More Insights

Built in 1986 (39 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1986, features a recently remodeled kitchen with modern appliances, granite countertops, and updated lighting, which is a strong positive. However, the bathroom is significantly outdated with original-style tiled countertops, brass fixtures, and a gold-framed shower enclosure, indicating it has not been updated in many years. While the rest of the condo appears well-maintained with neutral paint and clean flooring, the stark contrast between the updated kitchen and the very dated bathroom, along with the property's age, places it in the 'Fair' category. It is functional but requires minor updates, specifically to the bathroom, to meet current aesthetic standards.
