A golden hillside rises behind this Las Palmas I residence, and from the moment you arrive, the scale and serenity of the setting make a persuasive case. Step inside to find soaring double-height ceilings gleaming in the natural light. High windows draw the eye upward, and warm hardwood floors run the length of the open main level. A fireplace anchors the space, while the staircase beckons you to the lofted walkway above. The galley kitchen features glass block accents and flows into a dining area wrapped in windows, each one framing a lush, private garden. Step through the door onto a handsome deck where a burgundy-leafed tree spreads its canopy above built-in benches, and the protected greenbelt unfolds behind the fence: sun-kissed, wild, and entirely yours. Upstairs, the primary suite has a calming energy: vaulted ceilings, treetop views, and an ensuite bathroom where a window frames the hillside in a wash of blue sky and luminous sunlight, reminding you to get outside and enjoy the parks and open green spaces just a few steps from home. Come enjoy a life along the Santa Lucia Mountains, minutes from the Monterey Peninsula.
