Condition Rating
Good
This condo, built in 1984, has undergone significant and tasteful updates, making it move-in ready. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinetry, light speckled countertops, a contemporary gold-toned faucet, and black appliances that appear functional and well-maintained. The description highlights a 'spa-like bathroom with designer finishes,' and the overall aesthetic with recessed lighting, clean carpets, and custom built-ins suggests a renovation within the last 5-15 years. While not brand new or extensively renovated to 'excellent' standards (e.g., some black appliances instead of stainless steel, carpet in living areas), the property is well-maintained with minimal wear and tear, aligning perfectly with the 'good' condition criteria.

Cons
High Monthly HOA Dues: The $635 monthly association fee is substantial for a 1-bedroom unit, which can significantly impact overall affordability and potential investment returns.
Limited Living Space: As a 1-bedroom, 1-bath unit with 690 sqft, the property offers limited living space, potentially restricting its appeal to singles or couples and feeling compact for some.
Recent Price Reductions: The listing has undergone multiple price reductions from its original list price, which could suggest initial overpricing or a need to attract buyer interest in the current market.
