German Village renovation leads to headaches and awards

Posted on By Kartika
House Renovation

A one-bedroom German Village cottage built before the Civil War has been listed for $1.175 million after being gutted and expanded.

The rebuilt home received the German Village Society’s “Caretakers of the Legacy” award in 2021, but the award was hard-earned for owners Jim and Tammie Fisher.

The couple’s plan to simply update the home when they bought it in 2019 proved to be naïve, Jim Fisher said.

A small German Village cottage from 1860 was stripped to the bones during its 2020 renovation.

“As we got into it, we found out there were things that needed more attention than we thought,” he said.

“We hoped to save the hardwood floors, for example, and found out there wasn’t enough good material to do that, so we took the floor material and repurposed it for the range hood, the bathroom ceiling and other uses. The house also had an original slate roof that leaked. As we tried to fix the leaks, we discovered it was making it

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).
