McCarty's Lakehurst: 25 parcels, two streets, split lots

McCarty's Lakehurst is 25 parcels in the Johnson County record, all of them addressed on South Lakehurst Drive or South Lakeview Drive. There's no published build era, no sourced builder, no home size range and no usable lot size, because the county's acreage attribute is largely null across this plat. What the record does show is that lots were split: several parcels are described as fractional, the south half of Lot 21 or part of Lot 10, so a 25-house community holds houses on full lots beside houses on halves. Widths vary, and so do the window schedules that follow from them.

Documented styles are ranch and small two story, which suits the 12 to 18 opening range. Set that against 108 parcels in Southbrook and 27 contributing buildings in the Martin Place historic district and you can see what kind of job this is: small and individual, impossible to template. The plat name carries the McCarty family, characteristic of Franklin's older individually platted subdivisions rather than of the invented estate names used elsewhere in the metro. Nothing about a 25-parcel lake plat repeats the way a production section does, and nothing in the county record tells you when any of it was built, since Johnson County's parcel layer carries no year built attribute at all.

Lake facing glass in McCarty's Lakehurst

Orientation here isn't set by a county road the way it is in Stonybrook or Southbrook. It's set by the water. Lots oriented onto the lake have open rear or front exposure across it, with no neighboring house and no fence line between the glass and the low sun, and open exposure is exactly what makes morning and evening light difficult to manage. The other elevations on the same house look at a neighboring lot instead. So a Lakehurst house usually needs two specifications rather than one, and with only 12 to 18 openings the split runs roughly half and half.

Casing depth isn't sourced for this plat, and neither is the build era, so both get read at the house. Specialty shapes aren't confirmed here either, which matters more than it sounds: we won't quote you for an arch or a transom in McCarty's Lakehurst until we've stood in front of one. Squareness gets a three point measure as a matter of course. And because several lots were split, two houses on South Lakeview Drive can carry genuinely different window widths in the same room position, so a measure doesn't carry from one address to the next even inside a 25-house plat.

What we specify on the water in McCarty's Lakehurst

This is a small job done properly rather than a large job done fast. Twenty five houses, 12 to 18 openings each, and a view that is the entire reason the address exists. So the money concentrates on the water elevation, and the rest of the house gets a sensible, less expensive answer. National pricing puts custom treatments at $250 to $2,600 per window and motorized at $300 to $1,500 per window installed. Fade is the other consideration on an open water exposure: NFRC attributes 40 to 60 percent of fading damage to UV, so a solar fabric slows what happens to floors and furniture rather than stopping it. Lead time is 2 to 5 weeks.

Two streets, one lake, and Franklin Community Schools

McCarty's Lakehurst sits in ZIP 46131 in Franklin, and its entire street list is two names: South Lakehurst Drive and South Lakeview Drive. Both take their name from the lake the plat is named for, which is the community's only landmark and the reason its orientation is unusual for this city. Franklin is otherwise defined by creeks, Young's Creek, Hurricane Creek and Canary Creek, and the June 2008 Midwest floods damaged more than 100 Franklin homes, after which the city converted flood damaged property into green space along those corridors. Schools are Franklin Community School Corporation, feeding Franklin Community Middle School and Franklin Community High School.
