The home

About 22526 Lake Forest Lane

A smooth white stucco exterior and restrained lines create a calm architectural presence, softened by the movement of the lake just beyond. Expanses of glass draw natural light deep into the interiors, shifting throughout the day and settling into warm tones at sunset.

Inside, the main living space opens with double height ceilings and a sense of volume that feels both expansive and composed. The kitchen sits naturally at the center, defined by clean cabinetry, integrated appliances and a generous island designed for gathering without excess. A main level bedroom offers flexibility for guests or a private workspace, tucked seamlessly into the overall flow. The rear of the home opens fully to the lakefront. A simple composition of lawn, lounge space and private dock meets the water’s edge, where reflections, open views and direct access create a setting that feels both calm and connected. It is a backyard defined less by structure and more by its relationship to the water. Upstairs, the primary suite is oriented toward the lake, offering a quiet retreat with soft light and uninterrupted views. Secondary rooms remain flexible in use, all connected by a full length balcony that introduces a different perspective. Balanced and understated, the design leans into simplicity, allowing light, material and setting to define the experience.

Estimate only, not a loan offer or quote. Principal and interest use the Freddie Mac 30-year fixed average of 7.03% (week of Sep 24, 2026); your rate will differ. A loan this size is typically a jumbo loan, which prices differently. Tax and insurance are modelled, not billed amounts; tax uses a typical Lake Forest rate, excluding Mello-Roos. Verify all figures. Full assumptions and disclosures.
