More Insights
Built in 1961 (65 years old).
Condition: Built in 1961, this condo shows its age, particularly in the kitchen and bathroom. The kitchen features very dated white cabinets, laminate countertops, an old tile backsplash, and older white appliances. The bathroom has an outdated vanity, integrated sink, and basic lighting. While the living areas have decent hardwood/laminate flooring, the overall aesthetic and components are functional but significantly outdated, requiring substantial cosmetic updates to meet current standards. There are no visible signs of major structural defects, but the property has not undergone a major renovation in many years, aligning with the 'fair' condition criteria.
