More Insights
Built in 1983 (42 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1983, has undergone significant interior renovations, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern two-tone cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and updated countertops. Bathrooms are also updated with contemporary vanities, subway tile, and modern fixtures. New laminate flooring and fresh paint throughout contribute to a clean, updated aesthetic. While the cosmetic updates are extensive and recent, the building's age (41 years) and the presence of wall-mounted heaters (rather than central HVAC) suggest that not all major systems are brand new, aligning it with a 'Good' condition rather than 'Excellent'.
