Property is moderate renovation needed.
The property is in fair condition, consistent with its 1981 construction and lack of a full modern renovation. While the kitchen features some updated stainless steel appliances and the laundry room has newer GE units, the overall aesthetic is dated with original oak cabinetry, laminate countertops, and linoleum flooring. The bathroom is particularly dated with a carpeted floor and older fixtures, and the main living area carpets show visible signs of wear and staining.
The bedroom features impressive high ceilings with exposed wood beams, providing a spacious and unique aesthetic that distinguishes it from standard condominium units.
The unit offers premium conveniences including a dedicated laundry room with storage, dual bathroom vanities, and a private one-car garage with remote access.
A private tiled patio is accessible from both the living room and the bedroom, creating a seamless transition to outdoor living space and increasing the home's usable footprint.
The monthly association fee of $580 is relatively high for a one-bedroom property, which may impact overall affordability and attract fewer budget-conscious buyers.
A significant price reduction from the original listing suggests the property may have faced challenges with initial market valuation or demand in its specific area.
Great layout of floorplan. This one bedroom condo has plenty of closet space. If you check out the bathroom pics.... you have two separate counters and faucets. The high ceiling in the bedroom with the wood beams adds a nice vibe. Kitchen has electric stove/oven. Also has microwave and dishwasher. In the laundry room, you have the washer and dryer that come with the unit. A counter to fold clothes with cabinet storage in that room. The living room has a gas log fireplace. The sliding doors go out to the private patio. From the bedroom, you can also step out into the tiled patio. There is also a one car garage with with a remote for easy access.
