Charming downtown Hammond cottage that’s move-in ready and ready to make your own! This 4-bedroom, 2-bath home offers approximately 1,424 square feet of living area and is conveniently located near downtown Hammond and just a short bike ride from Southeastern Louisiana University. Freshly painted throughout, the home is ready for its next owner to move right in while still offering plenty of opportunity to add your own style with simple cosmetic touches. New windows, an HVAC system replaced within the last few years, and a roof under 10 years old mean several of the bigger-ticket updates have already been addressed. Outside, mature trees provide plenty of shade and character, while the covered back patio and spacious yard offer room to relax, entertain, or create your own backyard retreat. A separate outdoor utility/laundry room adds functionality, and the detached she-shed/storage building provides additional flexible space for hobbies, storage, or a creative escape. Whether you're looking for a place to call home or an investment opportunity near Southeastern and downtown Hammond, this cottage offers a great combination of move-in-ready condition, character, and potential. **Select photos have been virtually staged and/or digitally enhanced to help illustrate how the home could look with furnishings and simple cosmetic updates.
