Marcia, Marcia, Marcia! Jan Sold Her House for $3.9 Million

Here's a story of a wise investor.

In 1969, when Eve Plumb was 11 years old and busy playing perennial middle child Jan on "The Brady Bunch," she bought a beach house in Malibu, CA. for $55,300. Last week, she sold the house for $3.9 million. Adjusting for inflation, Plumb made over 10 times her original investment on the property.

The house, an 850 square foot cottage, built in the 1950's, is a far cry from its flashier neighbors. But the house sits on some prime property - Escondido Beach.

According to Page Six, the buyer intends to tear down Plumb's house and build a 3,500 ultramodern abode with floor-to-ceiling windows and a retractable "moon roof."

"This was one of the highest prices ever paid for an undeveloped lot in Malibu," Justin Juarez, a spokesman for the real estate firm said. "Both we and the sellers felt this was an amazing price to attain for this humble beach cottage!"�

The New York Daily News reports that at the time Plumb bought the property with the help of her parents, she was starting her five-year-run on "The Brady Bunch," but was already a veteran child actor with credits on "Gunsmoke" and "The Big Valley" on her resume.

The sale is a welcome windfall for the 58-year-old actress who never received a dime of residual payment for any of the re-runs of "The Brady Bunch."
