Everything refreshed at 179 Colburn Drive
By GG Sfreddo, Associate Broker, eXp Realty
Buyers often ask what a house really needs before they can move in. At 179 Colburn Drive, the answer is reassuring: the expensive, unglamorous work is already done. Here is the honest update log, straight from the agent notes.
The 2026 refresh
This year brought the big-ticket items. The home received new siding in 2026 (the exterior is a classic brick and siding combination), a brand-new hot water heater, and a brand-new washer and dryer. The HVAC system and air vents were serviced and cleaned in 2026, too, so heating and cooling start the season on a fresh footing.
Earlier work that still matters
The roof was replaced in 2015, which puts it in its comfortable middle years with plenty of life left. Taken together, the roof and the 2026 updates mean the next several years should be about living in the house, not financing it.
Inside, a clean canvas
The interiors are ready for a buyer's personal touch. Hardwood floors sit under the carpet, waiting to be revealed. The wood-burning fireplace was refurbished, the front porch was freshly painted, and the flat lot is partially fenced with an extra-long driveway.
The layout is practical for daily life: four bedrooms, two full baths, with two of the bedrooms on the main floor, plus a living room, formal dining room, galley kitchen, and a family room.
What is left for you?
The fun part: paint, carpet, kitchen details, and making the rooms your own, at your own pace and on your own budget. Homes like this are rare in a market that mostly wants turnkey, and priced the way it is, the sweat equity is yours to keep.
