6823 Columbia Avenue Owned by the same family since 1972, this Hammond home is now ready for its next chapter. The history gives this home its heart, while the recent improvements give the next owner plenty to appreciate. Approximately 2 years ago, the home received new siding, most replacement windows, a new furnace, central air, and a 50-gallon gas water heater. The roof was replaced just 1 year ago. Inside, the main level has been refreshed with new flooring throughout and an updated kitchen featuring new cabinets, countertops, and sink. A spacious pantry adds practical storage and everyday convenience. The upper level and basement remain more original, offering the next owner an opportunity to improve or reimagine the space over time. The basement also provides useful storage and houses the home's mechanicals. Outside, you'll find a detached 1-car garage along with an additional carport for extra covered parking. With many of the major updates already completed, this home offers a great blend of character, practical improvements, and room to make it your own.
