Reading the numbers
Four bedrooms, four baths. One bath per bedroom, exactly, with none to spare. An ensuite description is supportable here and this is the tightest such set on the street — no guest bath, no powder room margin.
$228 a foot is the lowest rate in the entire F block. It beats 5139 Fairway Oaks Dr's $533 and 9325 Fenton St's $251, and it sits on the largest house on Forest St after 50. It is $23 a foot below Fenton St's floor of $251, on a house 1,196 sq ft larger than the one carrying that figure.
That is the thing worth publishing: a 4,586 sq ft house on Wauseon Bay, with one bath per bedroom and a 1957 build, is assessed at $1,046,800 — $154,153 below the 2,543 sq ft house next door. A reader who assumes lakefront plus floor area equals value will get this street wrong in both directions.
1957 puts this house a year after 50 Forest St and twenty-two years before 70. Three houses, three decades of build year, one bay.
Reading the frontage
Lakefront is a mapped-polygon flag against Wauseon Bay, on the west shore of Lake Butler: the parcel reaches the water. No shoreline length, dock, seawall or lift is recorded against it, and the flag does not measure the water frontage.
“Part Of Lake Butler” is a section-portion description rather than a recorded lot-and-block plat. No lot number and no plat book citation appear in this record.
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 Wauseon Bay.
- It does not confirm condition or renovation. A 1957 build at this assessment is not evidence of an unimproved interior, and the reverse is also true.
