    Tucked away on a peaceful cul-de-sac in the heart of Mesa Verde’s coveted Inner Loop, 1696 Palau Place offers the perfect mix of comfort, character, and potential. This single-story home features 3 spacious bedrooms plus a versatile bonus room—ideal as a home office or 4th bedroom—and 2 full bathrooms across 1,776 sq. ft. of living space. Sitting on a generous 8,319 sq. ft. lot, it provides plenty of room for expansion and the opportunity for a creative buyer to add their own style and vision. Inside, you’ll find hardwood floors throughout, a warm gas fireplace in the living room, and a chef’s kitchen fully remodeled in 2019—showcasing Viking appliances, quartz countertops, a large island, and modern finishes. A 200-amp electrical panel installed in 2020 ensures the home is ready for today’s lifestyle. Living in Mesa Verde means more than just a great location—you’ll enjoy close proximity to Mesa Verde Country Club, Costa Mesa Golf Course, top-rated schools, and local parks, along with a neighborhood that celebrates community with festive 4th of July gatherings, Halloween fun, and a cherished Christmas parade. Move-in ready with plenty of potential for personalization, this home is a rare find in one of Costa Mesa’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
