About This Home

As of June 2025

Pretty on Poplar! And so much more. With tons of natural light and a backyard that extends to the huge green space behind the house, you will forget how close you are to downtown Durham and RTP. There is room for everyone with just over 2700 square feet, 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, tons of closet space, screened porch, and a 2 car garage. Flexible spaces on both floors allow you to make this home uniquely yours- create a home office, dining room, or library on the first floor and a game room, yoga spot, or kids zone in the upstairs loft. Life is easy breezy with an open floor plan, a bedroom and full bath on the first floor and a primary ensuite on the second with a soaking tub and enormous walk in closet. Enjoy your morning coffee on the covered front porch and your evenings on the screened porch that has a ceiling fan and attached patio. The neighborhood pool and playground are a short hop away. Sidewalks and streetlights make neighborhood strolls especially stress free. Location, flexible spaces, natural light, and room for everyone- there is so much to love at 831 Poplar!
