More Insights

Built in 1979 (46 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1979, has undergone significant and stylish renovations, particularly evident in the kitchens and bathrooms. Both the main and lower unit kitchens feature modern stainless steel appliances, contemporary cabinetry (shaker style), and updated countertops, presenting a 'gourmet' and 'updated' aesthetic as described. The bathrooms also showcase modern vanities, fixtures, and tiling, indicating recent upgrades. Flooring throughout includes hardwood, laminate, and well-maintained carpets. While the property's age (45 years) suggests potential for older underlying systems (as noted in the 'Aging Infrastructure' weakness), the visible areas are move-in ready with no immediate renovation required, aligning with the 'Good' criteria for properties extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years. The lack of explicit detail on major system updates (HVAC, electrical, plumbing) prevents an 'Excellent' rating, but the overall condition and modern finishes are strong.

Significant Price Overestimation: The current listing price is 22% higher than the property's estimated value, potentially indicating an aggressive pricing strategy that may deter some buyers.
