The owners of the Simi Valley home from the 1982 horror film “Poltergeist” have accepted an offer on the property just days after it was listed for $1.175 million.
But the sale price is still unknown.
Located in the Forest Hills neighborhood, this 2,373 square foot home has four bedrooms and three bathrooms. It sits on a third acre plus lot with a backyard pool and spa.
The house was newly built when it sold in October 1979 for $143,500.
“Well loved by its original owners, this charming … home is ready to welcome a new family, minus the spooky antics, we promise,” the listing reads, with a winking reference to the film Steven Spielberg dreamed up and directed . by Tobe Hooper.
While it’s sure to evoke vivid memories of supernatural mayhem in a neighborhood of rows and rows of ordinary middle-class homes in mostly barren hills, there’s nothing eerie or unsettling about the actual setting.
Natural light flows into the living room through large windows. The formal dining room leads to the kitchen, which remains as it was on film, but with updated appliances.
A fireplace warms the family room, which has a built-in office space but can function as a fifth bedroom.
The primary bedroom upstairs has a vaulted ceiling and a spa-inspired bathroom with a large soaking tub, double sinks and a separate shower. There is also a cloakroom.
Lauren Murdock of Equity Union is the listing agent.
