More Insights

Built in 1985 (41 years old).
Condition: This unit is move-in ready and well-maintained, as stated in the description. The kitchen features new appliances (range, hood, refrigerator) and newer flooring, while the primary bathroom boasts a new Hydro Dimensions walk-in tub/shower, indicating recent and significant updates. Although the building was constructed in 1985, these updates, along with newer flooring and crown molding throughout the unit, elevate its condition. Some light fixtures and the guest bathroom show signs of being older, but the property does not require immediate renovation and its major systems appear functional and well-kept.
