Reading the numbers

Three bedrooms and three baths is the tidy version, one bath per bedroom, on a house of 3,096 sq ft. That is 1,032 sq ft per bedroom, which is the second most spread out on Darlene Dr.

The comparison with 8836 is the one that matters. That house is 1,367 sq ft at $784 a foot; this one is 3,096 sq ft at $391. The smaller house is worth $139,320 less in total despite carrying double the rate. This is the same division trap that shows up all over the chain roll: a high rate per foot on a small building is not a high value.

Reading the frontage

Lakefront is a mapped-polygon flag against Lake Pocket: the parcel reaches the water. No shoreline length, dock, seawall or lift is recorded.

The legal description on Darlene Dr runs to a portion of a quarter section rather than a lot and block. That is not a defect — it is how this street was created — but it does mean that two neighbours here can have genuinely irregular boundaries, and that a listing quoting a lot size should be quoting the deed and a survey, not a plat sheet.

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 legal lot split. Metes-and-bounds parcels need the deed, not the roll.
