More Insights
Built in 1969 (56 years old).
Condition: Built in 1969, this condo has undergone some functional upgrades like double-pane windows, a heat pump, and newer kitchen appliances. However, the kitchen cabinets, while 'newer,' appear to be a traditional style that is not contemporary, and the countertops look dated. The bathrooms show signs of being older, with dated vanities, light fixtures, and tile. While well-maintained and move-in ready, the property's overall aesthetic and some key components suggest renovations were likely done 15-30 years ago, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria for an aged but maintained home that requires minor cosmetic updates to meet current standards.
