Reading the numbers
Six thousand square feet and four bedrooms. 1,514 sq ft of house per bedroom, second only to 12744's 1,783 on this court. Seven of the eleven houses here carry four bedrooms, and this is the most generous of them per room. The five- and six-bedroom houses on the same plat are tighter arrangements of similar volume.
It sold in 2026 for $3,500,000. The assessment is 60% of that — the widest gap on a street where three parcels have a filed price and the ratios run 60%, 70% and 84%. This is the clearest single illustration in this pass of what a just value is and is not: it is the county's figure for its own tax year, not a valuation of the transaction. An assessment 40% below a recorded price on the same parcel is ordinary, and it is not evidence that either number is wrong.
$346 a foot is second-lowest of eleven, above only 12744's $308. Among the ten houses below the outlier, the band runs $308 to $448. Land is the flat $800,000 filed against every lakefront parcel here, so the improvement is $1,293,740 across 6,054 sq ft — $214 a foot of building, matching 12726 almost exactly on a house 1,515 sq ft larger.
Built 2007, tied as the newest on the court with 12830. That makes it one of the last two houses finished on the plat, and the roll's effective year matches the actual year on both, which is not always the case.
Four bedrooms and four and a half baths clears the test by half a bath — thinner than most of its neighbours, and the only house on this street that clears it by exactly that margin on a six-thousand-foot plan.
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 1,786 m, seventh of eleven, inside the unbroken run from 1,511 m to 1,936 m along this court. It is a position reference, not a frontage measurement.
All eleven houses sit under Tildens Grove Ph 1, built 2003 to 2007 on one recorded plat, with the same lake and the same $800,000 land figure filed against each lakefront parcel. On a court this uniform, the only thing separating the houses in the roll is the improvement line — which is why the rate per foot on this street is a statement about the building and not about the ground under it.
What this page is not
- It is not a listing. Nothing here says the property is for sale now.
- 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 $3,500,000 sale in 2026 included, or whether any bedroom has an attached bath.
