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.

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.
