Property Description
A century of character, thoughtfully renewed over the last 20 months. Built in 1925, 1003 Poplar Street is the kind of home that simply cannot be recreated today. Its story began during an exciting period in Murray's history, just two years after Murray State Normal School opened its doors, and a century later, this distinctive Tudor-style home remains full of the craftsmanship and architectural details that make homes of this era so special. Inside, 2,066 square feet above grade offers 4 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, complemented by beautiful original hardwood floors, arched openings, substantial trim work and remarkable arched wood and glass doors that connect the main living spaces. An additional 1,284 square foot basement provides valuable below grade space adding to the functionality of the home. With both an interior and exterior walk out entrance, perfect for daily use. The light-filled living room is anchored by a beautiful original fireplace, while large windows and graceful architectural details give the home a warmth and character you notice immediately. The renovated kitchen is a standout, pairing crisp white cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless appliances and a farmhouse sink with the warmth of the original hardwood floors. Just beyond, the dining area may be one of the homes most charming spaces, framed by arched architectural details and a built-in recessed display niche—a perfect example of how the home's original character has been preserved while making room for modern living. The main-level bath is a true nod to the home's 1920s character, featuring beautifully preserved vintage green fixtures, including the original pedestal sink, tub and toilet. A white subway-tile surround extends into the distinctive barrel-vaulted ceiling above the tub, thoughtfully updating the space while allowing its original charm to remain the centerpiece. That careful balance continues throughout the home. Much of the original woodwork, doors and trim has been repaired and brought back to life. Behind all that 1920s charm are substantial improvements, including an entirely updated electrical system, new plumbing fixtures, new light fixtures, new forced air heating and central air system, with new ductwork, new electric hot water heater, all new windows and a new roof! Set on a 0.31-acre lot, the home's storybook exterior, with steep rooflines, prominent chimneys, copper gutters and an arched entry—makes an equally memorable first impression. 1003 Poplar Street offers something increasingly hard to find: the character and craftsmanship of a 100-year-old home, paired with the thoughtful updates that make it ready for its next century. Welcome home!
