More Insights
Built in 1974 (51 years old).
Condition: Built in 1974, the building is older, but the condo unit itself has been extensively updated. The kitchen features modern white cabinetry, dark granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, all appearing to be in excellent condition and relatively recent. The bathroom also shows modern updates with a contemporary vanity and clean tiled shower/tub. Hardwood floors are present throughout the main living areas and bedroom, contributing to a stylish and move-in ready feel. While not a brand-new construction, the significant interior renovations align with the 'Good' criteria of being extensively renovated within the last 5 to 15 years, requiring no immediate updates or repairs.
