Imagine living on a charming, tree-lined residential street just moments from the energy of Downtown Brea—with the added advantage of a generously sized lot and R-3 zoning that creates an intriguing opportunity for the future. Welcome to 293 S. Poplar Avenue, where location, character, and possibility come together in one of Brea’s most desirable established neighborhoods. Built in 1940, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home offers approximately 864 square feet of living space on an approximately 7,000-square-foot lot. Whether you're looking for a place to call home, an investment opportunity, or a property with potential for future possibilities, the combination of lot size, location, and R-3 Multiple Family Residential zoning makes this property especially compelling. Buyers are encouraged to investigate allowable uses, development standards, and potential opportunities directly with the City of Brea. And then there's the lifestyle. Downtown Brea and Birch Street Promenade are just moments away, putting exceptional dining, shopping, entertainment, and community events within easy reach. Enjoy dinner at local favorites such as Old Brea Chop House, catch a show at the Brea Improv or Curtis Theatre, meet friends for coffee, or simply enjoy an evening exploring downtown. Outdoor recreation is equally accessible, with Craig Regional Park, Carbon Canyon Regional Park, and The Tracks at Brea providing nearby opportunities for walking, biking, hiking, and enjoying the outdoors. The property is also served by the highly regarded Brea Olinda Unified School District, with convenient access to shopping and major freeways. 293 S. Poplar Avenue offers something increasingly difficult to find: an established Downtown Brea neighborhood, a substantial lot, an existing single-family home, and zoning that may provide additional possibilities for the future. Come explore the home, the location, and the possibilities for yourself. Schedule your private tour today.
