Strengths
Corner unit3.0 of 3.0 pts
Photos 10 and 11 show windows on two different exterior walls (back wall and side wall), suggesting a corner unit configuration.
Price fit2.4 of 2.5 pts
$1,700, 6% under your $1,800 to $2,500 band
Natural light2.1 of 3.0 pts
Multiple windows in the living/dining area flood the space with daylight (6, 9). Kitchen (8) and the sofa nook (5) also receive good light. Windows are sizable but not floor-to-ceiling, so not a perfect score.
High floor1.6 of 2.0 pts
The windows (Photos 5, 6, 8, 10, 11) let in ample daylight and show neighboring building facades, but the views do not clearly reveal significant elevation or a distant horizon. There is no unambiguous evidence that the unit sits on the 4th floor or higher.
Modern finishes1.4 of 2.0 pts
Modern white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, quartz-style counters, hardwood floors, and contemporary fixtures. Cohesive, updated look with neutral palette and current hardware.
Second bathroom1.0 of 1.0 pts

Bathtub
95% sure
Photo 2 clearly shows a white bathtub with a shower surround in the bathroom, alongside the toilet and vanity. Photo 0 shows a walk-in shower with tiled walls, and Photo 1 shows a shower stall with subway tile and a curtain, but the bathtub is confirmed in Photo 2. from zillow #1996 ↗
In-unit laundry
50% sure
None of the photos show a washer or dryer inside the apartment. Photo 4 shows an empty room with closets but no laundry equipment, and no floor plan is provided to confirm or rule out a washer/dryer within the unit. from redfin #947 ↗
Private balcony
20% sure
All visible windows are standard apartment windows with blinds; no balcony door, railing, or outdoor floor/patio surface is shown in any photo. Since no image captures the exterior of the unit or a private outdoor space, it cannot be determined whether a balcony exists. from zillow #1996 ↗

Corner unit
70% sure
Photos 10 and 11 show windows on two different exterior walls (back wall and side wall), suggesting a corner unit configuration. from apartmentguide #523 ↗

Natural light
/10
Multiple windows in the living/dining area flood the space with daylight (6, 9). Kitchen (8) and the sofa nook (5) also receive good light. Windows are sizable but not floor-to-ceiling, so not a perfect score. from zillow #1996 ↗
Modern & attractive
/10
Modern white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, quartz-style counters, hardwood floors, and contemporary fixtures. Cohesive, updated look with neutral palette and current hardware. from zillow #1996 ↗
Construction quality
/10
Solid appearance with hardwood floors, tile in the bathroom, and clean trim around doors and windows. Window frames look standard but well-finished. No exposed concrete/steel visible, so it reads as a decent stick-built apartment rather than high-end concrete. from zillow #1996 ↗
Office potential
/10
A dedicated desk area with office chair, mounted TV, and a window (16) functions as a home office. It appears to be a nook/alcove rather than a fully enclosed separate room, so moderate potential. from zillow #1996 ↗
Carpet
Hardwood flooring dominates the living, dining, kitchen, and entry areas (6, 8, 9, 15). Carpet is limited to the bedroom (14), which is fully carpeted. A small bath rug appears in photo 0 but is not wall-to-wall carpet. from zillow #1996 ↗
