Historic 'Poltergeist' Home in Simi Valley Listed for the First Time Since 1979

The legendary house that brought chills to audiences in the 1982 horror classic "Poltergeist" is now up for sale. Nestled at 4267 Roxbury St. in Simi Valley, California, this iconic property is making its market debut, having been under the care of its original owners since its construction in 1979.

For those who remember the eerie events depicted in the film, rest assured—there are no real-life hauntings here. The 2,373-square-foot home, which features four bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, is being listed for $1,174,999. Represented by Equity Union’s Lauren Murdock, the property offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of cinematic history.

The house, which has remained largely unchanged since its appearance on the big screen, includes a formal dining room that leads to the well-known kitchen—still in its original form. While the staircase seen in the film was a Hollywood creation, the real one remains intact, preserving the home's nostalgic charm.

“This beloved home, cared for by its original owners, is now ready to embrace a new family—minus the supernatural activity,” says Murdock. “Its exterior is instantly recognizable to fans, as it was the backdrop for the suburban family drama where ghosts abducted their young daughter, portrayed by Heather O’Rourke.”

For movie buffs and real estate enthusiasts alike, this is a rare chance to own a home with a story, albeit without the spirits.
