Reading the numbers
1940 is the oldest build year anywhere in this twenty-seven-parcel pass — eighty-five years old at the current certification, older than every Down Ct cottage by nineteen years.
Two bedrooms and two baths on 2,485 sq ft works out to 1,242 sq ft of floor for every bedroom. No other house in this batch comes close: 9711 Deacon Ct was the previous widest at 2,581 sq ft per bedroom on three bedrooms and five baths, and the large Isleworth houses run 700–1,100. At 1,242 this is a two-bedroom house with the floor area of a four-bedroom one, and the plan — not the assessment — explains it.
Two baths for two bedrooms is the one configuration on this lane where all-ensuite is arithmetically clean. It is also a 1940 house, so what is now a second bath may not have started as one; the roll records what exists today, not what was built.
$517 a foot is within $12 of 1924 next door and $31 above 2046. Three lakefront parcels, three rates inside a $31 band — the tightest per-foot cluster in this pass.
Reading the frontage
Lakefront is a mapped-polygon flag against Lake Down: the parcel reaches the water. No shoreline length, dock, seawall or lift is recorded against it.
The subdivision field is blank. Not a metes-and-bounds clause, not a plat name — nothing. That is not evidence the property sits outside a community or association; it is evidence the county roll cannot name one. Nothing about a 1940 lakefront lot should be published as being “in” a named subdivision on the strength of this record.
Older Lake Down parcels frequently predate the plats that now surround them, which is a plausible reading of a blank field here — but plausible is not recorded, and this page does not state it as fact.
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 Down.
- It does not guarantee the 1940 structure is unaltered — additions are not separately itemised in this record.
