Condition Rating
Good

This condo, built in 2004, is 20 years old, placing it at the upper end of the 'Good' category based on age. The description highlights 'tasteful, modern updates including new flooring throughout, fresh interior paint, and new bathroom finishes.' The images confirm these updates, showing a recently renovated bathroom with a modern vanity, light fixture, and wood-look flooring. The kitchen features granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, which are functional and well-maintained, though the cabinet style appears to be from the original build or an earlier renovation, not a brand-new, high-end installation. The overall condition is move-in ready with minimal wear and tear, and major systems are functional, aligning perfectly with the 'Good' criteria for a property that has undergone some recent updates but not a full, extensive renovation.
