You're example of what makes sense is correct. The unrecaptured 1250 gain is straight line accumulated depreciation (any accumulated depreciation that wasn't straight line is recaptured 1250 gain taxed at ordinary rates). In your case $30K is taxed at 25%. The remaining part of gain $50K is taxed at long term capital gains rates.
