Tucked away at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the coveted Woodford section of Inverness, 5501 Afton Drive invites you into a story of space, comfort, and thoughtful updates. From the moment you step inside, soaring 9-foot ceilings and a warm, open flow create an immediate sense of home. The heart of the house—a beautifully updated kitchen—opens to everyday living, while the main level offers both convenience and retreat with a serene primary suite featuring a fully renovated bath, plus a second bedroom with its own private bath. Upstairs, fresh carpet and generous rooms provide space to grow, gather, or unwind. Downstairs, the finished basement becomes a destination of its own, complete with a spacious den, kitchenette, and full bath—perfect for guests or entertaining. Step out onto the screened-in porch and take in the peaceful wooded backdrop, your own private escape. With fresh paint, a new roof (2024), updated windows, and more, this home is ready for its next chapter!
