More Insights

Built in 1972 (54 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1972, is aged but well-maintained with recent cosmetic updates including fresh paint, new carpet, and recently replaced kitchen appliances. However, the kitchen cabinets, countertops, backsplash, and bathroom vanity, lighting, and tile styles are dated. The heating and cooling systems (wall-mounted AC, baseboard heating) are also older, indicating that while functional, major components show signs of being outdated and would likely require aesthetic updates for a modern buyer.

Cons

Compact Size: The 1-bedroom, 1-bath, 665 sqft layout is relatively small, limiting its appeal primarily to singles or couples and not suitable for those requiring more living space.
High Monthly Association Fee: The $554.0 monthly association fee is substantial and adds significantly to the overall cost of ownership, which may impact affordability for some buyers.
