Property Description
Sprawling Hessville Ranch Home on a Finished Basement Walking Distance to the Elementary School! Completely updated and move in ready, this home offers 2000 square feet of finished space inside, and a large lot with fully fenced backyard. The first clue you're buying a great home is the chattahoochee pebble stone walkway leading to your welcoming front entry. Inside you'll find a Living Room with bright picture window flowing into the Eat-In Kitchen with a Dining Area flanked by corner windows, and a bonus window over the kitchen sink allowing you to keep a close eye on that fenced in backyard enjoyment while you meal prep in the fully loaded galley kitchen. Head down the hall to a Full, Updated Bath, again, with a window, to keep an eye. There's also three good sized bedrooms, all with ample windows, of course, three, in fact, in the master bedroom. Heading down to the Fully Finished Basement, the 1980s finishes have been preserved and modernized with new flooring throughout and new plumbing in the Half Bath! There's also plenty of storage in the Laundry Room, Washer and Dryer included. 6500 block of California is a midcentury modern dream with wide streets and set back. You can see the investment from new streets, sidewalks, ornamental lighting, but the progess is evident with a brand new home right next door. Walking distance to Harding Elementary, the Gibson Woods Nature Preserve, and the World Famous Freddy's Steakhouse. A short commute to the Middle School, High School, evolving downtown Kennedy Avenue, the 80/94 expressway, and Cline Avenue Toll Road express commute into the city. First time buyers qualify for downpayment assistance from the city of Hammond, and children of Hammond homeowners qualify for full ride college tuition through the award winning College Bound program. Nothing left for you to do here but pull into your 1994 built two car garage, walk through you fenced back yard directly in your California dream home. All showings will be confirmed!
