About This Home

Tucked away at the end of a serene cul-de-sac, 25971 Donegal Lane blends comfort, style, and the quintessential Southern California lifestyle. This four-bedroom, three-bath residence has been thoughtfully updated for modern living, with an intuitive floor plan that offers both functionality and flow. A convenient main-floor bedroom and full bath provide versatility for extended family, guests, or a quiet home office. Inside, the atmosphere feels elevated yet relaxed. Natural light moves easily through the open living spaces, warming the contemporary finishes and creating an effortless sense of calm. The refreshed kitchen anchors the heart of the home with beautiful cabinetry and generous counter space that connects seamlessly to the family room. Step outdoors and you’ll find a private oasis — a sparkling pool and spa framed by lush greenery, perfect for long summer days or evenings spent under the stars. Recent upgrades add undeniable peace of mind, with a complete home re-pipe in 2022, a reconditioned roof in 2023, new water heater and newer HVAC system ensuring long-lasting comfort and care. The whole interior has been freshly painted with new carpet installed! Life in Lake Forest complements it all. The city’s 30-plus parks, scenic trails, and outdoor spaces capture the essence of the Southern California lifestyle. Weekends bring concerts at Pittsford Park, family hikes through Whiting Ranch, and local events that turn neighbors into friends. The home is also served by the award-winning Saddleback Valley Unified School District, making it equally appealing for families seeking quality education and community connection. With easy access to Orange County’s beaches, culture, and commerce, this address captures what it means to live beautifully in South Orange County!
