The iconic Brady Bunch house, one of the most instantly recognizable homes in television history, has been taken off the real estate market. The house, which is located in the charming neighborhood of Studio City, California, boasts five bedrooms and bathrooms, offering a glimpse into the world of nostalgic TV memories. The property was listed for an asking price of $5.5 million; however, Compass listing agent Danny Brown revealed that the house found its new owner, art collector and property owner Tina Trahan, who bought it for $3.2 million. In a recent interview, Trahan, who had once criticized the purchase as one of her worst investments, has taken a significant turnaround on her initial stance. The owner says buying the house was a good investment despite some issues Youtube video screenshot The art connoisseur told PEOPLE that she initially regarded the property as a poor investment due to its lack of functionality as a conventional residential home. "None of the appliances work," Trahan admitted. "The range doesn't work, the stove doesn't work, the oven doesn't work. There's literally nothing ... Nothing is functioning. It's all decorative. So I think that's pretty funny. You couldn't make anything if you wanted to."

"When I was buying it, I wasn't thinking, 'Oh, it was a great investment,'" she added. "When I buy art, it's because I love the art. It's not because, 'Oh, I'm going to make money on this.' If you're going to make money in art, you have to sell it. I buy art, and then I don't sell it." Youtube video screenshot Tina Trahan says she does not have plans to renovate the 'Brady Bunch' House The property investor revealed that even though the house is in bad shape, she has no plans to refurbish the home or its appliances as it will ruin its originality. "Never will I ever touch one thing," Trahan detailed. "I was telling someone, 'If you bring a flat-screen TV into the house, it's no longer The Brady Bunch. There's a lot of value in this for a lot of people that care about it. And HGTV put in a lot of time, effort, and money into the house to make it the way it is... I find that incredibly valuable." Youtube video screenshot Trahan also shared her intention to open the house to the public and donate its revenue to charity organizations. "That would be a huge revenue stream for charities," she confessed. "It brings so much joy, and it makes so many people happy, just like The Brady Bunch did."
