I would need a golf cart just to get around the kitchen lolol 
A fan paid $3.2 million and is now applying for historical status. The house was only used for exteriors. Interiors were filmed on sets at the studio. It was remodeled a few years so the house would more closely match the sets.

Even if I were a huge Brady Bunch fan (which I haven’t been since I was 13 and thought Jan was pretty hot), I don’t think I’d be willing to pay a premium for a house that only represented the exterior of the Brady Bunch home and whose interior had been remodeled to resemble the studio set.
This is pretty huge news: the Stahl House is for sale. If you’re not familiar with the house, it’s a significant home in the history of modern architecture (still, I think they were smoking something when they came up with the listing price). It has been featured in videos and movies and as a photo shoot location.
Here’s an iconic picture of the house taken by Julius Shulman.

Umm, I wonder what these people are in to?
$8.4 million for a very strange and very weirdly decorated house built atop what looks like a concrete bunker. I’ll pass on this one.
It reminds me of Bongo’s Dream House from Matt Groening’s Life in Hell comic strip.

To be clear, I posted it for the oddity of it. I’m not suggesting it is an architectural masterpiece or the epitome of style when it comes to interior design.

Not sure what they are in to … but from all “party” areas with black out curtains and beds on the floor, I’d be disinfecting the whole house before I moved in LOL

Yep. And drain the hot tub and pool and scrub them with all of the chlorine on the western seaboard.

Did anyone notice one of the more disturbing themes in the house: headless and limbless nude torsos embedded into the walls? Creepy is an understatement; it’s a house of horrors.

We have one of those in Boston too.
In the morning, it looks like a stack of containers on the horizon.
I bet it leaks.

Views: Yes.
Interest factor: It’s interesting, but it doesn’t blow my mind.
Livability: Not so much. My knees hurt just thinking about going up and down stairs all day.
