Condition Rating
Fair
Built in 2003, this condo is 21 years old. While the property appears well-maintained and clean, the kitchen features light wood cabinetry and dark granite-look laminate countertops, which are functional but reflect an older style. The stainless steel appliances are a positive, but the overall kitchen and bathroom aesthetics are dated. The bathrooms are basic with similar finishes. The property is move-in ready but shows signs of being outdated and would benefit from cosmetic updates to meet current design standards.

Cons
