The Poltergeist House is Finally Up For Sale

For the first time in over 40 years, a significant piece of Hollywood horror history is available for purchase. The house that served as the iconic exterior setting for the 1982 classic Poltergeist has been listed for sale at $1,174,999. Located at 4267 Roxbury Street in Simi Valley, California, this property offers a unique opportunity for film enthusiasts and homebuyers alike.

While the interior scenes were filmed on a soundstage, the exterior of this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence is immediately recognizable to anyone familiar with the Steven Spielberg-written supernatural thriller. It’s the same facade where the haunting first began for the ill-fated Freeling family, minus the gnarled tree from the movie looming ominously over the property.

Inside, the bedrooms offer ample space for relaxation – though new owners might want to double-check under the beds for any clown dolls left behind.

This 2,373 square-foot home has remained untouched in the hands of its original owners for over 40 years – well before those first bone-chilling utterances of “They’re here” became forever etched into the minds of moviegoers.

The home sits on an impressive 16,000-square-foot lot, offering ample space for entertainment. A large pool and spa add to the property’s appeal, perfect for those warm California days (though new owners may want to inspect it carefully for any…skeletal remnants before taking a dip). The three-car garage provides plenty of room for vehicles and storage.

For potential buyers, this property represents more than just a home purchase. It’s a rare opportunity to be part of film history and to live in a space that has captured the imagination of millions. The “Poltergeist” house offers a unique blend of suburban comfort and silver screen pedigree.

In the world of Hollywood real estate, where every home has a story, the “Poltergeist” house stands out as a true original. It’s not just a piece of property; it’s a piece of cinematic history.

The house is being listed by Lauren Murdock of Equity Union. You can check out the house by visiting Realtor.com
