Set in the centrally located Palermo community of Carmel Valley, this townhome combines an open, functional layout with abundant natural light and an elevated position that creates added separation from the homes in front. The southwest-facing orientation brings afternoon light into the main living spaces, while the private front patio offers a comfortable outdoor extension of the home. Inside, upgraded flooring carries through the main level, where the living room, dining area, and kitchen flow together for easy everyday living. A stacked-stone fireplace surround and hearth add warmth and character to the living room, while a large sliding glass door draws in natural light and opens directly to the patio. The kitchen features wood cabinetry, white appliances, and an open connection to the surrounding living and dining spaces. A powder room and attached two-car garage with laundry complete the first floor. Upstairs, the southwest-facing primary bedroom takes advantage of the home’s elevated positioning, looking above the neighboring rooflines toward open sky and mature palms. The orientation provides excellent afternoon light and a greater sense of openness. A generous walk-in closet adds substantial storage, while the updated primary bathroom features dual vanities in a dedicated getting-ready area with a separate shower area for added functionality. Two additional bedrooms are positioned down the hall alongside a shared full bathroom. Coordinating upgrades in both upstairs bathrooms create a cohesive look throughout the level, while built-in hallway cabinetry provides convenient additional storage. Palermo residents enjoy access to a community pool and spa along with tennis courts, all within a highly convenient Carmel Valley setting. Elementary, middle, and high schools are within walking distance, as are nearby shopping, dining, and everyday services. With its bright southwest exposure, elevated setting, private patio, upgraded interiors, and central location, this home offers a comfortable and connected Carmel Valley lifestyle.
