About the home
Set within the gated community of Poplar Ridge, this custom modern farmhouse is surrounded by wildflower meadows and native plantings, offering a thoughtful balance of refined design, comfortable living and natural beauty. Recently renovated with a new kitchen, updated baths and refreshed landscaping, the home is beautifully maintained and equally suited for full-time or lock-and-leave living. Vaulted ceilings, exposed wood beams and a stone gas fireplace anchor the light-filled great room, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame the surrounding landscape. The open dining area and well-appointed kitchen create an easy flow for everyday living and entertaining. The main-level primary suite features a spacious walk-in closet and beautifully updated bath. Upstairs, two en-suite bedrooms provide privacy for guests, while a flexible bonus room is ideal for an office, media room or additional living space. A screened porch and expansive deck overlook the private backyard, extending the home's relaxed living spaces outdoors.
