More Insights
Built in 1985 (41 years old).
Condition: This condo, built in 1985, is move-in ready and presents well due to recent updates. The description states 'fully remodeled' and the images confirm fresh paint, new-looking carpet, and stainless steel kitchen appliances. The kitchen and bathrooms are clean and functional, with updated fixtures, though the kitchen cabinets and bathroom vanities appear to be from an earlier renovation (likely 5-15 years ago) rather than a brand-new, 'sleek, modern' installation. The property shows minimal wear and tear, and major systems appear functional, aligning with a 'Good' condition.
