Channelling Your Delavan Lake Ambitions

     As much as some of us hate to admit it, (especially me) we cannot always get what we want.  So we compromise or do without.

4320 East Drive - Delavan Lake

     Well, in regards to a Delavan Lake vacation home, compromise may never feel as good as the home located at 4320 East Drive in South Shore Manor.
     This is no ordinary home, and not really much of a compromise.  What you give up is a direct lake view, and high taxes, and twice the purchase price.
     What you gain is direct lake access, a new home, quality finishes, and carefree vacations.
     From the moment you walk in the back door, (back being street side and front being lake side) you can feel the quality construction with solid wood floors, an open concept, and direct views to Brown's Channel.
Wood floors and open concept greet you as you enter the home

     There is a warm and cozy feel with an inviting wood fireplace with stone hearth in the great room and tasteful painting and decorating throughout the home.

     Through the font patio doors, off the great room, is a large concrete patio with a built-in fire pit.  The patio leads directly to your private boat lift and expansive seawall along the 90 feet of water frontage.
Loft area looks into great room and lets in sunlight stream in

Your private water access just off the patio leads directly to Delavan Lake

     Priced at only $350,000, this three bedroom, two bath recreational retreat is ready to enjoy now and especially when the ice finally melts away.  The channel leads directly to Delavan Lake and provides protection from summer storms and rough waters during heavier boat traffic hours.
     This is definitely one to consider if you are on a budget or want to avoid the higher costs of a home on the main body of Delavan Lake.

Delavan Lake First Half 2023 Real Estate Update

Image
      Sales of Delavan Lake properties remained constrained for the first half of 2023.    The lack of inventory was the main culprit along with home owners reaching for excessively high valuations.      For the first half of the year, we saw three lakefronts sold compared to only one last year.    Interestingly enough, the value of the one sold last year exceeded the total sales price of the three sold this year.      Lake access sales were equal with 19 homes being sold this year and 19 being sold last year as well.    The price range for lake access homes sold this year started at $124,000 for a small cottage in the Delmar subdivision and increased to $460,000 for a three bedroom ranch in the Ravenswood subdivision at the west end of the lake.    The home in Ravenswood originally listed for $545,000.      Lake Access Condo sales slowed to 13 in 2023 compared to 20 in 2022.    Units ranged from $43,400 for a condo/hotel room in the Lake Lawn Resort to $410,000 for a two bedroom condo
