Condition: Built in 2004, this condo is 20 years old and presents as move-in ready and well-maintained, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria. The kitchen features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, which are functional and in good condition, though the cabinet style and some light fixtures reflect the original build era rather than a recent full renovation. The bathroom is clean and functional, but also consistent with its age. The flooring throughout appears to be well-kept laminate or engineered wood. No immediate renovations are required, but some buyers might consider cosmetic updates for a more contemporary aesthetic.
