More Insights
Built in 1982 (44 years old).
Condition: The property is beautifully updated and move-in ready, featuring a modern kitchen with granite countertops, newer stainless steel appliances, and contemporary tile flooring throughout the main living areas and bedrooms. While the building was constructed in 1982, the unit's interior has clearly undergone significant renovations, including fresh paint and updated light fixtures. The bathrooms are clean and functional, though the vanity countertops and shower enclosures show some signs of an earlier update or original construction, preventing an 'excellent' rating. Overall, it's a well-maintained unit requiring no immediate renovations.
