Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1972, this condo is over 50 years old. While freshly painted and appearing clean, the kitchen features original-style wood cabinets, dated yellow laminate countertops, and an old fluorescent light fixture, indicating it has not been significantly updated in decades. The carpets also appear dated. The property is functional and maintained, but requires substantial cosmetic updates, particularly in the kitchen and likely the bathroom, to meet current standards and add value.
Pros & Cons
Pros
Value-Add Opportunity: The condo presents a clear opportunity for buyers to customize and add significant value through personal touches and upgrades, appealing to those seeking equity growth.
Oversized Private Patio: Features a rare and desirable oversized private patio, perfect for outdoor living and entertaining, enhancing the lifestyle appeal.
Robust Community Amenities: Residents benefit from a well-maintained community offering lush green lawns, a sparkling swimming pool, and a peaceful, neighborly atmosphere.
Prime Location: Strategically located near schools (including a highly-rated elementary and very close high school), parks, shopping, and dining options, offering excellent convenience.
Dedicated Parking & Storage: Includes convenient 2-car tandem parking with additional storage cabinets, a valuable asset for condo living.
Cons
Limited Bathroom Count: The property features only one bathroom for two bedrooms, which may be a functional limitation for multiple occupants or guests.
Shared Laundry Facilities: Lacks in-unit laundry, relying instead on a community laundry room, which can be less convenient for some buyers.
Age of Construction: Built in 1972, the property's age suggests potential for future maintenance or renovation costs beyond cosmetic updates to modernize systems and finishes.
