More Insights
Built in 1965 (60 years old).
Condition: The property, built in 1965, has undergone significant and stylish renovations, making it 'completely turnkey' as described. The kitchen features modern stainless steel appliances, light shaker-style cabinets, dark subway tile backsplash, and contemporary lighting. The bathroom is also updated with a modern green vanity, white countertop, and new fixtures. Throughout the home, there is updated light wood-look flooring, fresh paint, and modern light fixtures. While the underlying structure is older and wall heaters are visible (suggesting no central HVAC), the extensive cosmetic updates and overall 'crisp finishes' mean it is move-in ready with no immediate renovation required, aligning well with a 'Good' condition score.

Cons
Compact Living Space: With 850 sqft for 2 beds and 1 bath, the interior living space is relatively compact, which might be a limiting factor for buyers seeking more expansive accommodations.
Building Age: Built in 1965, the property's underlying structure is older, which could imply potential for aging infrastructure (e.g., plumbing, electrical) not explicitly covered by recent cosmetic updates.
Condominium Constraints: Despite its secluded feel, it remains a condominium, meaning shared walls and adherence to HOA rules and regulations, which may not appeal to buyers desiring complete independence of a detached home.
