Fair
TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1972, this 54-year-old condo features some cosmetic improvements like laminate flooring and neutral paint. However, the kitchen is dated with older dark wood cabinetry and white appliances, and the overall infrastructure likely exceeds the 20-30 year threshold for major system updates. It is functional but requires modernization to the kitchen and bath to meet current market standards.
