Los Angeles, CA - March 30, 2026 - Drew and Jonathan Scott, the faces behind HGTV's hit show "Property Brothers," have announced the completion of the first phase of a truly unique renovation project: meticulously restoring and updating iconic homes previously featured in some of television's most beloved sitcoms. The project, which began filming in late 2025 and officially launched on March 29th, is already captivating fans with its blend of nostalgia and modern design.

Initially focusing on the homes made famous by "New Girl" and "Full House," the Scott brothers aren't simply giving these properties a facelift; they are undertaking remarkably detailed reconstructions, aiming to preserve the essence of the original sets while enhancing their functionality for 21st-century living. The project differs significantly from their typical house flips, placing a strong emphasis on historical preservation of television history, rather than solely maximizing property value.

"It's one thing to renovate a house for a family," explains Jonathan Scott during a recent interview. "But to renovate a piece of pop culture? That's a different beast altogether. The fans have a very specific idea of what these homes should look like. Our challenge was to honor that while making the spaces livable and relevant today."

The "Full House" project has been particularly poignant for fans. The iconic San Francisco Victorian, instantly recognizable from the show's opening credits, had fallen into disrepair over the years. The Scott brothers painstakingly recreated the living room's distinctive color scheme, patterned wallpaper, and even sourced period-appropriate furniture to match the original set design. However, they also subtly integrated modern amenities like updated kitchen appliances, smart home technology, and energy-efficient windows - all concealed within the nostalgic framework.

The "New Girl" loft, located in downtown Los Angeles, presented a different set of challenges. While the loft maintained a relatively modern aesthetic even during the show's run, the renovation focused on upgrading the space for a larger family, addressing issues of functionality and flow. The brothers expanded the kitchen, added a dedicated home office, and created a more defined living space without sacrificing the loft's signature quirky charm.

"We really dug into the show's set designs, pouring over old photos and filming footage," Drew Scott stated in a press release. "We wanted to capture the feel of the shows - the warmth, the humor, the sense of family - and translate that into the physical space."

This venture isn't without its complications. Sourcing materials that accurately match the original sets proved difficult, particularly for the "Full House" home, given the age of the show and the limited availability of vintage products. The team employed skilled artisans to recreate specific details, like custom moldings and handcrafted furniture pieces, ensuring authenticity.

The success of the initial two renovations has spurred discussions about expanding the project to include other iconic television homes. Rumors are swirling that the Scott brothers are in negotiations to tackle the "Brady Bunch" house and potentially even the "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" mansion. Fan requests have been flooding social media, with many suggesting their favorite childhood show homes for future renovations.

Industry analysts predict this unique approach to renovation could open up a new niche market within the home improvement industry. "There's a huge demand for nostalgic experiences," says interior design expert, Eleanor Vance. "People are craving comfort and familiarity in a rapidly changing world. Renovating these iconic homes taps into that desire, offering a tangible connection to cherished memories."

The renovated homes will be featured in a special multi-episode series on HGTV, premiering in late April. The series will not only showcase the stunning transformations but also delve into the history of the shows and the cultural impact of these beloved television families. Beyond the television series, the Scott brothers are exploring the possibility of opening the renovated homes to the public for limited-time tours, offering fans an immersive experience and a chance to walk through their favorite TV memories. The demand is already enormous, with pre-registration lists quickly filling up.

This project represents a departure for the Property Brothers, moving beyond simple property investment to celebrate cultural heritage and fan engagement. It's a testament to the enduring power of television and the homes that have become synonymous with our collective memories.
