More Insights

Built in 1984 (42 years old).
Condition: Built in 1984, this condo is 40 years old. While it presents as move-in ready with some appealing updates like dark wood flooring, plantation shutters, and fairly new stainless steel kitchen appliances, the tiled kitchen countertops and the style of the bathroom vanity and countertop are notably outdated. The property is well-maintained and functional, but these key areas show signs of being aged and would require minor updates to meet current aesthetic standards, aligning with the 'Fair' condition criteria.
