About This Home
As of August 2026Welcome to 24851 Stem Avenue, a beautifully renovated home tucked away on a spacious cul-de-sac in one of Lake Forest's most desirable neighborhoods. Offering 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and approximately 2,152 square feet of living space on a generous 7,000-square-foot lot, this move-in-ready residence blends modern style with everyday comfort.
Step inside to discover a bright, open floor plan featuring new flooring, fresh interior and exterior paint, updated lighting, and a completely remodeled kitchen with quartz countertops, custom cabinetry, and stainless steel appliances. The spacious living and family rooms provide multiple gathering spaces, while large windows fill the home with natural light.
Upstairs, the generously sized bedrooms offer flexibility for families, guests, or a home office. The primary suite provides a private retreat with an updated bathroom and ample closet space.
The backyard is designed for Southern California living, featuring a sparkling pool, expansive patio, and plenty of room for entertaining, relaxing, or creating your own outdoor oasis. The oversized pie-shaped lot offers exceptional privacy and usable space rarely found in the neighborhood.
Additional upgrades include dual-pane ENERGY STAR® windows, central heating and air conditioning, recessed lighting, modern finishes throughout, and an attached two-car garage.
Conveniently located just minutes from shopping (Trader Joes, REI, Etc), restaurants, parks, major freeways, and highly regarded Saddleback Valley schools, this home offers the perfect combination of style, comfort, and location. With NO HOA and a turnkey interior, this is a rare opportunity to own a beautifully updated home in the heart of Lake Forest.
