More Insights

Built in 1973 (52 years old).
Condition: While built in 1973, this condo features significant recent updates that elevate its condition. The bathrooms have been recently renovated with modern fixtures, subway tile, and dramatic large-format tile, presenting in excellent condition. The living areas benefit from updated dark flooring, recessed lighting, and fresh paint, creating a contemporary feel. Double-pane windows are also a valuable upgrade. However, the kitchen remains largely original or last updated several decades ago, featuring dated blue tiled countertops and backsplash, and older appliances. This dated kitchen prevents an 'Excellent' rating, as it would likely require a full renovation to meet current aesthetic expectations, even if functional. Overall, the property is move-in ready with key areas updated, but the kitchen stands out as needing attention.
