'The Brady Bunch' house sold to a megafan for $2.3 million under asking. She still called it the 'worst investment ever' — see inside.

• "The Brady Bunch" fan, Tina Trahan, bought the house used as the Brady home exterior for $3.2 million.
• The original house was built around 1959 and was bought by HGTV for $3.5 million in 2018.
• Trahan said the home is a "liability" because it's losing cachet as "The Brady Bunch" fans age.

Who doesn't want to live in a classic American sitcom?  The house featured in "The Brady Bunch" hit the market in early June for a cool $5.5 million — and it just sold on Monday for $3.2 million.

HGTV, which purchased the home for $3.5 million in 2018, had to settle for a figure that was $2.3 million less than its initial listing, and about 9% less than what it originally paid for the home, The Wall Street Journal reported. 

The Journal reported that a 53-year-old fan named Tina Trahan had purchased the property. It said she's a home enthusiast and is the wife of a former HBO chief executive. "It's almost like a life-size dollhouse," she told the Journal, which noted that she wants to use the home for charitable events. 

Built in 1959, the two-story home in the Studio City neighborhood of Los Angeles measures 5,140 square feet and is the embodiment of mid-century modern style. It was rebuilt to replicate the set of the TV show, according to the listing.

The buyer, Tina Trahan, told The Wall Street Journal that she was a fan of the show, although she doesn't plan to live in the house. She wants to use it for fundraising and charitable events, she said.

Danny Brown of Compass listed the home, while Marcy Roth of the Eklund Gomes team at Douglas Elliman shared the sale with Fredrik Eklund. Insider reached out to Trahan via Roth for comment.

Brown told The Wall Street Journal that the home-improvement television network lost money on the sale, but made "a good amount of money on TV shows and events and other ancillary revenue streams," like on the TV series "A Very Brady Renovation."

Trahan, who told The Wall Street Journal the house was "the worst investment ever," felt the home was overpriced — as nobody was going to live in a home with outdated and retro appliances — but sees the home as a work of art.

"I can't even say the word investment — I'm going to say liability," she told The Wall Street Journal, motioning to how potential buyers attracted by the home's cultural cachet are getting older. "I asked my 27-year-old tennis instructor, 'Have you heard of 'The Brady Bunch?' He's like, 'Yeah, Wayne Brady?' I'm like, 'Noooo.'"

"Nobody is going to live in it," she told The Wall Street Journal. "No one is going in there to make pork chops and applesauce in that kitchen. Anything you might do to make the house livable would take away from what I consider artwork."

While the bulk of the show was actually filmed at Paramount's studio in Hollywood, exterior shots of the house were featured throughout the show and in the opening credits.

"The most common thing the public doesn't realize is that this house was never used to film the show, it was only used in the opening credits," Brown, the listing agent for the property, told Insider.

Here's a look around the iconic property.

The exterior of "The Brady Bunch" home was featured in the show's credits.

The property was originally listed for $5.5 million. It just sold for $3.2 million.

The interior was renovated by HGTV, which acquired the property in 2018 for $3.2 million.

HGTV renovated the home to make it look just like the show's set for the 2019 release of "A Very Brady Renovation."

If you were around to watch the show, which aired from 1969 to 1974, then you'll recognize the staircase.

The house's interior had undergone meticulous renovations to replicate the set of "The Brady Bunch" as part of HGTV's "A Very Brady Renovation," a 2019 miniseries featuring six of the surviving actors from the original sitcom. 

Another feature that might evoke memories of old: the bright orange Formica kitchen counters.

The curated furnishings were set to be included in the sale, too.

The property offers the high ceilings, big windows, and the sliding glass doors of the Paramount Studio's set.

Fans of the show often visit the property, some of whom have taken to Yelp to describe the piece of American TV history.

Here is one of the property's five bedrooms, but keep in mind the lamps might not be in working order, as some of the appliances and fixtures are decorative only, according to the listing.

Said one fan of the home on Yelp: "Was in the area and swung by to snap a photo in front of the house. It looked just like it did on the show - far out," commented one user in February. "There was a security guard in a car in the driveway, who was very friendly and told us how close we could get for pictures."

This is one of the home's five bathrooms. It connected the Brady kids' rooms.

Due to the high-profile nature of the home, viewings were by appointment only.

Greg Brady was the eldest of the bunch, known as a sort of ladies' man. He secured his own room in the attic by season four.

Prospective buyers had to "provide proof of funds prior to confirming showing," according to the original listing.

The citrus trees that line the backyard of "The Brady Bunch" home also come with the property.

Soon, people at LA charity events might be able to get their own glimpse of the home if the new owner follows through on her plans.

Trahan was represented in the purchase by Marcy Roth and Fredrik Eklund of the Eklund-Gomes realty group, according to a spokesperson.

Trahan, a self-proclaimed "Brady Bunch" fan told The Wall Street Journal that she felt the property was overpriced. "Nobody is going to live in it," she said. "Anything you might do to make the house livable would take away from what I consider artwork."
