More Insights
Built in 1967 (58 years old).
Condition: The condo was built in 1967, making it over 50 years old. While the description notes 'beautifully updated' with quartz countertops in the kitchen and an updated bathroom (newer vanity, freshly coated shower/tub, new glass door), the images show these are partial updates. The kitchen retains older dark wood cabinets and older-style flooring, and the living areas are carpeted. The property is well-maintained and functional, but its age and partial updates mean it shows signs of being outdated in certain areas, fitting the 'fair' category.
