About This Home

As of March 2025

Welcome to 4 Poplar Ave, a beautifully renovated gem located in the heart of Elsmere! This charming home seamlessly blends modern upgrades with classic town charm, offering a perfect space to call home.

As you approach the property, imagine enjoying your morning coffee or evening relaxation on the inviting front porch, taking in the community vibe that surrounds you. Step inside, and you'll be greeted by a thoughtfully designed open floor plan that connects the family room, dining room, and stunning bright kitchen.

The light wood-grain floors flow throughout the first floor, creating a spacious and welcoming feel. The kitchen is a true showstopper, featuring bright white cabinets with gold hardware, stainless steel appliances, and a striking backsplash that adds just the right amount of flair. The peninsula provides both seating for casual dining and a perfect spot for entertaining, while the thoughtfully designed kitchen layout, including a tucked-away refrigerator, maximizes space and functionality. From the kitchen, step out to the large rear yard, ideal for outdoor gatherings and entertaining.

The first floor is thoughtfully designed for convenience and versatility, featuring a main-level bedroom and an updated full bathroom. The bedroom is perfect for those seeking one-level living or can serve as a flexible space for guests or a home office. The full bathroom, with its modern updates and bright, elegant design, adds both style and functionality to the main level.

On the second floor, you'll find two spacious bedrooms with new carpeting throughout.
The finished basement adds even more living space, with a large recreation area or family room, a beautifully updated second full bathroom, and Bilco doors for easy outside access—perfect for hosting guests or creating a cozy retreat.

Situated on a flat 0.26-acre lot, this home offers plenty of space for outdoor activities, gardening, or relaxing in your own backyard oasis. Located within walking distance to local restaurants and stores, you'll enjoy the perfect balance of charm and convenience.

Conveniently located close to major roadways, Philadelphia International Airport, restaurants, parks, and malls, this home offers unparalleled accessibility. It is truly move-in ready and won’t last long. Schedule your tour today to see all that 4 Poplar Ave has to offer!
