     The cost of ownership for a luxury Delavan Lake property has been reduced once again.      This time, the property is located on the South Shore along a stretch of homes often called "Millionaire Row".       Initially placed on the market at $1,999,000 this completely rebuilt lakefront has been reduced drastically to $1,599,000 offering a quick sale and the opportunity for a new owner to enjoy the romantic summer sunsets.      The home features five spacious bedrooms including a suite on the first floor attached to a lakefront deck, and an enormous master suite on the second floor with breathtaking lake views, spa-style bath, and a walk-in closet large enough to accommodate a small dinner party.      The property rests on  80' of South Shore frontage, has a private dock and well-manicured lawns.  There is a lakeside deck and also a patio for outdoor entertaining.       Inside, the owner spared no expense with ten foot ceilings, crown molding, granite counters
