More Insights

Built in 1972 (54 years old).
Condition: Built in 1972, this condo is explicitly described as 'largely original' and 'ready for modern upgrades.' The kitchen features dated light wood cabinets, laminate countertops, and white appliances, while the bathrooms have avocado-green tiles and basic vanities, all showing signs of being outdated. The flooring is a mix of older tile and worn carpet. While clean and functional, the property requires substantial cosmetic updates to meet current aesthetic standards, aligning with the 'Fair' category's description of being aged but maintained, with major components functional but outdated.
