More Insights
Built in 1972 (53 years old).
Condition: Built in 1972, this condo is over 50 years old. While the property appears clean and well-maintained, the kitchen and bathrooms are significantly dated. The kitchen features older white appliances (some mixed with black), dated white cabinets, laminate/solid surface countertops, vinyl flooring, and fluorescent lighting. Bathrooms have dated 4x4 white tile, older vanities, and strip lighting. Although the living areas benefit from updated laminate/hardwood flooring and some recessed lighting, the overall condition of the key areas (kitchen and bathrooms) suggests that any major renovations were likely done 20-30+ years ago, or updates have been piecemeal, not meeting current quality standards. The property is functional and livable but requires minor to moderate updates to modernize its style and features.
