Property is moderate renovation needed.
Built in 1982, the property is well-maintained but remains largely in its original state. While the kitchen has been refreshed with new stainless steel appliances, the interior features significant dated elements including popcorn ceilings, wall-to-wall mauve carpeting, mirrored walls, and original oak vanities with Hollywood-style lighting in the bathrooms. It fits the 'Fair' criteria as a 40+ year old home with only minor updates rather than a comprehensive renovation.

The 1,201 sqft floor plan features vaulted ceilings, multiple skylights, and a smart separation of bedrooms that ensures privacy and versatility for a home office or guest suite.
The association fee of $1,274 per month is notably high for this price point, which may deter budget-conscious buyers or impact financing qualification.
While the unit offers two parking spaces, the tandem arrangement requires moving one car to access the other, which can be a daily inconvenience for multi-driver households.
