More Insights

Built in 1975 (50 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1975, has undergone significant modernization, particularly in the kitchen and main living areas. The kitchen features updated white cabinetry, a grey island with a built-in microwave, modern stainless steel appliances, and contemporary pendant lighting. Throughout the main living spaces and bedrooms, there is consistent, well-maintained light-colored plank flooring and recessed lighting. While the building itself is older, the unit presents as move-in ready with no immediate renovations required. Some elements, such as the entry doors, bedroom ceiling fans, and specific bathroom wallpaper choices, suggest the renovation might not be ultra-recent or comprehensive to every single detail, but the overall condition is well-maintained and updated.
