Reading the numbers
Lowest assessment on the drive and the oldest house on it. $3,189,440 from 1988, against $3,878,130 from 1997 next door and $6,341,050 from 1992 two doors along. Five bedrooms and four and a half baths on 6,536 sq ft — 1,307 sq ft of house per bedroom, second-tightest of the four on the drive behind 5506's 1,217 and ahead of 5500's 1,550 and 5518's 2,278.
$488 a foot is third of four. Above 5518's $394, below 5500's $625 and 5506's $744. The rate ordering across the drive, smallest to largest: 5500 at $625 on 6,201, this at $488 on 6,536, 5506 at $744 on 8,519, 5518 at $394 on 13,670. Only the last pair follows size; the first two break it.
Built 1988 — the earliest year on this stretch. That makes the drive a five-year arc of construction: 1988, 1990, 1992, 1997. Four houses, four different years, one lake. The roll files no renovation date, so nothing here says whether the 1988 house has been updated.
Five bedrooms, four and a half baths — the ensuite claim fails. One sleeping room short. That is now three of the four parcels on this drive that cannot support an “every bedroom ensuite” line: this one, 5518, and only 5506 clearing the count with margin, 5500 landing exactly level.
The least valuable house on the drive is not the cheapest per foot. 5518 is $2,197,050 more valuable and $94 a foot cheaper. That is not a contradiction; it is what happens when one house is more than twice the size of the other. Both numbers are correct, and a listing that quotes either one alone as evidence of value is quoting half the record.
Reading the frontage
Lakefront is a mapped-polygon flag against Lake Louise: the parcel reaches the water. The recorded distance field reads 971 m — the highest of the four on this stretch, closing a sequence that starts at 776 m at 5500 and rises address by address. A monotonic run across four parcels is a position reference, not a frontage measurement.
That 971 m sits awkwardly beside a lakefront flag, and the record does not reconcile the two. Both fields are as filed. A buyer should treat the flag as “this parcel reaches the water” and the distance as “this is where the roll places it”, and not read either as a statement about usable shoreline, dock rights or depth.
The parcel ID is 162328389901500 — four numbers above 5518's 1480, with 1490 unassigned in between. The four IDs on the drive ascend in step with the addresses, which makes this the cleanest sequence in the I block; Osprey Isle Ln, written in the same pass, has 21 parcels whose IDs run in no address order at all.
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 Louise, despite the 971 m distance field.
- It does not say whether the 1988 house has been renovated, added to, or left as built.
