Condition Analysis
OVERALL CONDITION SCORE
Property is move-in ready.
This condo is move-in ready with significant recent updates. The kitchen has been recently remodeled with modern quartz countertops, a tile backsplash, new cabinets, sink, faucet, dishwasher, and cooktop, along with canned lighting, presenting an excellent condition. Real hardwood floors have been installed throughout, and the electrical panel has been upgraded. While the property was built in 1963, these substantial interior renovations bring it up to a 'good' standard. The bathrooms, though clean and functional, appear to have an older tile style and vanity, suggesting they haven't been updated to the same modern degree as the kitchen, preventing an 'excellent' rating. However, they are well-maintained and do not require immediate renovation.

The property description explicitly states 'None' for views, which may be a drawback for buyers seeking ocean or city vistas in a coastal location.

The association fee of $700.00 per month is relatively high for an 820 sqft condominium, potentially impacting affordability despite the included amenities and services.
- Building Age
Built in 1963, the building is over 60 years old. While the unit has been updated, the age of the overall complex could lead to future common area maintenance or assessment concerns.
