Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1963, this property is aged but has received recent cosmetic updates including new luxury vinyl plank flooring and fresh paint, making it clean and move-in ready. However, the kitchen features extremely dated appliances (notably a pink built-in oven and electric coil stovetop) and a pink sink, along with older cabinets and laminate countertops. The bathroom also presents with dated vanity and fixtures. While functional, the major components in the kitchen and bathroom are significantly outdated and would require substantial renovation to meet current quality standards and buyer expectations.

Cons
Stock Cooperative Ownership: This ownership structure is not traditional fee-simple, potentially impacting financing options, equity accumulation, and resale processes.

High Monthly Association Fee: The $552.00 monthly association fee is substantial for a unit of this size, despite covering a broad range of community amenities.
