More Insights
Built in 1982 (44 years old).
Condition: This condo unit, built in 1982, benefits from a significant remodel in 2022, which included new flooring, fully updated bathrooms, and upgraded recessed lighting, making it largely move-in ready. The bathrooms are modern with updated vanities, countertops, and tiling. The living areas feature contemporary LVP flooring and fresh paint. However, the kitchen, while clean and functional with granite countertops and a newer stainless steel range, retains older-style wood cabinets and a mix of white and stainless steel appliances (older white dishwasher and microwave), preventing it from achieving an 'Excellent' score. The overall building age also contributes to a 'Good' rather than 'Excellent' rating, despite the unit's recent improvements.
