Reading the numbers
Six bedrooms, six and a half baths, 5,778 sq ft. This is one of three parcels on Jacob Grace Ct carrying six bedrooms, and at 963 sq ft of house per bedroom it is the tightest of the three — 12750 gives each room 1,044 sq ft and 12824 gives 1,304.
$364 a foot is fourth-lowest of eleven. On a court where the land line is identical on every house — $800,000 filed against each lakefront parcel — rate differences are entirely about what the county attributes to the building. Here that is $1,303,280, or $226 a foot of building, which sits in the middle of the $196–$298 band occupied by ten of the eleven.
Its closest comparison is one address away, and it loses on both counts. 12750 has the same bedroom count, the same bath count, one year newer, 487 sq ft more floor, $153,510 more assessment, and a rate $3.8 higher at $360.2. Two houses built two years apart on the same plat, differing by less than 500 square feet, assessed within 7% of each other. Nothing in the filed fields distinguishes them beyond the floor area itself.
The house beside it in the other direction is the closest thing to a twin on the court. 12726 is 1,239 sq ft smaller, has one fewer bedroom and half a bath fewer, and is assessed $333,050 less — but prices $26 a foot higher. Smaller house, dearer foot: the ordinary arithmetic of a fixed land component spread over fewer square feet.
Six bedrooms and six and a half baths clears the one-bath-per-bedroom line, with the half bath spare. That is a claim the row supports. It does not follow that every bedroom has an attached bath, and a listing that says so is asserting something the roll does not record.
Reading the frontage
Lakefront is a mapped-polygon flag against Lake Butler. The parcel reaches the water. No shoreline length, dock, seawall, lift or mooring is recorded against it.
The distance field reads 1,628 m, third-lowest of the eleven and 75 m further than 12726. It is a position reference rather than a measurement of frontage; the county's own field rises without interruption along this court from 1,511 m to 1,936 m as the house numbers climb, and every one of those parcels is flagged lakefront regardless.
All eleven houses sit under Tildens Grove Ph 1 and were built between 2003 and 2007. Two recorded plats are not at work here, no water changes mid-block, and the parcel IDs on the lake side of this court ascend in step with the addresses — 470, 480, 500, 510 and on. There is one gap: 490, which belongs to 12732 Jacob Grace Ct, the vacant lakefront lot between 12726 and 12738. A gap in a parcel-ID sequence on this street means an unbuilt lot, not a missing record.
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 Lake Butler.
- It does not say which bedrooms have an attached bath, and no sale is filed against this parcel.
