More Insights

Built in 1971 (54 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1971, has clearly undergone significant updates, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances and custom cabinetry, which, while not ultra-modern in style, appear well-maintained and functional. Wood flooring throughout the main living areas and bedrooms is in excellent condition. The description mentions a 'lavish bathroom,' suggesting modern updates there as well. The overall aesthetic is clean and contemporary. However, the absence of a central cooling system and the age of the building (despite unit renovations) prevent it from reaching an 'Excellent' rating. The updates likely fall within the 5-15 year renovation window for a 'Good' score.
