Condition Rating
Good
This condo, built in 1980, presents as move-in ready due to significant cosmetic updates. It features newer flooring throughout, a bright and functional kitchen with clean appliances and updated countertops (though cabinets are an older style), and a clean, updated bathroom with a modern vanity and light fixture. While the property's age suggests major systems may be older, the visible components are well-maintained and refreshed, aligning with the 'Good' condition criteria of being extensively renovated within the last 5-15 years for its cosmetic elements and requiring no immediate renovation.
