Reading the numbers
At $1,013,000 this is the most valuable of the eight Down Ct parcels, on 2,300 sq ft built in 1959 — a house 3,504 sq ft smaller than 105 Down Ct and assessed $789,240 lower in rate-adjusted terms, yet still the top of the court.
$440 a foot sits between the canal group ($242–$348) and 125's $526, which is where a mid-sized lakefront parcel should land on this street. The pattern holds: on Down Ct the water flag sets the band, and floor area moves you within it.
Four bedrooms and two and a half baths is the sharpest ensuite gap on the court. Two full baths across four bedrooms means two bedrooms have no bath at all, with only a half bath left over. No reading of this record supports “every bedroom with its own bath”.
Reading the frontage
Lakefront is a mapped-polygon flag against Little Lake Down: the parcel reaches the water. No dock, seawall, lift or measured shoreline is recorded against it.
Davis Shores First Replat is the governing plat. The body of water is Little Lake Down — separate from Lake Down, separate from the Butler Chain lakes. A 1959 cottage on a small lake and a 2025 build on Lake Down at 1 Down Dr are $4.28 million apart in assessment; that gap is the property, not a data error.
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.
