More Insights

Built in 1990 (35 years old).
Condition: Built in 1990, this condominium has been well-maintained and features several key updates that make it move-in ready. The kitchen boasts modern stainless steel appliances, though the cabinetry style and countertops appear to be from an earlier update, not brand new. The bathroom, however, shows signs of a recent and tasteful renovation with contemporary tiling, vanity, and fixtures. The inclusion of mini-split systems for cooling and heating, along with hardwood flooring in main areas, indicates functional and updated systems. While not a full, top-to-bottom renovation within the last 5 years to qualify as 'Excellent,' the significant updates and overall well-kept condition place it firmly in the 'Good' category.
