More Insights
Built in 1991 (34 years old).
Condition: The property was built in 1991, making it 33 years old. While the unit appears clean and well-maintained with updated laminate flooring in the living areas, the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly outdated. The kitchen features white tiled countertops, older white appliances, and dated white square tile flooring. The bathrooms similarly present with tiled countertops, basic vanities, and tiled shower surrounds, all indicative of a style from the property's original construction or a very early renovation. These areas are functional but require substantial cosmetic updates to align with modern aesthetics, placing the property in the 'Fair' condition category.
