About This Home

As of February 2025

Welcome to 17 Poplar Trail, a charming haven nestled in the sought-after Ocean Pines community along Maryland’s picturesque Eastern Shore. This premier enclave is celebrated for its nine miles of waterfront and lush wooded landscapes, complemented by world-class amenities such as a yacht club, a championship golf course, and a vibrant social scene. Set amidst mature trees, this residence offers two levels of exceptional coastal living, thoughtfully designed for relaxation and entertaining. The covered front entry welcomes you inside to a two-story great room, where soaring ceilings and abundant natural light create an inviting atmosphere. The living area centers around a gas fireplace, serving as a focal point that exudes warmth and elegance. Picture windows and a celestial dormer bathe the space in natural light, enhancing its airy feel. The refreshed gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring new stainless-steel appliances, a stunning glass-tile backsplash, and abundant counter space. Highlights include 42” display cabinetry, a center island with seating, all tailored for both functionality and style. The adjacent dining room is perfect for everyday meals and celebrations. Its bay window bump-out provides the perfect spot for a tete-a-tete over coffee with your bestie. The dining area flows seamlessly to a spacious screened-in porch through sliding glass doors, providing the perfect indoor-outdoor transition. Here, you can enjoy panoramic woodland views while savoring a quiet moment or hosting gatherings.
The main-level primary suite is a tranquil retreat, complete with a spa-inspired ensuite. Indulge in the dual vanity, deep soaking tub, spacious walk-in closet, and stall shower, designed for ultimate comfort and relaxation. Additional conveniences on this level include a powder room and a generous laundry room with interior access to the two-car garage. Upstairs, discover three well-appointed guest bedrooms and a well-appointed hall bath. A versatile family/recreation room offers endless possibilities, whether as a cozy getaway for the kids, a fun game night venue, or even a fifth bedroom. The outdoor space is equally enchanting. The picturesque woodland lot features a partially fenced backyard and an invisible fence, ideal for keeping children and pets safe. Whether hosting a barbecue, enjoying quiet evenings under the stars, or creating new memories, this serene setting accommodates it all.
Embrace the vibrant lifestyle of Ocean Pines, where coastal serenity meets community charm. From tranquil beach days to engaging activities, 17 Poplar Trail is more than a home—it’s a gateway to the Eastern Shore's finest living.
