Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1982, this penthouse is well-maintained and move-in ready but features largely original or dated finishes. The kitchen contains 1980s-style fluorescent light boxes, green square tile backsplashes, and older black appliances rather than modern stainless steel. The presence of mirrored walls, older carpeting, and original cabinetry throughout the unit indicates that while the home has been cared for, it has not undergone the extensive modern renovation required for a higher rating.
Middle School: Central Middle School (9/10).
