Reading the numbers

This is the highest just value of any parcel in this block of 1,044 Butler Chain records, and it is the only one carrying a value per foot above $1,000. It is also the second largest house on the street, which is where the surprise lives.

Compare it to its immediate neighbour. 9472 has 4,236 sq ft more building and is assessed $12,569,100 less. On floor area alone, 9472 should be the more valuable parcel. It is not. Something this roll does not itemise — lot position on the lake, shoreline length, the age and programme of the 2019 build against the 2005 one — separates them by nearly double.

That is the honest reading: at $1,044 a foot this is a land-and-position number, not a construction-cost number. It is the single clearest example on the chain of why per-foot rates cannot be carried from one parcel to another, even next door.

Reading the frontage

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

Lake Blanche is an interior Isleworth water body, not part of the Butler Chain proper. The value here is inseparable from Isleworth's position, and any copy describing Butler Chain frontage for this address would be naming the wrong water even though the property sits inside the community that made the chain famous.

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 explain the gap to 9472. The roll records the numbers; it does not account for them.
