Located "on the rim" in one of the Palisades Highlands' most coveted enclaves, this exceptionally private, beautifully updated end-unit townhome sets the standard for elevated coastal living. Boasting one of the community's most sought-after floor plans, this spacious residence offers 3 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms across a light-filled layout defined by soaring ceilings, a grand skylight, large picture windows and sliding glass doors that frame the natural beauty beyond. At the heart of the home, a designer-remodeled kitchen delivers true luxury in every detail: high-end stainless steel appliances, rich walnut cabinetry, sleek Caesarstone countertops, and a striking Calcutta marble backsplash. The space flows effortlessly into open dining and living areas built for entertaining, where a cozy fireplace, private patio and sweeping views set a serene, sophisticated tone. A private two-car garage offers direct entry into the kitchen for everyday ease. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite is a private retreat unto itself, featuring its own fireplace, a sitting area, a walk-in closet, and a private balcony for taking in the peek-a-boo ocean and mountain views. The spa-inspired primary bath is equally indulgent, featuring a dual vanity, exotic stone countertops, and a serene soaking tub. A second upstairs bedroom offers its own en-suite bath and plenty of closet space. The lower level extends the home's flexibility with a second primary-style suite, a generous family or screening room, and a full bath, perfect for guests or flexible living. An office on this level could also function as a fourth bedroom. Move-in ready with upgrades throughout, including brand-new hardwood flooring and fresh interior paint. Additional features include recessed lighting, central air and heat, dual pane windows and a reverse osmosis water filter system. Residents at Michael Lane Villas enjoy amenities including a newly renovated pool, spa, fitness center, and sauna, plus membership to the Palisades Drive Recreation Association, which includes open green space and designated off-leash dog hours. Set within the vibrant, close-knit community of Palisades Highlands, a neighborhood coming back stronger than ever. This is a rare opportunity to own one of the area's finest offerings.
