More Insights
Built in 1995 (30 years old).
Condition: Built in 1995, this condo is well-maintained with some positive updates like stainless steel kitchen appliances and wood-look laminate flooring throughout. However, the kitchen cabinets and granite countertops appear dated, and the fluorescent ceiling light fixture is significantly outdated. While move-in ready, the kitchen and likely the bathroom (no photos provided, but typically consistent with kitchen updates) would benefit from minor cosmetic updates to meet current aesthetic standards. This aligns with a property that is aged but maintained through regular upkeep and occasional, partial updates.

Significant Monthly HOA Fees: The association fee of $408.04 per month, while inclusive of some utilities, represents a substantial ongoing cost that could impact affordability for some buyers.
