Property is move-in ready.
While the building was constructed in 1986, the interior has been thoughtfully updated with modern laminate flooring, fresh paint, and a renovated kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances and open shelving. The unit is move-in ready and well-maintained, though the presence of original-style wall heaters reflects the building's age.

The unit features a thoughtfully updated interior with modern finishes and the significant convenience of an in-unit washer and dryer, allowing for an immediate and seamless transition for new owners.
The gated complex provides enhanced security and peace of mind, while the HOA-covered water and garbage services simplify monthly budgeting and property maintenance for the resident.
At $626 per month, the association dues are relatively high for a unit of this size, which may impact the overall affordability and debt-to-income ratio for some buyers.
With only 748 square feet allocated across two bedrooms, the living areas and bedrooms may feel compact, potentially limiting its appeal to families or those requiring significant storage.
