Make yourself at home in Hammond! The freshly painted interior is very spacious, but the benefits begin outside at this well-maintained property. The parkway street spans a few blocks and turns into a huge park right in front of the home, where there is a covered porch to enjoy the nice parkway views. Large trees provide shade as they line the front lawn, while verdant bushes frame the maintenance-free full-brick exterior. Follow the blacktop driveway as it extends behind the home to the detached two-car garage with an electric opener. An entertainment room could be built around the brick wood-burning fireplace in the garage without sacrificing the parking area for one car. There is space for all kinds of outdoor recreation in the sprawling backyard! Throw backyard barbecues when the weather is nice, or relax in solitude as you look out on your serene surroundings. Bring your decorating ideas to the spacious interior, sporting fresh neutral paint in the main living areas.

The L-shaped dining room also showcases hardwood flooring under cozy carpeting, as well as a lighted ceiling fan for comfort. Serve both formal and casual meals in this inviting space! You can prepare these meals with ease in the efficient eat-in kitchen, equipped with laminate countertops and plentiful wood cabinets.
