Nestled on over 3.6 private acres in the established Poplar Estates community, this spacious Colonial offers the perfect blend of privacy, functional living, and inviting indoor-outdoor spaces. Surrounded by mature trees and open landscape, the property delivers a quiet, tucked-away feel while remaining convenient to Stafford’s main commuter routes, shopping, and dining. A welcoming covered front porch sets the tone, leading into a two-story foyer with hardwood flooring and natural light that carries throughout the main level. The well-designed layout includes formal living and dining spaces with crown molding and chair rail detailing, along with a dedicated home office for added flexibility. The kitchen is thoughtfully appointed with granite countertops, a center island, double wall ovens, electric cooktop, stainless steel appliances, and freshly painted white cabinetry, offering both functionality and style. The adjacent family room features LVP flooring and a gas fireplace, creating a comfortable gathering space that flows seamlessly to the outdoor living area. Enjoy a fully screened and covered deck with ceiling fan—perfect for relaxing or entertaining—overlooking the expansive yard, complete with a fire pit area and additional storage shed. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a spacious retreat with vaulted ceilings, walk-in closets, and an en-suite bath featuring a soaking tub, fully tiled shower, and dual vanity with updated fixtures. Additional bedrooms include en-suite bath access, providing comfort and privacy, while a conveniently located upper-level laundry adds everyday practicality. The lower level expands the living space with a recreation room, media room, additional bedroom, and full bath—ideal for guests, extended stays, or flexible use. Recent updates include a water heater replaced in 2020, sump pump installed in 2024, and garbage disposal replaced in 2025, offering added peace of mind. With approximately 5,420 total square feet, a two-car attached garage, private well and septic, and a large, usable lot, this property offers space, versatility, and long-term value in a desirable Stafford setting.
