More Insights
Built in 1968 (57 years old).
Condition: This condo, built in 1968, has undergone significant and tasteful updates, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, while the main living areas boast contemporary wood-look flooring and fresh paint. The bathroom includes a refreshed vanity and modern fixtures. However, some elements like the shower's older tile and the visible wall heater in the bedroom suggest that while extensively renovated, it may not be a full, top-to-bottom overhaul to 'virtually new' standards within the last 5 years, preventing an 'Excellent' rating. Overall, it presents as a well-maintained property with modern comforts.
