More Insights

Built in 1981 (45 years old).
Condition: Built in 1981, this condo presents a clean and well-maintained living space with updated flooring in the main areas. However, the kitchen is significantly dated with tiled countertops, older white appliances, and fluorescent panel lighting, requiring substantial cosmetic updates. The bathrooms show a mix of conditions; while some elements like vanity tops and shower enclosures appear more recent, the tiled tub surrounds and overall style are outdated. The property is functional and move-in ready, but key areas like the kitchen and bathrooms would require minor to moderate renovations to meet current aesthetic standards.
