Sweeping Santa Ynez Canyon views and streaming sunlight fill this Palisades Highlands townhome. Southwest-facing windows and a central skylight draw the sun across rich, refinished wood floors; mornings arrive softly, and by afternoon the rooms fill with a warm, golden glow. Approximately 2,002 square feet with two en-suite bedrooms and 2.5 baths, it offers the proportions of a house with lock-and-leave ease. The generous living room is made for unwinding: vaulted wood-beam ceilings soar overhead, a stacked-stone fireplace with a slate hearth rises the full height of the room, and the canyon fills the windows. Sliding glass doors open to a private patio framed by mature trees and lush plantings, with the mountains beyond: a serene setting for morning coffee or long dinners as the sun slips behind the ridgeline. Set a few steps above the living room, the expansive formal dining room overlooks it and the greenery beyond, a gracious setting for entertaining. It flows into an open kitchen where white cabinetry plays against dark granite counters, with stainless appliances, a double wall oven, gas cooktop, and center island. An adjoining breakfast area, den, or office with a wet bar and wine refrigerator invites easy gatherings. Move-in ready, with finishes rarely found in a townhome: skim-coated walls and ceilings, wide baseboards, detailed doors and trim, Emtek hardware, The Shade Store window treatments, sculptural custom railings, and distinctive light fixtures. Upstairs, wood-beam ceilings continue from the top of the stairway into both vaulted bedrooms. The primary suite wakes to mountain and ridgeline views, with a fireplace and a private balcony over the canyon. The walk-in closet, with floor-to-ceiling custom wardrobes and a built-in dresser, is a true dressing room. The spa-inspired bath has a deep soaking tub, a glass-enclosed mosaic-tile shower, and dual sinks flanking a seated vanity. The second bedroom offers an en-suite bath and two generous closets. Central air, a new tile roof and skylight, and a direct-entry two-car garage with built-ins complete the home. The community offers a pool and spa, fitness room, saunas, and 24-hour patrol, plus optional gated Highlands Park membership. Hike or bike into Topanga State Park from the Highlands, grab coffee at Palisades Highlands Plaza, catch a wave at iconic surf breaks, and end the evening at the newly reopened Palisades Village. Light-filled, peaceful, and wrapped in nature, this feels like home the moment you arrive.
