Reading the numbers
The smallest house on Jacob Grace Ct, 1,745 sq ft under the largest. The court's floor area runs 4,077 to 7,822, and every one of these parcels is filed against the same $800,000 of land. That is the arithmetic behind the $434 rate: a fixed land component divided by fewer square feet. It is the third-highest rate of the eleven — only 12824's $768.3 and 12830's $447.5 sit above it — and the second-highest among the ten ordinary houses on the court.
Four bedrooms and four baths lands exactly on the one-bath-per-bedroom line. Not above it, as seven houses on this street are, and not below it, as two are. Equality is a different claim from a margin: it supports the sentence “four bedrooms and four baths” and does not by itself support “every bedroom ensuite”, because a plan can reach one-to-one with the fourth bath serving the hall. One other parcel here sits level, 12824 at six and six.
The comparison with 12720 is the sharpest on the street. That house is 578 sq ft larger and carries five and a half baths to this one's four. It is assessed $10,090 less. Two houses a few doors apart, one on the same $800,000 of land, and the smaller of the two is worth marginally more — while the larger carries the higher bedroom count and the better bath ratio. Any three of those measures rank this court differently.
1,019 sq ft of house per bedroom — middle of the court's range of 908 to 1,783.
Its improvement value is $968,360, or $238 a foot of building. That sits at the upper end of the $196–$298 band occupied by ten of the eleven houses here, which is what a smaller house on an identical lot produces: not a dearer building, a thinner spread of the same land.
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 or a private beach.
The distance field reads 1,825 m, ninth of eleven, in an unbroken sequence along this court that begins at 1,511 m and ends at 1,936 m. It is a position reference, not a frontage measurement — the smallest house on the street is not the one closest to the water by any filed measure, and the largest is not the furthest.
All eleven houses here sit under Tildens Grove Ph 1 on a single recorded plat, built 2003 to 2007. On this street the county files one land figure for the whole lake side — $800,000 against each of twelve parcels, the vacant lot at 12732 among them — and $225,000 to $250,000 against the twenty-two inland parcels behind them. The $550,000 to $575,000 gap between those two figures is the waterfront premium, stated as a number rather than a description.
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 whether the fourth bath is attached to a bedroom. No sale is filed against this parcel.
