More Insights
Built in 1982 (43 years old).
Condition: This condo, built in 1982, has undergone significant and recent updates that elevate its condition to 'Good'. The description highlights a 'beautifully updated' interior, including modern laminate flooring throughout the main living areas, an updated kitchen with sleek stainless steel appliances, and a 'Brand new HVAC system'. The images confirm these updates, showcasing contemporary kitchen cabinets, white quartz countertops, and modern bathroom vanities with updated fixtures. While the building's age is over 40 years, the extensive renovations, particularly the brand new HVAC and updated kitchen/bathrooms, ensure it is move-in ready with no immediate renovation required. Some minor elements, like the fireplace tile and the Hollywood-style lighting in one bathroom, suggest it hasn't undergone a full, top-to-bottom luxury renovation within the last 5 years, preventing an 'Excellent' rating. However, the major systems and visible components are well-maintained and modern, fitting the 'Good' criteria for a property extensively renovated within the last 5 to 15 years.
