About This Home

As of February 2025

Welcome to 14225 Poplar Hill Dr, a truly exceptional custom estate offering unparalleled luxury. Set on a pristine 10+ acre lot, accompanied by an additional side lot of lush greenery, this home is nestled in the prestigious Spring Meadows/Harlow community. The property strikes the perfect balance between privacy, comfort, and convenience—ideal for those who seek a serene sanctuary with easy access to everyday amenities. Situated at the end of a private, newly paved driveway, you are greeted by a covered foyer, with one side featuring an accent wall and the other framed by expansive windows, creating the ideal mudroom space. Inside, the home’s open floor plan is highlighted by soaring ceilings, oversized windows, and skylights that flood the space with natural light. The spacious two-level design ensures a seamless flow for both daily living and entertaining. The kitchen, bathed in natural light from three large windows offering stunning views of the property, is a chef's dream. It features sleek Silestone countertops, recessed-panel cabinetry, brand-new stainless steel appliances, a coffee bar, and a pantry with updated sliding doors. The kitchen opens into a bright sunroom with wall-to-wall windows, providing the perfect setting to relax while enjoying views of the surrounding woods. The formal dining area, with its trio of windows and additional china storage, is complemented by a powder room and convenient laundry space. The family room is a showstopper, with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a skylight. A soapstone hearth frames the fireplace, with a decorative stone surround and a wood mantle adding further elegance. The sunroom opens to a large fenced-in backyard, ideal and safe for children and pets. The two-story living room brings the outdoors in, with sliding doors that open to a raised deck—ideal for entertaining or simply enjoying the serene landscape. Upstairs, the open hardwood staircase leads to the private quarters, where the luxurious primary suite awaits. With soaring 12-foot ceilings, French doors, and a wall of windows, this tranquil retreat also includes his-and-her walk-in closets with custom built-in shelving. The spa-like primary bathroom boasts a soaking tub with jets, a separate shower, a double vanity with custom cabinetry, intricate tilework, and large casement windows for natural light. Two additional generously sized bedrooms with hardwood floors share a beautifully renovated full bathroom. The fully finished lower level offers even more versatile living space, including a fourth bedroom, a third full bathroom, a theater room, an office, and a sunroom/exercise room. The recreation room, with its cozy fireplace, is perfect for casual gatherings, while the fourth bedroom, with tall windows and a sliding door to the sunroom, enjoys plenty of natural light. The lower-level bathroom, featuring two separate vanities and toilets, adds further convenience. The office, with custom built-ins and large windows, opens to a flagstone walkway leading to a stunning stone wall at the rear of the property. The bright sunroom offers flexible space, with wall-to-wall windows and access to the lower deck. Outside, the 10-acre property is a private retreat with trails, a creek, a hidden meadow, and abundant wildlife. This estate is the epitome of luxury and leisure, offering every amenity for an elevated lifestyle. With over 10 acres of tranquil landscape, this property is a true sanctuary of refined living—just minutes from the city, where every detail has been thoughtfully crafted for elegance and comfort.
