More Insights
Built in 1964 (62 years old).
Condition: This 1964-built condominium is in move-in ready condition, reflecting significant updates. The living areas feature modern light-colored laminate flooring and recessed lighting, while the kitchen boasts updated white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances (refrigerator, built-in oven/microwave, dishwasher), and under-cabinet lighting. The in-unit stacked washer and dryer are also modern. While the bathrooms are clean and functional with glass shower enclosures, their tiled countertops and vanity strip lighting show signs of being older and are not fully contemporary, preventing an 'Excellent' rating. Overall, the property is well-maintained with key updates, aligning with a 'Good' condition score.

Cons
High Monthly HOA Dues: The monthly association fee of $687.0 is substantial and can significantly impact the overall cost of ownership, potentially limiting buyer pool.
Building Age: Built in 1964, the building is over 50 years old, which may lead to higher long-term maintenance costs for the association and potential for future special assessments, despite the unit's features.
