Homes like this don't come around very often. Welcome to 652 s Poplar. Tucked away at the end of the street, with a walking and biking trail right next to the home. Grab your sneakers and head out your door any day for your next adventure. This Elmhurst home has that hard-to-find combination of privacy, character and thoughtful updates. Inside, beautifully refinished original hardwood floors add warmth throughout this 3-bedroom, 2-full-bath home. The kitchen was completely updated in 2021 with new appliances, while the finished basement, redone in 2018, adds even more space to spread out, entertain or simply escape. Don't forget about those built-in wood cabinets for games, crafts or your curated collections. And this house has a few surprises! The upstairs primary bedroom offers the flexibility to be divided into two separate rooms, creating the potential for a 4th bedroom, home office or whatever fits your life. otherwise, as is, the bedrooms gives space for a sitting area and loads of closet space. Did I mention they are cedar lined?! Another bedroom features a fantastic 5' x 14' lofted space-perfect for a reading nook, creative space or the ultimate little hideaway. A ladder is mounted to the wall for easy access. Outside, the fully fenced yard offers plenty of room to enjoy in privacy with the fence, also new from 2023. Other major improvements include HVAC in 2025, new water heater and sump pump in 2026, plus all-new interior doors, hinges and hardware. Roof replaced in 2010. Even the washer and dryer bring a little extra with steam features. Pack your bags and get ready to drop them in your new home before the holidays ahead. Updated where it matters, full of original charm and tucked into a spot that feels surprisingly removed from everything while still being right in Elmhurst-this is one of those homes that has much more to discover than you expect from the curb.
