I was told where it was and I just drove by, remembers Brady, shrugging.

And I lived really close by, too.

When [they first contacted me], I said, You cant do what you want to do.

But Im happy to play!

Its a one story house and there was a big staircase on the show.

How do you put that staircase in and not violate the elevation from the street?

I was really freaked out when we first saw the house, recalls showrunner Bob Kirsch.

It was as different as different can be from the Brady house.

But we could not touch the front of house.

The lot size worked in our favor.

We found the original beds from girls bedroom, Kirsch says.

We also found an urn from the original living room.

This woman who was living in the house devised a strategy.

First, she put up a brick wall [around the front lawn].

That was her life.

I had no idea there were that many people taking photos of the house.
