Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
This condo, built in 1973, has undergone significant recent renovations, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinets, dark countertops, a stainless steel farmhouse sink, and new appliances (fridge, microwave), presenting a contemporary and functional space. New wood-look laminate flooring extends throughout the living areas and bedrooms, and new ceiling fans have been installed. Crucially, the property also boasts a newer HVAC system and an updated electrical panel, addressing major system components. While the bathroom is clean and well-maintained, its vanity and fixtures are more standard and do not reflect the same level of modern renovation seen in the kitchen. Overall, the property is in very good condition with many updated features, but the bathroom prevents it from reaching an 'Excellent' score where all components would be virtually new.

CONSRISKS & DEFICIENCIES
- High Monthly Association Fee
The $468.0 monthly association fee is relatively high for a two-bedroom, one-bathroom condo, impacting overall affordability.
- Compact Living Space
With 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, and 780 sqft, the property offers limited living space, which may not suit larger households or those requiring more room.
- Original Build Year
