Netflix’s “Stranger Things” may be coming to an end, but the Wheeler family’s fictional home is beginning a new season.
This two-story home in Atlanta’s East Point suburb served as the home of the series’ central family for five legendary seasons. As luck would have it, Netflix actually owned it, listed it for $350,000 — and just sold it to two “Stranger Things” fans for $365,000, according to Zillow.
The new owners, an unnamed local couple, told Homes.com that they are avid fans of the show, and drove by the “Wheeler House” often. Their heartfelt letter to Netflix — and offering $15,000 over the asking price — seems to have sealed the deal.

The series was a runaway hit when it launched in 2016. The sci-fi horror series, set against a nostalgic backdrop of 1980s suburbia, told the story of young group of friends who face off with terrifying parallel dimensions and secret government experiments.
The two-story home of Mike Wheeler, played by Finn Wolfhard, was a go-to spot for the series’ young leads — its basement hosted Dungeons & Dragons campaigns and served as a hideout for Eleven, a girl with telekinetic abilities, portrayed by new mom Millie Bobby Brown.
Property records indicate that Netflix Studios LLC shelled out $425,000 to purchase the property, located in East Point’s Cheviot Hills neighborhood, in 2021.
While the real-life home does offer a basement, according to the listing, only the facade was featured in the series — as is typical in film and television production. Interior scenes at the Wheeler home were shot on a set in Atlanta.

It includes four bedrooms and three bathrooms across roughly 2,500 square feet, according to the listing.
The home hit the market in late August for $350,000, with Hall Carey, an agent at Atlanta Fine Homes Sotheby’s International Realty, representing the sellers.
It entered into contract in less than a month.
One of the new owners told Homes.com she previously starred as an extra on the series, which largely filmed in the Atlanta area. She came across the property listing on social media.
“We didn’t think it would ever be possible,” she told the outlet.
“We are growing our family through adoption and hope that our children will enjoy their childhood just as much as the Wheeler kids did,” the letter said. “We will honor the neighborhood and the legacy of this house and will be available for any future projects and/or reunions.”
The couple’s agent, Giovany Gonzalez-Rios of BHHS Georgia Properties, told the outlet that the couple was “ecstatic,” when they got the confirmation.

The modest three-bedroom spent just a week on the market before it found its own fan-turned-owner with a premium offer.
