“It’s the definition of surreal," he added. "They created a home that we only have in our memory now because it was just a set." All six of the original kids on "The Brady Bunch" reunited for the first time in decades to help renovate their TV home together. The HGTV stars nailed every detail of replicating the iconic Brady home entrance. Wood paneling and furniture was extremely popular during the era of "The Brady Bunch," and a lot of it was installed in the house for the final reveal. Wood paneling has made a comeback in today's homes, but with different hues and stains for a gentler look.

“The Power of the Dog” ranch was purposefully built for the movie

You can drive by the iconic TV house and admire it from a respectful distance, but you can’t go inside to visit The Brady Bunch house. The property is not open to the public and it doesn’t seem like it will be anytime soon. As for the rest of the space, amazingly, the team didn’t have any of the original plans so had to design the interiors from images and video of the set. Soon after HGTV bought the Brady Bunch house, HGTV took us a trip down memory lane with the limited series A Very Brady Renovation which brought together the actors from the popular TV show to renovate their fictional childhood home. However, though the exterior shot of the home is certainly one of the show’s most used and most recognizable, it’s the only one actually filmed here. All of the action that takes place inside the house and in the garden was recorded on stage five at Paramount Studios in Hollywood.

Extreme care and attention to detail were employed to replicate the original decor, down to the avocado green appliances and the groovy floral wallpaper in the girls’ bedroom. In addition, artisans were hired to recreate outdated items, and the floating stairs were built to be the focal point of the midcentury modern open floor plan. HGTV stars, like Drew and Jonathan Scott of The Property Brothers, took part in completing the flipping of the home.

The cast, alongside HGTV stars, helped gut the house while the crew painstakingly reproduced the set’s rooms and 1970s decor — right down to cabinet hardware. The house’s fictional address is 4222 Clinton Way, but the real-life house used for exterior shots of The Brady Bunch home is located at Dilling St, Studio City in California. The grown-up Brady Bunch kids and HGTV’s top designers have completed a massive renovation of the home seen in the ABC sitcom’s opening shots — just in time for the 1969–74 TV classic’s 50th anniversary. “Reportedly it is the 2nd most photographed home in the USA after the White House. Own a piece of pop culture history and pay homage to American sitcom television," the listing added. The first episode of the TV limited series also focused on the heart of the home—living room, dining room, and the staircase.

"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,'" she said. Before HGTV bought the home in 2018, NSYNC singer Lance Bass reportedly bid on the famous house and thought he had initially won the bid. Once “The Brady Bunch” was picked up for an entire season, the establishing shots of the new house were taken. He fought with the producers so bitterly and so often that he was actually cut out of the final episode of the series. He said he got a lot of letters from kids over the years asking if they could live with the Bradys. The show’s theme song was sung by professional singers in the first season.

Mike Lookinland (Bobby Brady) joined them for a bit to help build the home's two-sided fireplace. When the show's producers chose the house back in 1969, it was only for the exterior. But after the massive renovation, the interiors are an exact match to the original "Brady Bunch" set. This was important to her because "Alice was sort of a selfless character in the show, we saw some of her life, but it’s really nice to think we could pamper Alice a little bit," Plumb told "GMA." Eve Plumb, who played Jan Brady on the 70s TV show, helped re-create Alice's bedroom.

It took a grueling seven months to transform the home, including adding over 2,000 square feet to the back of the home to account for each room. Every furnishing was also chosen to meticulously match what was in the original episodes. The home has now been re-landscaped, in an attempt to keep trespassers and avid Brady fans at bay.

The Brady Bunch is about a blended Los Angeles family that consists of six children. The popular sitcom continued to play on our screens all the way up until March 1974. Following the end of the sitcom which showed on ABC, there were a few spinoffs and movies that kept the Brady name alive, and the show was also shown in countries aside from the US. An elderly woman now lives in the house, and in 2016 she experienced a scary event when two intruders attempted to rob the home. Fortunately, she was able to call the police and the intruders fled the scene without causing too much damage. "I can't even say the word investment — I'm going to say liability," she told the Journal, referring to how potential buyers attracted by the home's cultural cachet were getting older.

Or simply use it as inspiration for your own TV-inspired home makeover and donation. Brown added that no intellectual property rights of "The Brady Brunch" were included in the sale but that Trahan, the home's new owner, was a big "Brady Brunch" fan who also happened to be a collector of architecturally interesting homes. Aside from Trahan, other interested parties who had come to see the house included potential buyers who wanted to turn the property into a rental home. The single-family house, located in Los Angeles' Studio City neighborhood, dates back to 1959 and was rebuilt by the HGTV network. He said the team eventually came up with the home value by basing their estimate on the values of the land the property stood on and the structure of the house itself. The network documented the process on “A Very Brady Renovation,” which featured the six actors who played the Brady children.

The “Brady kids” began performing it in Season Two, and the lyrics were changed accordingly. Located on a quiet residential block, property also borders the Los Angeles River, which is a unique street-to-river orientation. This iconic residence is reportedly the 2nd most photographed home in the United States after the White House. Featuring perfectly preserved 1970s decor, it boasts one of the largest lots in the neighborhood — over 12,500 sqft.

Knight and Plumb stepped in when it was time to search for additional furnishing, like the chairs. The final detail was contributed by Plumb, who painted her own versions of the street scenes that were seen on the show. ” Spencer teamed up with Plumb to recreate Alice’s room, which is located at the back of the house.

Earlier this year, the iconic home from The Brady Bunch was put up for sale and bought by HGTV. Now, the house and its famous facade are getting a total remodel from your favorite stars—including the Property Brothers! —with the hopes that the finished product will look just like the sets from the show. The entire process will be filmed for a special called A Very Brady Renovation, which is set to premiere in September 2019.

Today, Lookinland owns his own concrete worktop business named Just Add Water, where he works with his son Scott. Knight then pursued a career in computing and IT, and as an account sales manager, for around 20 years. After growing tired of the industry, he decided to move back to LA and give acting another go. He appeared in several shows but most recently, he is starring in a comedy stage show called Dinner at Five, which takes place in Palm Desert at the Indian Wells Theater.

What The Brady Bunch House Looks Like Now After Renovation

Last, but not least, the third episode showed viewers how the Good Bones hosts, plus Olsen and Lookinland, reimagined the backyard. The two actors recalled childhood memories of playing on the teeter-totter and spending time inside the doghouse, which they helped build. Olsen also picked out the artificial turf that was installed, and her TV siblings loved it.

Alatskivi Castle

Built in 1959, the mid-century modern home includes five bedrooms and five bathrooms across a total of 5,140 square feet. Outside, the backyard was outfitted with a swing set, teeter-totter, and Tiger’s dog house. Located at Dilling Street in North Hollywood, the house was used on the classic show mainly for exterior shots. In 2018, HGTV bought the 2,500-square foot ranch house for $3.5 million—double the original listing price. Another $2 million was spent on the remodeling project, which was documented in the four-part series A Very Brady Renovation.

The contrast between modern technology and communication decades ago became apparent to viewers as the renovation took us a step back in time. Practically obsolete technology made its comeback over the course of the show. A city was never specifically mentioned as to where the Brady’s actually lived, but it’s pretty much a given that they reside in LA. There’s always mentions of the city’s main sports teams such as Los Angeles Rams and Los Angeles Dodgers.

Brown told the Journal 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," such as on the TV series "A Very Brady Renovation." Iconic items like the green floral living room sofa and the credenza topped with a 3-D printed horse sculpture are included in the listing, which is managed by Danny Brown at Compass. The listing description notes that some items may not be included and "fireplaces and some appliances/fixtures are decorative only," so be prepared to make your own updates in those cases should you want working alternatives. And Alice (Ann B. Davis) returns to the Brady household after Sam leaves her for a younger woman, a story line that’s oddly played for laughs. In 2018, HGTV looked to meld the two realities and bought the house on Dilling St. for $3.5 million, nearly double the original asking price. The channel outbid Hollywood celebrities, including former ‘N Sync member Lance Bass.

So if you plan to visit the house to get a glimpse into the life of a Brady family member, you may be disappointed to see that the property looks a little different than it used to. "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. The buyer, Tina Trahan, told the Journal she was a fan of the show but didn't plan to live in the house — she said she wanted to use it for fundraising and charitable events.

What were the names of the Brady Bunch family (the cast)?

HGTV will use a portion of the proceeds from the sale for 250,000 meals for Turn Up! Fight Hunger, an initiative that helps kids living with hunger in the U.S. through No Kid Hungry. Items from the restored home, including customized pieces like the green floral living room couch and the credenza with a 3D printed horse sculpture, will be available for purchase. The process ended up being a trip down memory lane for not only them but millions of television viewers who grew up watching the classic show. Bringing a famous television home back to life was not an easy feat, however.

Mr. Brady and his three sons lived at 4222 Clinton Way, but the name of the town/city was never specified on the show. And while we don’t know the final sale price quite yet (nor do we know who the lucky buyer might be), we’ll make sure to update you as soon as the sale goes through and more information becomes available. As for the kitchen where the Bradys shared their breakfast and their woes every morning before skewl, it stands proud in all of its sage green and tangerine orange glory, with complimenting floral glassware and a fully stocked fridge. Firstly, I can’t stress enough the painstaking detail that went into bringing the original Brady Bunch house back to life in just 307 days. Everything has been recreated down to the finest detail and I mean the absolute finest. "Mid-century is such a massive part of what we do and how we design, so this is our main influence," she told People.

Fans of the show often visit the property, some of whom have taken to Yelp to describe the piece of American TV history. Danny Brown of Compass listed the home, while Marcy Roth of the Eklund Gomes team at Douglas Elliman shared the sale with Fredrik Eklund. Trahan did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Insider via Roth. The iconic floating staircase is begging to be the backdrop of your next family photo. The Brady Bunch first aired on September 26, 1969, and ran until March 8, 1974.

The Journal reported that a 53-year-old fan named Tina Trahan had purchased the property. The outlet says she's a home enthusiast who's the wife of a former HBO chief executive. The bedroom built to resemble the Brady brothers' room features a bunk bed and another bed, all decked out in blue bedspreads, while another bedroom for the Brady sisters includes three beds in matching pink bed linen. I watched endless hours of “Brady Bunch” episodes, specials, and movies to take these screenshots of the sets. I also found some popping up a lot around the internet without attribution and enlarged/edited them to make them easier to see, so thanks to whoever originally took them. A portion of the proceeds from the sale will “help provide up to 250,000 meals for Turn Up!

It was based on a blended family with Carol Martin Brady having three girls, and Mike Brady having three sons. The family also had a live-in maid named Alice Nelson, whose character was a major part of the show’s success and appeal. Notable cameos during the show’s run included Davy Jones, Don Drysdale, Jim Backus (Mr. Howell), Joe Namath, Don Ho, Vincent Price, Marion Ross, Ken Berry, Wes Parker, and Desi Arnaz Jr. David Zaslav, the CEO of HGTV parent company Discovery, announced on Tuesday’s second-quarter earnings call that the network had purchased the house that was recently on the market. Unfortunately, they were unable to secure the rights to some of the episodes, including “Our Son, the Man,” in which Greg moved into the attic. Two Master Suites, one up/one down plus generous entertaining spaces that flow uniformly from one to the next and to the outdoors.

HGTV said the home will come with “many of its contents, including customized pieces such as the green floral living room couch and the credenza with a 3-D printed horse sculpture.” The house will be available for sale beginning this month. So, whilst the kids’ rooms on set were originally located behind the front door, now, they’re on the second story of the house for real. The kitchen toaster, the huge stuffed giraffe in the girls’ bedroom, a miniature bust figurine on Mr. and Mrs. Brady’s headboard, and even a set of oversized plastic orange grapes were displayed neatly on the living room coffee table. The same episode also featured the construction of the Brady's signature avocado green-and-orange kitchen. Restored by the Fords stars, Leanne and Steve Ford, took the lead and worked alongside Plumb. The actress picked out the green paint for the kitchen table's tulip-style chairs and chose a matte orange laminate from a curated selection.

The three-bedroom, three-bath home, located in L.A.’s San Fernando Valley, hit the market in July 2018. In an HGTV development meeting, production exec Robert Wimbish pitched the idea of buying it —which the network did, for $3.5 million, nearly twice the asking price after a bidding war. So when HGTV stepped up, it was like, thank you.” says Jonathan Scott of the network’s the Property Brothers. “Once in a lifetime opportunity to own one of the most iconic single family residences in the world. Meticulously rebuilt and designed to replicate the set of the home from the beloved 1970s sitcom ‘The Brady Bunch,’” the Redfin listing for the property said in May. The home transformed on HGTV’s A Very Brady Renovation hit the market in May 2023 for a listing price of $5.5 million!

The interior of a floating house isn’t much different from a standard-looking home. They can be sleek and modern with floor-to-ceiling windows or embrace a more cozy cabin look with wood-paneling and a fireplace. Some floating houses have multiple stories, or they may be quaint single-story cottages.

If you are looking for a home in the East Bay and are ready to think out-of-the-box, consider buying a floating home in the East Bay. Who knows, this time next year you might find yourself enjoying early morning sunrises, stunning sunsets, and gorgeous views surrounded by all the comforts of your very special and unique floating East Bay home. Architect Eric Cobb was hired to design this 1,800-square-foot floating home for a Seattle couple.

Before permanently mooring homes on a dock, houses were anchored to the shore. During the 1930s and 1940s, floating homes became particularly popular due to their building affordability and ability to provide low-cost housing options. It’s so quiet around Sawley that you’ll think you’re in the middle of nowhere. But it’s actually an easy spot to commute from – you’re only a short drive from Nottingham, Leicester and Derby, and there’s great road links to East Midlands airport, Long Eaton train station and the M1. For hangouts by the water, there is Café Blue - a daytime licensed café serving breakfast, lunch and cake.

There’s nothing like the sense of freedom, simplicity, and self-sufficiency that comes from charting a course and casting anchor in a sea, lake, or river. Floating homes are also resilient by nature, and they can help address some of the most pressing issues of our time, like flooding and rising sea levels. Read on to explore 20 charming dwellings that make a strong case for nautical living.

"It's a very special house where people immediately get, you know, emotionally connected when they're there." Designed by LA architect William King and built in 1982, the listing comes with several gathering spaces in and around the home, with charming gardens, a wraparound deck and a garage that could be used as studio space. Priory Waterside & Marina sits on the banks of the Great River Ouse, in the 250-acre Priory Country Park. Here, immersed in nature, it’s easy to forget that the shops, museum and theatres of Bedford are close enough to walk to. With excellent road links and just 40 minutes from London by train, Priory Waterside & Marina is the perfect blend of town and country. Whether you're looking for a new permanent home or a home away from home, we have a range of options available so you can find the perfect waterside retreat to suit you.

Most of the East Bay marinas are conveniently located, and offer the advantage of an easy commute for the resident that must work for a living. Only minutes away from San Francisco and other Bay Area locations by way of surface roads and BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit), Barnhill Marina and Berkeley Marina are centrally located in the hub of East Bay activity. The San Pablo Yacht Harbor at Point San Pablo is further north and perfectly situated for travel to Marin County via the Richmond-San Rafael Bridge as well as other East Bay locations. Floating off Westlake Avenue, the 728-square-foot property includes a beautifully designed kitchen (with a dishwasher), a quaint master bedroom, a sleeping loft, and a spacious living area with a fireplace. In the U.S., it seems like most floating home communities are located in the Pacific Northwest, California’s Bay Area, and Massachusetts.

Like with any other house, the materials used to make it and how durable it is will affect how sustainable a floating house is in the long run. But in general, building a floating home can be more sustainable than building a standard house, because it disrupts nature far less. That's because no land needs to be cleared, and habitats are not disturbed (or at least, they are disturbed far less).

In some states, floating homes aren’t considered “real property,” meaning you may not have to pay property taxes. They may be classified as “personal property,” so you may have to pay personal property tax instead. However, tax laws change all the time, so it’s important to speak with a tax professional to learn about your state, county, and city tax laws. Floating homes range in price – anywhere from $30,000 to upwards of $1 million. The initial price largely depends on the house’s size, location, and features.

If you can’t get enough of those guaranteed water views, it may be worth the trade-offs! From charming, petite houseboats to floating homes that look as though they’re on solid ground, these properties come complete with a laid-back lifestyle you’ll love. All homes require maintenance, but floating houses have special considerations. For example, the more furnishings you add to the home, or if you’re undertaking a renovation project, you’ll likely need more flotation pieces added to the bottom of the moorage. You’ll also need to pay attention to your home’s siding as it can become damaged from excess moisture.

Crick Waterside & Marina is a really peaceful spot – but there’s still loads to do nearby. For commuters, you’re only a two minute drive from junction 18 of the M1 – although you wouldn’t know it once you’re here (seriously, it’s so quiet). You’ve also got Northampton and Rugby within easy reach, which you get to bycar or bus (the bus stop is at the bottom of our drive). But you don’t need to go that far for things to do – it’s only a couple of minutes’ walk into Crick, which is a lovely little village.

Most floating homes are equipped to support all the comforts of home, from gas to Wi-Fi. Some resemble typical houses, while others look like futuristic pods (more on those below), and some are more bare bones. The pandemic inspired a lot of people to change up their living situation, whether that meant moving somewhere with a yard, embracing a nomadic lifestyle filled with international travel, or getting into van life. But there’s another new way of life that is springing up — in the ocean, of all places — called floating homes.

A houseboat is a vessel with a motor that is not permanently docked in one area. This means a houseboat owner can move freely from one lake or river to the next. Living aboard a houseboat or in a floating home may sound romantic, but it isn't just for the footloose and fancy-free.

When you think of living in Seattle, you probably think of the Space Needle, Pike Place Market, endless coffee shops, and houses overlooking the water or even on the water. But the houseboats circa “Sleepless in Seattle” aren’t actually houseboats – they’re floating homes. And if you’re considering life on the water, is a floating home right for you? If you’re building a floating house from scratch, you’ll need to find moorage for rent or purchase.

This 59-foot houseboat was designed in 2019 by its architect owners on Regents Canal in London, England. Despite its tiny footprint, the dwelling is fully equipped for modern-day living with bright and airy interiors. This prefabricated floating house was designed by a team from the University of Coimbra in Portugal. In London’s Poplar Dock Marina sits a 1924 barge that has been transformed into a contemporary floating home with simple, sophisticated interiors. The historic Humber Keel cargo boat now contains two bedrooms, two baths, open living space, and terrace views.

The main commonality of a floating home’s exterior is that they are grounded to a floating foundation also called a moorage. They’re typically more rectangular, with a flatter roof and many windows. The exterior architecture can range from contemporary style to a rustic look. Many floating homes have balconies, a rooftop deck, or dock-side patios to embrace the waterfront views.

Floating homes are pod-style homes that are permanently erected on a body of water. These homes appear to be floating, but they are actually stabilized by long legs and/or a buoyant base.

Numerous sliding glass doors connect the interior with a wraparound deck, inviting residents to spend time outside during warmer months. Known as the Andante, this 1984 houseboat was treated to a complete renovation, and it now features two bedrooms, a well-equipped kitchen, and a large top deck. While the Andante has a nautical-inspired exterior, the interiors are finished in warm oak with Corian kitchen counters and stainless-steel appliances. This two-story residence by Mjölk Architekti floats in the heart of downtown Prague. The ground floor contains the kitchen, living areas, and bathroom, while the top floor houses a cozy bedroom nook with a skylight. The project was reconstructed from an old houseboat, and is anchored at the sailing club in Smichov.

Prague’s Atelier SAD developed the 1,076-square-foot houseboat with flexibility in mind—layouts can range from single-person dwellings to family-friendly homes. Ocean Builders is also working on the GreenPod and GreenPod Eco, which are essentially floating houses that float above land instead of water. These “futuristic treehouses” are “designed to coexist with nature” without causing harm. A floating house is a home located on a floating foundation and connected to utilities.

Homes within the city name or zip code you entered will populate the page, and you’ll be able to begin your search. The two-bed, two-bath home sits on a quarter-acre lot, and Putman boasted the gardens and terraces as a draw for potential buyers. Plus, it has a great view of the city, she said, making it the ultimate LA outdoor space. Putman said the architect does not design much anymore, but she believes this is one of his greatest homes. "This is definitely the exact kind of house where you would dream," Gambino said in an interview with USA TODAY.

Many people who fit the bill have come to see the house, but it has also attracted a wider range of potential buyers like a chef who would use it entertain, and other business people who are interested in the home as a piece of art. Buckden Waterside & Marina offers another view of the world, equally relaxing. A mature well-established site, surrounded by willow trees and excellent walks along the river. Good connections to the A14 and the A1 mean your holiday home won’t take long to get to, and there are many pubs and restaurants within a short drive of the marina.

At the turn of the century, the architectural, furniture, and wallpaper designs of Charles Francis Annesley Voysey became extremely popular. Cotswold homes of the 1700s inspired Voysey's Tudor cottage designs of the early 20th century. Voysey supported the use of stucco on wood framing for cladding in his Tudor designs. After 1920, the solid-stucco home-building technique was preferred; leaving behind the half-stone/masonry and half-timber patterns. Cottages grew out of the Picturesque architectural movement of England and Europe, starting in the late 1700s. Initially, the Picturesque style was used to describe buildings or landscapes inspired by scenes depicted in then-contemporary paintings, like those of French masters Claude Lorrain or Nicolas Poussin.

Shades of brown and green are prevalent Craftsman house colors, but other homes branch out with more vibrant exterior palettes.

Cottage Style Homes: When Cozy, Quaint, and Charming Collide

If your cottage has a second floor, you may have an attic space or another small bedroom. After designer Wendy Meredith and her husband, Cleve, bought this 1930s Atlanta cottage, she contacted Atlanta architect Brad Heppner. Most main areas connect to outdoor areas, and dormer windows create space without much height. As the name suggests, Craftsman-style homes are often celebrated for the workmanship that goes into their design and construction. Historically built using locally sourced materials, the exteriors frequently feature decorative elements such as exposed beams, prominent columns, and stone accents.

The restored front door features a hand-hewn feel and looks out on a concrete porch, which was given new cut marks to suggest stone-block construction.

Laurel, the house is in a community between Birmingham (our hometown!) and Double Oak Mountain. Architect Bill Ingram played to the woodsy locale with a dark gray palette. The corner lot allows for 900 square feet of porch area wrapped with a traditional X-railing and newel posts, a more modest way for carpenters to finish posts on-site.

"It was the sort of house you might drive by without noticing," says homeowner Caroline Little. "It had great bones but felt very outdated." Little knew the secret to the exterior makeover's success would be staying true to her home's existing 1941 structure.

The most famous of the villages of the Alpilles, Saint Remy de Provence , should not make us forget the 15 other villages which each has its particular charm as Maussane les Alpilles or Eygalières or Mouriès. In the heart of West Hollywood, this near-century-old modern home offers a sophisticated oasis near some of L.A.’s most sought-after hotspots. Sequestered behind a large privacy hedge and a gated driveway, the low-slung bungalow at 385 Huntley Drive was built in 1936 with Hollywood Regency and contemporary architecture styles. It has since been pared down to a minimalist bungalow that spills out into a lushly planted courtyards.

All home exteriors are different, but you can easily take bits and pieces from all these elegant and alluring Southern homes to add charm to your home exterior. Updating your home with a new paint color, adding a welcoming pineapple, or updating the shutters are just a few of our favorite ways to add beauty. Find exterior inspiration and ideas for stunning street views with our roundup of enviable home exteriors. Plucked from the pages of a storybook, this quaint cottage-style home uses architecture and landscaping to create casually beautiful curb appeal.

Create intimate conversation corners around fireplaces, embracing both warmth and charm in your living spaces. Arrange plush seating like comfortable sofas or overstuffed armchairs around the fireplace, creating a cozy and inviting atmosphere. Choose a mix of accent tables for convenience, allowing for the placement of books, candles, or mugs within easy reach. Cottage-style homes often borrow architectural elements from other house styles but showcase them on a smaller scale. For example, this home features Craftsman-style details, including the tapered square columns and brick accents, but the modest porch and colorful landscaping set a distinctive cottage tone.

The trellis treatment above the entrance offers shade that makes up for the lack of a front porch. Typically smaller than many other types of homes, these dwellings prioritize comfort and charm over opulence. In 2022, the Division of Water Resources at the Knoxville Environmental Field Office prepared a hydrologic features report for the company regarding the property. In 2016, the house was bought from the Astlings by Lovell Place at Cornerstone Dr., L.L.C. While not much is available about the company online, some interested in the property have speculated on the company's plans for it. David Galbraith sold the home to Randy and Deborah Astling in 1996, according to county records.

With a plan that would take years to complete, they decided to start with a guest house to provide lodging while building the main house and stables. The cottage's simple exterior is a prelude to the straightforward floor plan within the home. With its red brick, dormers, and second-story shutters, the neo-Georgian-style home is quintessential Americana. Its originality was important to the homeowners, who preserved existing design elements like the beautiful fretwork on the facade. But as the home’s first new owners in 40 years, they also had to endure some not-so-fun updates, too, like installing a new HVAC system, replacing sewer lines, and completing foundation work. The exterior of this 1927 residence has remained untouched since its construction, and its owners would like to keep it that way.

Brick accents on the cottage home exterior and pathway add charming texture and contrast. The square footage of a cottage can range from as little as 400 square feet to as much as 2,000 square feet or more. Small cottage house plans may have just one or two rooms, while a larger cottage may have three or four rooms, including bedrooms, bathrooms, and living areas. The 3,276-square-foot residence sits on 0.15 acres in Comstock Hills, a suburban enclave in the city’s Westwood neighborhood. Originally built in 1926, the home features four bedrooms and four full bathrooms, with a balcony, fireplace, and charming bathroom complete with a classic, claw-foot tub, per the listing.

The hilly, shaded neighborhood itself, designed without curbs or sidewalks, similarly lends a pulled-back-in-time, outside-city-limits essence. Building a cottage house can cost anywhere from $125+ to $250+ per square foot. This means a small, 800-square-foot cottage could cost as little as $100,000+ to build, while a larger, 2,000-square-foot cottage could cost as much as $500,000+ or more. At the base of the Sierra foothills lies the charming old west style town of Nevada City, another ‘gold mine’ era gem.

Matching the side exteriors to the shutter paint color on the main structure adds cohesion to the house. Early American Colonial-era architecture inspired this house's balanced symmetry. The one-story steeply pitched shake roof and bookending chimneys add to this distinct style. From there, architect Bill Ingram tweaked the home to reflect his style with asymmetrical windows, swooping roof overhangs, and serpentine-shaped brackets. Designer Mathew Bees' early-1900s home, developed in a toned-down Lowcountry and Palladian style, has paneled shutters with original operable hardware to offer a classic touch. The canopy trees provide a shady area in the front yard to place a dining table and chairs.
