More Insights
Built in 1971 (54 years old).
Condition: The condo, built in 1971, features an updated kitchen with newer stainless steel appliances (stove/microwave) and modern quartz-like countertops, complemented by a subway tile backsplash. The bathroom has also been updated with contemporary white subway tiling and fixtures. Engineered wood floors in the living area and clean carpeting in the bedroom contribute to a move-in ready condition. While the building is over 50 years old, the unit's interior renovations appear to be within the last 5-15 years, making it well-maintained with minimal wear and tear, and not requiring immediate major renovations. The mixed appliance finishes (white dishwasher/refrigerator with stainless stove/microwave) and slightly dated pendant lights prevent an 'Excellent' rating, but the overall condition is solid and functional.
