Cedar Point Estate Creates Escape

Image
     Created through the combination of two lakefront parcels, the residence at 1617 Cedar Point Drive on Delavan Lake's North Shore, is an example of an estate created for the purpose of escaping the weekly rat race.      Lush landscape surrounds the property with a combination of French and English Gardens and a tranquil waterfall flowing through the center.  It is as though the order of the French plantings, with their rigid rows and attempt to control nature, meld into the relaxed flower beds of the English coverings symbolizing the transition from a rigid work week to a relaxing lake weekend. Gardens abound at 1617 Cedar Point Drive, Delavan Lake     Okay, that was a little thick.     Anyway, this place is magnificent.  Five bedrooms in the main house with an enclosed sun porch soaking up panoramic views of Delavan Lake, and a single bedroom apartment above the second garage that includes its own deck and kitchen facilities. Magnificent views of Delavan Lake      T

     One of the largest lakefront estates available on Delavan Lake has lowered the list price for the property by $25,000.      Carved into a wooded North Shore backdrop, with 221 feet of prime frontage, this classic walkout ranch is ready for an owner that wants privacy and functionality.  The home is part of what was once an expansive family estate that included pastures, outbuildings and Frank Lloyd Wright architecture.  The parcel was subdivided into a number of smaller family plots with one at the waters edge offering spectacular views of South Shore.      The house itself features four large bedrooms on the first level, with two facing the lake and two containing private bathrooms.  The master suite has direct access to a wrap around deck that also leads into the great room and dining room.      In the great room is a natural fireplace, two walls of windows.  The formal dining room is just off the kitchen which is accessed from the covered porch on the street side of th
