About this home

Welcome to 86 Lakeside Drive, an upgraded lakefront home in Buena Park’s gated Lakeside community. Rarely available, this spacious 5 bed / 4.5 bath residence showcases sweeping water views from the kitchen, breakfast nook, and family room, blending comfort, elegance, and resort style living. A dramatic two story entry opens to a formal living room with fireplace and vaulted ceilings and a large dining room for gatherings. The updated kitchen features granite counters, stainless appliances, a generous prep island, pantry, and tile flooring, and flows to a warm family room with custom built ins, crown molding, and a second fireplace. Flooring: tile throughout the first floor; wood (laminate) on the second floor. The flexible layout includes a downstairs ensuite, ideal for guests or multi gen living. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a double door entry, spa like bath (dual vanities, soaking tub, separate shower), a large walk in closet, and a private balcony with tranquil lake views. Three additional bedrooms (one ensuite) and a versatile study/tech loft complete the second level. Curb appeal and outdoor living shine: new front landscaping with modern hardscape, step/ledge lighting, and low maintenance turf. In back, new upgrades per photos, an expansive tiled patio for lounging and dining, covered seating areas, a balcony, and an outdoor bar/entertaining zone, perfect for gatherings or quiet evenings by the water. Owned solar with 27 panels installed two years ago, fully paid, helping keep electric bills very low, especially in summer. A three car garage adds storage and convenience. Community amenities include a scenic private lake (catch and release fishing and boating), a Junior Olympic size pool, clubhouse, fire pits, BBQ areas, lakeside walking/jogging path, playground, basketball court, and parks. Close to Metrolink, Los Coyotes Country Club, shopping, dining, and top schools. Low HOA dues and no Mello Roos. A rare opportunity for lakefront living in one of North Orange County’s most desirable neighborhoods.

Tile on the first floor and wood (laminate) on the second; convenient downstairs ensuite; three car garage. Stroll the lakeside path to the clubhouse and pool; minutes to shopping/dining, Metrolink, and freeway access. Low HOA; no Mello Roos.

Condition Rating
Good

Built in 1999, this property has undergone significant and recent upgrades that elevate its condition. The kitchen features modern white shaker cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, including a smart refrigerator, indicating a renovation within the last 5-15 years. Bathrooms are also updated with modern vanities, fixtures, and a spa-like primary bath with a soaking tub and separate shower. Flooring consists of well-maintained tile on the first floor and wood laminate on the second. Recent exterior upgrades, new landscaping, and owned solar panels installed two years ago further enhance its appeal and functionality. While not a brand-new construction or a full renovation within the last 5 years, the extensive updates make it move-in ready with no immediate renovation required, aligning perfectly with a 'Good' condition score.
Pros & Cons

Pros

Prime Lakefront Location & Views: Direct lake access within a gated community, offering sweeping water views from multiple key living areas and the primary suite's private balcony, enhancing desirability and lifestyle.
Extensive Recent Upgrades & Modern Amenities: Features an updated kitchen with high-end finishes, custom built-ins, new front landscaping, an expansive hardscaped backyard with an outdoor bar, and a fully paid-off owned solar system (27 panels) for energy efficiency.
Spacious & Flexible Floor Plan: A generous 5-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom layout (3600 sqft) including a convenient downstairs ensuite for multi-generational living or guests, a luxurious primary suite, and a versatile study/tech loft.
Resort-Style Community Amenities: Access to a private lake for recreation (fishing/boating), a Junior Olympic size pool, clubhouse, fire pits, BBQ areas, walking paths, playground, and sports courts, fostering a resort-like lifestyle.
Favorable Financial & Geographic Location: Benefits from low HOA dues and no Mello Roos, situated in a desirable North Orange County neighborhood with excellent proximity to Metrolink, country club, shopping, dining, and top-rated schools.

Cons

Laminate Flooring on Second Level: While the first floor features tile, the second floor utilizes laminate wood flooring, which some discerning buyers might perceive as less premium compared to solid hardwood, especially in a luxury price point.
Potential for Community Activity/Noise: The property's lakefront position within a community offering extensive amenities (pool, playground, basketball court, walking path) could lead to higher levels of activity and associated noise, potentially impacting the tranquility for buyers seeking ultimate seclusion.
Shared Lakefront Access/Privacy: Despite being lakefront, the presence of a 'lakeside walking/jogging path' suggests that the immediate lake access and views might not offer complete private seclusion, as community members would have access to the path directly adjacent to the property.
