More Insights
Built in 1977 (48 years old).
Condition: Built in 1977, this condo is well-maintained and functional, but the kitchen and bathroom show significant signs of being outdated. The kitchen features newer black/stainless steel appliances, but the white flat-panel cabinets, laminate countertops, and ceramic tile flooring are dated. The bathroom also has dated ceramic tile and a tub with a sliding glass door. While clean and move-in ready, these key areas would benefit from cosmetic updates to meet current aesthetic standards. The wall-mounted heating system also indicates an older infrastructure.
