What's special

Beautifully landscaped corner lot

Welcome to Woodford, one of Inverness's most established and sought after neighborhoods. This 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath home has been fully remodeled with true designer finishes throughout, no detail overlooked. The kitchen has been completely reimagined and the living spaces feel fresh and current, while a striking emerald powder room adds real personality you will not find in a builder grade remodel. Outside, the beautifully landscaped corner lot sets the home apart, anchored by a huge covered and screened back porch built for everyday living, plus a separate uncovered porch made for grilling. With 2,816 square feet on the main and second floor and 3,520 total square feet including the finished and unfinished basement, there is room to grow. Zoned for Inverness Elementary and Oak Mountain Middle and High School, and an easy golf cart ride to Inverness Country Club, this is Inverness living at its best, minutes from Highway 280 shopping and jobs, without the daily traffic grind.
