This sold listing is a great example of a high-quality, standard craftsman ranch in the community. It features nice finishes like quartz counters and a screened porch, but it lacks the ‘wow factor’ found at 102 Horseman Drive. The home for sale is much larger and features a more vertical, modern design with a second-story loft and balcony that provides a completely different lifestyle than a traditional ranch. While this property sold for a lower price per foot, it doesn’t offer the same level of custom architectural detail or the elevated views found at 102 Horseman Drive.

This is a classic ‘location vs. condition’ comparison that helps frame the value of 102 Horseman Drive. This sold listing on Sagamore is a true lakefront property with a private boathouse, which explains why it commanded a much higher price despite being nearly 20 years older. When you look at the photos of this property, you’ll notice dated honey-oak cabinetry and older carpet, whereas 102 Horseman Drive offers that crisp, move-in-ready modern aesthetic that many of today’s buyers crave. You are trading the direct water access for a brand-new, maintenance-free home with contemporary style.

Comparing these two properties on the same street gives us a great look at the different architectural styles available in Lake Royale. While this sold listing offers a beautiful mid-century modern aesthetic on a single level, 102 Horseman Drive provides a significantly larger footprint and a second-story balcony designed specifically to capture lake views. The interior finishes at 102 Horseman Drive lean more toward a high-end ‘modern luxury’ feel with that massive chef’s island and sleek fireplace wall, whereas this property has a more minimalist approach. You are paying a premium for the extra space and the vertical design that maximizes the community’s best asset—the water.
