More Insights

Built in 1973 (52 years old).
Condition: This 1973 mid-century modern home is presented as 'thoughtfully upgraded' and 'move-in ready,' aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria. The property benefits from significant updates, including all new Milgard windows, doors, and clerestory windows, which are major system improvements. The main living areas feature attractive wood-look flooring, recessed lighting, and a well-maintained aesthetic. The kitchen, while clean and functional with updated white cabinets and a newer stainless steel refrigerator, features dated black tile countertops and older built-in wall oven and microwave, preventing an 'Excellent' rating. No bathroom images were provided for assessment. The description notes a potential weakness regarding the age of core systems (plumbing, electrical, HVAC) not explicitly mentioned as updated, but the overall presentation suggests a well-maintained home with no immediate renovation required.

Condominium Ownership Limitations: As a condominium, the property may involve shared walls, potentially less private outdoor space, and HOA rules that could limit personal modifications or usage compared to a detached home.
