In #16: Not far from our house is a beautiful lake.

If you want to say that the subject is “beautiful lake” as a whole, this will be clearer and more comfortable to the listener.
Actually, to make a generalization, they taught us in school to delete any modifier especially the modifiers that describe the subject.
The modifier that describes the subject in the sentence #16 is a very simple adjective.

But look at this sentence:

Watching television, standing alone with his little brothers and sisters, and waiting his parents to come, Rami felt so bored.

The subject of this complex sentence is “Rami.”
But this subject is modified and described by three participial phrases; you will see that writing the subject with its modifiers, in the sentence above, is a very tedious thing.

So the generalization is not to mention the modifiers of the subject, avoiding the difficulties in more complex examples.
