The yellow dot was Brad's childhood home at 1826 Camelot Drive built in 1971. The Red dot was the location of the Pharo estate (4 acres) from 1951 - 1999. The Pharo property was divided up into 5 lots by Mike Pharo and sold. The Johnson estate is now located on the 3rd lake front lot (3 lots down the shore for Brad's childhood home on Camelot Drive).
