The 1,846-square-foot home had a starring role in the Netflix series "Stranger Things" as the original residence of the Byers family — Will, Joyce, and Jonathan. Within the show's universe, the house is located in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana.

The 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom abode is in need of a "full rehab" and is located on a 6.17 acre lot, according to the listing from eXp Realty agent Michael Smith.

Smith told the New York Post that the seven siblings who owned the home and grew up on the property "don't have the capacity to fix it up and turn it into an attraction or an Airbnb," so they opted to sell it to give someone else a chance to do that.

The house "had been in their family their whole lives," according to Smith, who estimated that necessary repairs and renovations on the over 100-year-old residence would cost somewhere between $50,000 and $100,000.

Approximately a week after it was listed, the home is now under contract for almost double its asking price, TriCounty Real Estate agent Katie Siplon, who is based in Savannah, confirmed to Insider.

The listing says that the "potential return on investment" on the home could be "huge," highlighting its potential as an Airbnb, short term rental, or personal residence.

Sure enough, Siplon told Insider that her client plans to immediately turn the property into a "'Stranger Things' Halloween walkthrough" and put up temporary attractions in the woods.

Siplon said that the client then plans on recreating the home from the inside out, exactly as it appears in the series. Some photos on the home's interior in the listing showed off the iconic alphabet wall from the series, which Joyce Byers uses to communicate with her son Will in season one.

Siplon told Insider that her client, who is an investor, made a cash offer on the home and that she had to "fight pretty hard" to secure the sale, which she said is expected to close by mid-October.

Siplon said that the client also plans to add other "Stranger Things" details on the property itself, creating a miniature version of Hawkins, Indiana with replicas of other houses from the show.

The listing also features graphics of the home's address in a font reminiscent of that used in the "Stranger Things" title sequence.

One photo of the fireplace even features an edited-in Vecna, the villain from season four of "Stranger Things."

According to the listing, the house received frequent visits from fans of the series, to the extent that its existing owners had to put up a barricade in the driveway and "private property" signs.

On TikTok, listing agent Michael Smith shared a video of the property set to Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill," which featured prominently in season four of "Stranger Things."
