Built in 1989, this condo is 35 years old, but has undergone significant recent updates that make it move-in ready. The description highlights 'thoughtfully refreshed' interiors with fresh paint, skim-coated ceilings, new plumbing, new bathroom light fixtures, mirrors, and faucets. The kitchen features new stainless-steel appliances (stove/oven, dishwasher) and updated plumbing, though the white tile countertops and cabinet style appear older. Hardwood flooring throughout is a plus. The HVAC system was recently serviced, and a new Nest thermostat installed. While not a full gut renovation, these extensive updates bring the property's condition well into the 'good' category, ensuring major systems are functional and cosmetic elements are fresh.

Private Balconies & Natural Light: The property benefits from two private balconies (one off the living area, one off the primary bedroom) and ample natural light due to its elevated hillside positioning.

Cons

MLS Listing Discrepancy: Lot size discrepancy between mls listing and other public or private record. mls listing lot size in square feet =73575, other record lot size in square feet = 73627.
High Monthly Association Fees: The association fee of $555.00 per month is a significant recurring cost that buyers must factor into their budget.
Washer/Dryer Not Included: While plumbing hookups for an in-unit washer are provided, the actual washer and dryer appliances are not included, requiring the buyer to purchase and install them.
Building Age: Built in 1989, the building is over 30 years old, which, despite recent unit updates, may be a consideration for buyers preferring newer construction or anticipating potential future common area maintenance.
