In my new Mansions in Paradise series series, I try to create mansions truly worthy of a paradise, whether earthly or heavenly. At once majestic, comfortable yet human in scale, Lakeside Manor, first in my new series, nestles along the shore of a cobalt blue lake. The gardens are lavish with flowers; radiant sunsets last for hours. This grand mansion is complete with cozy nooks where you might comfortably settle in for a warming cup of tea. A weathered old stone bridge invites visitors to stroll the verdant grounds, while the brook at the left provides a tranquil background murmur sure to make the spirit soar
