More Insights
Built in 2003 (22 years old).
Condition: Built in 2003, this condo is 21 years old. The listing mentions 'updated' and 'new flooring,' which is evident in the images with light wood-look laminate/LVP and clean carpets. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances and what appear to be updated solid surface countertops, though the light wood cabinets have a slightly dated style. While functional and clean, the kitchen doesn't reflect a full, recent high-end renovation. No bathroom images were provided, but based on the rest of the unit, it appears well-maintained and move-in ready, fitting the 'Good' category for a property of its age with recent updates.
