Welcome to this bright and beautifully updated end-unit townhome tucked away on a cul-de-sac in the highly sought-after Palomino Woods development! With 1,441 finished sq ft, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, and an attached 2-car garage, this meticulously maintained home offers the perfect blend of comfort, style, and privacy on a corner lot. The updated kitchen impresses with crisp white cabinetry, gorgeous countertops, a classic subway tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. The dining area features warm wood and French doors that open directly to the spacious deck. The living room is bright and welcoming, with large bowed windows framing gorgeous wooded views. The generous primary bedroom includes a large walk-in closet. Head downstairs to the lower-level family room anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace - the ideal spot to unwind on a Minnesota winter evening. The star of the outdoor space is the expansive deck, offering the kind of peaceful, private backdrop that's truly rare in townhome living. A fresh new driveway (June 2026) adds great curb appeal the moment you arrive. Major mechanicals are taken care of with a new furnace (2023), newer water heater, and stainless appliances - giving you confidence and comfort from day one. Located just minutes from the Minnesota Zoo, Lebanon Hills Regional Park, area lakes, and scenic walking and biking trails, this is one of Apple Valley's most desirable areas. Don't miss this rare gem!
