TeardownExcellent
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1980 (44 years old) and appears to retain many original or dated features. While the unit is well-maintained and staged, the bathroom shows aged cultured marble countertops, older tile flooring, and gold-tone fixtures consistent with a 20-30+ year old renovation or original build, necessitating updates.

The association fee of $629 per month is relatively high, which may impact the overall affordability and debt-to-income ratio for budget-conscious buyers.
