LOS ANGELES _ After years of "Marcia, Marcia, Marcia," Jan is finally having her moment in the sun. Actress-painter Eve Plumb of "The Brady Bunch" fame has sold her home in Malibu for $3.9 million after decades of ownership.
Though she played the part of awkward middle child to a T on the sitcom, it appears the actress was quite savvy away from the set. An 11-year-old Plumb, with the help of her parents, bought the oceanfront property in 1969 for just $55,300.
Sitting at the south end of Escondido Beach, the 1950s cottage returned to market earlier this year with plans for an ultramodern residence designed by Meis Architects, designer of the Staples Center, among other venues.
Renderings that accompanied the listing showed a cantilevered design with walls of floor-to-ceiling glass, a retractable "moon roof" and two-story garage wrapped in perforated metal. In all, the proposed home would have three bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms in 3,500 square feet of space.
Currently, the flat-roofed bungalow has three bedrooms and 1.75 bathrooms in 850 square feet of space. An expansive deck wraps the exterior of the home, taking in the wide, sandy beach.
The property was most recently listed for sale at $4.15 million.
Plumb, 58, has television credits that also include "The Love Boat," "Fantasy Island" and "Fudge." She appeared in the TV special "Grease: Live" this year.
