Building and renovating a home can be shockingly expensive. While individual items may not seem too expensive, every little doorknob, cabinet hinge, and floor tile add up to one costly and time-consuming project. It’s tempting to want to save money however you can on your building renovation, but how can you cut costs without cutting corners? One solution is to shop at local secondhand stores, such as a Habitat for Humanity ReStore, where you can donate and purchase gently used building materials, lumber, cabinets, doors, windows, and more. While it can take a little more time to find what you need, secondhand shops often have better quality materials at a better price than new retail stores, and you’ll find items that are more special to you and your home. In short, shopping secondhand for renovation materials can help you save money, create a unique home, and protect

A Los Angeles home with a classic TV pedigree has gone on the market.

The famed “Brady Bunch” house in Studio City, which was purchased in 2018 by HGTV and then renovated in a high-rated limited series, has hit the market at $5.5 million.

The exterior of the home was used for establishing shots in the beloved sitcom. After HGTV bought the home — paying $3.5 million — the network assembled members of the series’ cast for “A Very Brady Renovation”, which followed their efforts as they made the home’s interior resemble that depicted on the show (which wasn’t filmed in a house, but on a studio soundstage).

HGTV is selling the “Brady Bunch” house in Studio City for $5.5. million, several years after its televised renovation.

A portion of the proceeds from the sale will “help provide up to 250,000 meals for Turn Up! Fight Hunger, an initiative that aims to help kids live with hunger in the US through No Kid Hungry,” the Warner Bros. Discovery-owned channel said this week in a statement. The initiative works with programs to prepare meals for children.

Originally built in 1959 with Late Modernist architecture, the house was used for exterior shots throughout the show’s five-season run from 1969 to 1974, followed by decades of syndication, cementing the mixed family of eight in pop culture. The building would become what is known as the second-most photographed home in America, behind the White House.
