Built in 1966, this condo has been maintained and features some updates, but the kitchen and bathroom renovations appear to be older, likely 15-25 years ago. The kitchen appliances (white built-in oven, cooktop, dishwasher, refrigerator) are dated, and while the dark granite countertops are functional, the white flat-panel cabinets are basic. The bathroom is clean but features dated shower tiles and a sliding glass door. The flooring and paint in the living areas are newer, but overall, the property requires minor updates to modernize the key areas.
