More Insights
Built in 1983 (42 years old).
Condition: Built in 1983, this condo shows its age, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen features dated white cabinets with wood trim, white laminate countertops, and an old fluorescent light fixture. While some appliances are stainless steel, the white dishwasher and overall aesthetic are not modern. The bathroom has a basic white vanity and tiled shower that appears functional but not recently updated. The engineered wood flooring throughout is a positive, but the property requires minor updates to the kitchen and bathroom to align with current styles and standards.
