806 Poplar St, Durham, NC, 27703

This is an estate-scale home that lives like new: a 2015 Energy‑Star certified residence offering 3,686 finished square feet, five bedrooms and four full baths in the established Brightwood Trails neighborhood. From the covered front porch you step into a main level laid with hardwoods across the living areas, where an oversized family room centers around a corner fireplace and opens visually to a large gourmet kitchen. The kitchen is appointed with stainless appliances (gas range and vented microwave/hood), granite counters, abundant cabinet storage and a refrigerator that conveys — practical details that make everyday life easier.

Function and flexibility are evident throughout. A formal dining room with tray ceiling provides a gracious setting for gatherings while a dedicated, carpeted office on the main floor gives you a private workspace. A true multi‑generational layout includes a downstairs bedroom (Bedroom 5) with an adjacent full bath — perfect for guests or live‑in family. The two‑car garage arrives upgraded: epoxy floor, storage racks, and a super‑quiet opener.

Upstairs is arranged for family living and entertaining: a large game room anchors the second level and the primary suite delivers a retreat-like bath with oversized tiled shower, rain showerhead, dual vanities and separate his-and-hers closets. Bedroom 2 has its own ensuite; Bedrooms 3 and 4 share a hall bath with dual vanities. Nearly new washer and dryer convey with the home, and a high‑efficiency gas furnace contributes to the Energy‑Star designation and lower operating costs.

Outdoor living is handled with equal care. The yard is fenced and artistically landscaped, with covered porches front and rear and a patio that includes a gas grill hookup. For future upgrades there’s a 220V line roughed in for a spa. Showings begin March 7 with open houses the weekend of March 7–8; this property offers immediate move‑in readiness with the thoughtful systems, finishes and extra storage that discerning buyers seek.

This Brightwood Trails home pairs practical, everyday features with space for celebration — a rare combination at this size and price point in Durham. If you’re searching for a turnkey, energy‑efficient family home with room to spread out and entertain, 806 Poplar St is worth a close look.
