About this listing

Baker Ranch · Lake Forest’s Newest Master-Planned Community

Welcome to 49 Lavender — a beautifully appointed 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home in the heart of Baker Ranch, Lake Forest’s award-winning master-planned community. Spanning approximately 1,650 sq ft across two levels, this Mediterranean-style residence blends French Country charm with modern comfort, accommodating up to 6 guests in a setting that feels like a curated retreat.

✨ Space & Design

Foyer — Step through the front door into a dramatic two-story entry with a clerestory transom window flooding the space with natural light. Light gray wide-plank flooring runs throughout the main level, setting a clean, contemporary foundation for the home’s romantic aesthetic.

Living Room — A cream tufted Chesterfield sofa anchors the open-concept great room, paired with a damask accent chair and a traditional Persian-style rug in coral and sage. An electric fireplace set in a walnut entertainment console provides ambiance beneath a large flat-screen TV. Sheer curtains with pom-pom trim frame the windows, softening the abundant California light.

Kitchen & Dining — The L-shaped kitchen features white Shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, a mosaic tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances including a gas range and French door refrigerator. A generous peninsula with linen-upholstered counter stools doubles as a breakfast bar. The adjoining dining area showcases a French farmhouse table with shield-back chairs and an illuminated glass curio cabinet — perfect for both everyday meals and dinner parties.

Bedrooms — Three bedrooms upstairs, each thoughtfully furnished. The upper landing includes built-in storage cabinets and overlooks the foyer below.

🏡 Outdoor Space

The home features a private side patio ideal for morning coffee or evening unwinding, along with a rear yard with artificial turf and raised garden beds — low maintenance and always green.
