More Insights

Built in 1982 (43 years old).
Condition: This condo, built in 1982, has undergone significant recent renovations, including new custom thick white oak wood flooring, dual-pane windows, a newer Hydronic HVAC system, and fresh interior paint, making it largely move-in ready. The main living areas present a modern and well-maintained appearance. However, the kitchen, while having updated cabinets and a modern refrigerator, still features dated laminate countertops, a standard double-basin sink, a basic range, and an outdated fluorescent box light. The visible bathroom vanity also appears basic. These elements prevent it from achieving an 'Excellent' rating, but the extensive updates to major systems and finishes qualify it as 'Good'.
