More Insights

Built in 2004 (21 years old).
Condition: The condo was built in 2004, making it 20 years old. However, the listing explicitly states 'Tasteful, modern updates include new flooring throughout, fresh interior paint, and new bathroom finishes.' The images confirm a very clean, updated, and move-in ready interior with modern aesthetics in the bathroom (new vanity, LVP flooring) and fresh carpet/paint elsewhere. The kitchen features granite countertops and includes essential appliances (refrigerator, dishwasher, in-unit washer/dryer). All visible components appear well-maintained and functional, indicating recent significant updates that align with the 'Good' condition criteria, making it move-in ready with no immediate renovations required.
