Although built in 1982, the quality of the interior finishes, the well-maintained private rooftop deck, and the overall move-in ready condition with no deferred maintenance justify an excellent rating.
The property features a rare combination of an expansive private rooftop deck with sunset views and an additional private patio, offering significant outdoor space for an urban residence.

The home is move-in ready with a remodeled kitchen featuring premium Bosch appliances and tastefully updated bathrooms, blending modern luxury with functional design.
The floor plan likely spans multiple levels from the garage to the rooftop deck, which may be a drawback for buyers seeking single-level living or those with mobility concerns.
While the interior is beautifully updated, the 1982 construction may mean older underlying systems and less modern soundproofing compared to newer luxury developments in the area.
