‘Poltergeist’ house in Simi Valley finds a buyer after 45 years

The owners of the Simi Valley house from the 1982 horror film “Poltergeist” have accepted an offer on the property just days after listing it for $1.175 million.

But the sales price is still unknown.

Located in the Forest Hills neighborhood, this 2,373-square-foot house 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, without the ghostly antics, we promise,” reads the listing, with a wink-wink reference to the film dreamed up by Steven Spielberg and directed by Tobe Hooper.

While it’s sure to bring back vivid memories of supernatural mayhem in a neighborhood of rows and rows of ordinary middle-class homes in mostly barren hills, there is nothing eerie or unsettling feel about the actual setting.

Natural light floods 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 boasts a built-in office space but can double as a fifth bedroom.

The upstairs primary bedroom has a vaulted ceiling and spa-inspired bathroom with a large bathtub, dual sinks and a separate shower. There’s also a walk-in closet.

Lauren Murdock of Equity Union is the listing agent.
