More Insights

Built in 2006 (19 years old).
Condition: Built in 2006, this condo is 18 years old and presents as move-in ready with no immediate renovations required. The vinyl wood flooring is a modern update, and the exposed concrete ceilings offer a contemporary industrial aesthetic. While the kitchen and bathroom feature finishes (granite countertops, light wood cabinetry) that are consistent with its build year and show signs of being stylistically dated compared to current trends, they are exceptionally clean, well-maintained, and fully functional. Appliances are stainless steel and in good working order. There are no visible signs of significant wear, tear, or deferred maintenance, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria.

With secure entry, underground parking, and a prime location near major transit routes, this residence offers the perfect blend of urban energy and everyday convenience. Located in the sought-after Cortez Hill neighborhood, Cortez Blu offers a unique balance of urban convenience and residential charm.
