About This Home

Charming Updated Cape Cod in the Heart of Essex! Welcome home to 348 Poplar Road, an updated 3-bedroom Cape Cod featuring one bedroom on the main level and two on the upper level. The home offers two full, updated baths—one on the main level and one on the lower level. The fully finished lower level also provides the potential for a fourth bedroom with the simple addition of a door. Upon entering, you'll be greeted by a naturally bright living room and an updated kitchen with stylish finishes. The home showcases spacious bedrooms and thoughtful updates throughout, making it completely move-in ready.
Enjoy relaxing or entertaining outdoors with a generously sized yard and a 27' x 16' deck, all within the charm of a well-established neighborhood. This home is located near the Woodward Square community—originally developed in the early 1900s as one of Baltimore County’s first planned residential communities, designed for workers who commuted by streetcar. Today, Essex has evolved into a vibrant blend of residential, commercial, and recreational spaces. Nearby attractions include Rocky Point Beach and Park, Cox Point Park, Essex Sky Park, several marinas, and the annual Essex Day Festival, celebrating the area’s rich community spirit and history. Additional highlights include a new roof and siding (2023) and a new AC system. The pool is being sold As-Is and has not been used in several years; however, the sellers are willing to consider removing it with an acceptable offer. Don’t miss this opportunity to own a piece of Essex charm with modern updates and a prime location near schools, shopping, dining, and major commuter routes.
