Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1981, this condo is 43 years old. While the complex is described as 'updated,' the unit itself shows signs of renovations that are now quite dated, likely 15-25 years old. The kitchen features dark cabinets, speckled laminate countertops, white appliances (microwave, range), and a fluorescent light fixture, which are functional but not contemporary. The bathrooms also have dark vanities, speckled countertops, and strip lighting, with the notable presence of carpet in the vanity area, which is an outdated and less desirable feature. The flooring throughout is a mix of carpet and tile, with the carpet showing some wear. The property appears maintained but requires minor updates to the kitchen and bathrooms to meet current aesthetic and quality standards.
