Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 1976, this condo is well-maintained and move-in ready, but shows its age in key areas. The kitchen features updated stainless steel appliances, but the light wood cabinetry appears dated. The bathroom is functional and clean, but the vanity, countertop, and tile flooring reflect an older style. While there are modern touches like recessed lighting and updated flooring in the living areas, the property has not undergone a full, recent renovation, placing it in the 'fair' category where minor updates would significantly enhance its appeal.

Cons

Limited Square Footage: The unit's compact 450 sqft living space may be a significant drawback for buyers seeking more expansive accommodations or those with larger household needs.
High Monthly Association Fee: A $416 monthly association fee is relatively high for a unit of this size, potentially impacting the total cost of ownership and buyer affordability.
