First $1 Million Sale for 2013 on Delavan Lake
Finally we have a sale this year above the $1 million mark on Delavan Lake. And it only took until the end of August. Last year, we had sales above the $1 million as early as April. The most recent purchase, located at 3331 South Shore Drive, took a long and exhausting path of price reduction after price reduction to get the job completed. Initially listed for a ridiculous $2,900,000 in October of 2008, this six bedroom, six bath, Frank Lloyd Wright look-alike was finally chopped to a more reasonable $1,295,000 before accepting an offer for $1,200,000. Resting on 1.3 acres with 140 feet of prime lakefront, the home is an attractive Prairie Style knock off with over 5,000 square feet of living space. Deferred maintenance and a choppy floor plan held buyers back on this lakefront until a reasonable listing price was established.
