Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1970, this unit is well-maintained and has been recently painted, but it lacks a comprehensive modern renovation. The kitchen and bathrooms feature dated cabinetry and older appliances that, while functional, do not meet current luxury standards. The absence of in-unit laundry and the overall vintage of the interior finishes align with the fair condition category.
