Condition Rating
Good
Built in 1982, this condo has undergone extensive and stylish renovations, particularly in the kitchen and bathrooms, which appear to be updated within the last 5-15 years. The kitchen features modern white cabinetry, dark solid-surface countertops, a mosaic tile backsplash, and contemporary stainless steel appliances. Both bathrooms are tastefully remodeled with modern vanities, marble countertops, and updated tiling, presenting a move-in ready condition. Hardwood and tile flooring throughout are well-maintained, and lighting fixtures are modern. While the building's age is over 20 years, the significant interior updates elevate its condition. The primary drawback is the noted absence of central air conditioning, which is a key system component.
