Reading the numbers
Seven thousand one hundred and thirty square feet, and four bedrooms. That is 1,783 sq ft of house per bedroom. Nothing else in the eleven houses on Jacob Grace Ct comes close: the court's next-lightest arrangement is 1,514 at 12812, and its densest is 908 at 12726. A four-bedroom plan at this floor area is not a house organised around sleeping rooms. Across the whole roll it is the 101st-highest ratio of the 1,039 houses measured, so it is unusual in this county but not the extreme — the largest ratios belong to outbuildings and estates carrying one or two bedrooms across many thousands of square feet.
Four bedrooms and three and a half baths fails the one-bath-per-bedroom test. Half a bath short, and short by two full baths if the reading is one attached bath per bedroom. On a 7,130 sq ft house that is the sharpest version of this failure anywhere on the street — 12806 fails at 4 and 3.5 on 4,558 sq ft, having less room to hide the gap in.
$308 a foot is the lowest rate on the court and, among the ten houses below the single outlier at 12824, it is the floor of a $139 band. The ten run $308 to $448. It is also the largest house among those ten, so the ordinary rule — dearer foot on the smaller house — holds at the top of this street even though it breaks elsewhere.
Its improvement value is the lowest per foot on the court. The land is $800,000, the same as every lakefront parcel here, leaving $1,397,790 attributed to 7,130 sq ft — $196 a foot of building. The other nine non-outliers run $206 to $298. So this is not merely a cheap parcel: it is the one where the county's building line is thinnest, on the second-largest house on the street.
Compare it with 12726. That house is 2,591 sq ft smaller and carries one more bedroom and two and a half more baths. It is assessed $427,560 less. Its rate is $82 a foot higher. Two houses on one plat, one street apart, describing almost opposite ideas of what the floor area is for — and the roll files no field that distinguishes them except the counts themselves.
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, and the flag does not establish a navigable channel.
The distance field reads 1,667 m. That is a position reference, not a frontage measurement, and it sits in an unbroken sequence along this court from 1,511 m at 12720 to 1,936 m at 12836 — every parcel in that run flagged lakefront regardless of the number.
All eleven houses here sit under Tildens Grove Ph 1, built 2003 to 2007, on a single recorded plat. On this street the county files the same $800,000 land value against all twelve lakefront parcels, including the vacant lot at 12732. That is the cleanest statement of the waterfront premium in this registry: $800,000 for the lake side of the court, $225,000 to $250,000 for the inland side, and a $550,000 to $575,000 gap filed as a single number rather than argued over.
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 what the remaining 3,093 sq ft of house beyond a four-bedroom allocation is used for. No sale is filed against this parcel.
