More Insights

Built in 1970 (56 years old).
Condition: Built in 1970, this condo has undergone significant and recent interior updates, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern shaker-style cabinets, sleek quartz countertops, and new stainless steel appliances (range and microwave), though the refrigerator appears older. The bathroom is also nicely updated with modern vanity, fixtures, and marble-look tile. Fresh paint and updated LVP flooring throughout contribute to a contemporary feel. While the popcorn ceilings and older window styles indicate the building's age, the extensive renovations to key areas (kitchen, bath, flooring) align with the 'Good' criteria for a property extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years.
