruined it? Oh the memories. I love that show so much. The kitchen at the front of the house is all wrong.  The Brady house was the first time I was introduced to a Jack & Jill bathroom and I thought that was sooooo sophisticated. When we were looking at houses to buy, I passed on every one with a J&J bathroom.  |

Holy pink room. With matching pink PJs you could be invisible to attackers.
