More Insights
Built in 1974 (51 years old).
Condition: This condo unit presents a very appealing and move-in ready condition. The kitchen has been sleekly renovated with modern white shaker cabinets, stainless steel LG appliances, and contemporary countertops/backsplash, placing it in excellent condition. The living areas benefit from new light wood floors, fresh paint, and designer lighting, creating a bright and updated ambiance. While the bathroom is clean and functional, its vanity and countertop appear less recently updated than the kitchen, preventing an 'Excellent' overall score. Additionally, the building was constructed in 1974, and the listing notes an absence of central cooling, which are factors to consider. However, the significant recent interior updates make this property a strong 'Good' in terms of condition.
