Condition Rating
Fair
The property, built in 1959, is clean and well-maintained, but the kitchen is significantly outdated with older white cabinets, speckled countertops, and a mix of older white and black appliances, along with a dated fluorescent light fixture. While the living areas and bedrooms appear tidy with hardwood flooring, the overall aesthetic and fixtures, especially in the kitchen, suggest a renovation that occurred 15-30 years ago, or even older components. The lighting throughout is basic and dated. The property is functional but requires minor updates to meet current quality and style standards.

Substantial Monthly HOA Dues: The association fee of $691 per month is relatively high, adding a significant recurring cost to homeownership.
Original Construction Year: Built in 1959, the building's age could imply potential for dated systems or common areas, and the unit description does not specify recent major renovations, suggesting potential for buyer-initiated updates.
