More Insights

Built in 1972 (54 years old).
Condition: Despite being built in 1972, this condo unit has undergone extensive and tasteful renovations, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and custom cabinetry with soft-close drawers. The bathroom boasts matching granite and dark wood cabinetry, along with updated tiling in the tub/shower combo. Hardwood flooring is consistent throughout the unit, and the interior has been freshly painted. Dual-pane windows and a Nest thermostat add to the modern updates. While the building's age and the specific style of some updates (e.g., mosaic backsplash, dark wood cabinets) suggest the renovation might be closer to 5-15 years old rather than brand new, the overall condition is excellent with no immediate repairs or updates required. The presence of a popcorn ceiling in the bathroom is a minor detail that prevents an 'Excellent' rating, but the property is clearly well-maintained and highly functional.
