More Insights
Built in 1983 (42 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1983, this condo presents as move-in ready due to significant updates. The kitchen features modern white shaker-style cabinets, dark countertops, white subway tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances (including a gas range), and recessed lighting. The bathroom also shows modern updates with a white vanity, updated shower/tub with subway tile surround, and contemporary fixtures. The main living areas and wet areas have updated light wood-look flooring. While the property is over 40 years old, the visible renovations in key areas (kitchen and bathroom) appear to have been done within the last 5-15 years, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria for properties with extensive renovations.
