Condition Rating
Good
This condo, built in 1968, has undergone significant cosmetic updates that make it move-in ready. The kitchen features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, and the bathroom boasts a refreshed vanity with modern fixtures and lighting. The flooring has been updated to a modern wood-look laminate in living areas and clean carpet in the bedroom. While the building is older and the heating system appears to be a wall-mounted unit rather than central HVAC, the unit itself shows good maintenance and recent renovations (likely within the last 5-15 years) that align with a 'Good' condition rating, rather than 'Excellent' due to the age of the building and some less modern elements.
