701 Poplar ST Highland, IL 62249

The kind of house that makes you slow down when you drive by, and once you walk in, you don't want to leave. Picture pulling into the driveway on a summer evening, the landscape lights coming on under those big mature trees, the flag hanging from the porch. Inside, the fireplace is going in the living room, not because it's cold, but because it sets the mood. The kitchen smells like whatever you just made on that stainless range, and the dining room is set for the people who matter most. This is a house that already feels like home before you've moved a single box in. 701 Poplar St has been thoughtfully updated from top to bottom. The living room anchors the home with a sleek electric fireplace, shiplap accent wall, raw wood mantle, and fresh carpet. The galley kitchen is a full renovation, gray painted cabinetry, stone tile backsplash, dark countertops, stainless steel appliances, and original hardwood floors that flow straight into the dining room. That dining room still has its original built-in china cabinet, the kind of character you just can't fake. The bathroom has been fully refreshed with a sage green vanity, black hardware, arched mirror, and tile flooring. Three bedrooms, all with new carpet and natural light pouring through updated windows. Out back: a massive lot shaded by mature trees, a covered carport/patio structure built for summer nights, a detached 2-car garage, and an additional storage shed. Highland is one of the most sought-after communities in the Metro East, strong schools, tight-knit neighborhoods, and a small-town feel that's hard to find. 701 Poplar puts you right in the middle of it, on an established street with the updates already done. No projects. No waiting. Just move in. Homes like this in Highland don't sit. Schedule your private showing today.
