Welcome home to your waterfront sanctuary! Seller says sell!! REDUCED!! Nestled within the coveted Lake Forest lakefront community, this immaculate single-story retreat offers a rare blend of serene natural beauty and refined Southern California living. With breathtaking lake views and direct water access, every detail of this home has been thoughtfully curated for those who appreciate both comfort and elegance. At the heart of the home, the recently updated kitchen is open, light, and bright — a true entertainer's delight. Thoughtfully appointed with soft-close cabinets and doors, it flows seamlessly into the living spaces, making hosting effortless. Peace of mind comes standard as well: the home has been fully repiped, and both bathrooms have been beautifully remodeled. The secondary bedrooms are generously sized, offering comfort and flexibility for family or guests. A convenient inside laundry room adds an everyday practicality that's easy to appreciate. Step outside to an expansive covered patio framed by elegant white columns, ceiling fans, and charming bistro string lighting — an ideal setting for year-round entertaining. A private dock provides direct lake access, perfect for leisurely sunset cruises along the calm, serene waters. The manicured backyard is beautifully landscaped with lush greenery, yellow flowering shrubs, a classic white picket garden border, and decorative iron gate accents that lend a timeless, refined character. The corner sitting lot opens gracefully to a sweeping greenbelt, amplifying the sense of space and tranquility. The single-story exterior showcases a classic Spanish-style tile roof and smooth stucco finish, while the thoughtfully designed drought-tolerant front landscaping — featuring agave, ornamental grasses, and native plantings — delivers effortless, year-round curb appeal. A two-car attached garage with decorative arched windows completes this remarkable home's practical offerings. Whether you're hosting guests beneath the pergola lights or gliding across the lake at sunset on your private boat, this Lake Forest gem is more than a home — it's a lifestyle. Opportunities like this, offering a private dock, covered entertaining patio, and all the charm of one of Orange County's most desirable waterfront communities, are truly rare. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of lakefront paradise.

Estimate only, not a loan offer or quote. Principal and interest use the Freddie Mac 30-year fixed average of 6.76% (week of Sep 10, 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.
