Built in 2004 (21 years old).
Condition: Built in 2004, this condo is 20 years old but benefits from significant recent upgrades including modern lighting (2019) and a brand-new HVAC system with a Nest thermostat (2020), ensuring major systems are functional and within their expected lifespan. The kitchen features clean white cabinetry, granite-look countertops, and stainless steel appliances, all appearing well-maintained and move-in ready.
