126 Down Ct, Windermere, FL 34786

What the county record says

Reading the numbers

This is the largest canal-front parcel on Down Ct — 750 sq ft more floor than 115, 1,053 more than 116 — and its $987,520 assessment lands within $13,780 of 136 Down Ct, a lakefront house 189 sq ft larger across the street.

So it is not that canal addresses cannot reach a million. It is that a canal house needs roughly 50% more floor area to get there: 2,946 sq ft at $335 a foot against 3,135 sq ft at $319 a foot. The two parcels are within 6% of each other in value and 6% in floor area, on opposite sides of the water classification the court turns on.

Four bedrooms and three baths means one bedroom is without its own bath. At 2,946 sq ft, 737 sq ft per bedroom, that is a modest ratio for the size — this is a wide single-storey plan rather than a stacked one, as the 1963 build year would suggest.

Reading the frontage

Canal, not lakefront. The record flags this parcel against Little Lake Down with a canal water kind. No dock, seawall, lift or measured shoreline is carried.

Davis Shores First Replat governs all eight addresses on Down Ct, with lots and blocks on file. The water body is Little Lake Down — not Lake Down, and not the Butler Chain. The distinction is the single most common error in copy written for this street.

What this page is not

• It is not a listing. Nothing here says the property is for sale.
• It is not an appraisal. Just value is the county's assessment figure for its own tax year.
• It does not confirm a dock, a seawall or navigable access to Little Lake Down.
