South Shore Delavan Lakefront with Guest House
Delavan Lakefront with 110′ of lake frontage and just over 2 acres of grounds located on the South Shore in an area of very impressive and attractive neighboring properties. There is an existing modest main home that is usable in its present condition, but would be a perfect candidate for a potential remodel or renovation project. An adjoining Coach House is located on a separate tax key parcel that is also usable in its present condition but if removed, would enhance the appeal and desirability of the overall potential building site. A lakeside boathouse offers ideal toy storage with an expansive deck area on top for entertaining. The property and spacious grounds would also be a perfect setting and location for a beautiful new construction home on a fabulous estate type setting.
