More Insights
Built in 1981 (44 years old).
Condition: Built in 1981, this condo shows its age through dated interior finishes. The kitchen features older dark wood cabinets, speckled laminate countertops, white appliances (except for a black refrigerator), and an outdated fluorescent light fixture. Bathrooms also present older vanities, basic light fixtures, and notably, carpet leading up to one vanity, which is generally undesirable for moisture control. While the property appears functional and maintained, the style and features of the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly outdated and would require substantial updates to meet current market expectations. The listing's disclaimer that photos are from a previous listing and may not reflect the most up-to-date condition further supports a 'Fair' rating, suggesting potential for deferred maintenance or a need for immediate cosmetic and functional upgrades.
