'Brady Bunch's' Jan sells home bought for $55K for $3.9M

MALIBU, Calif. (AP) — Jan may have always played second fiddle to older sister Marcia on "The Brady Bunch," but she may be tops when it comes to real-estate investing.

The Los Angeles Times reports actress Eve Plumb, who played Jan on the 1970s sitcom, has sold a Malibu beach house for $3.9 million, 47 years after buying it for $55,300 at the age of 11 in 1969.

The newspaper reports the three-bedroom, 850-square foot cottage built in the 1950s went on the market earlier this year for $4.15 million. The listing included renderings showing how the home could be reshaped into an ultramodern residence.

A spokesman for Plumb's broker, Deasy/Penner & Partners, tells Today.com the location of the home is the property's "most notable feature."
