What should you verify next?

Each line above is labelled. A fact is quoted from the named source, with its date. A calculation is worked out by Districts from those facts — you can check the arithmetic. An interpretation is Districts' opinion of what the evidence means, not a fact, a valuation, or advice. Anything we haven't retrieved yet is marked as missing rather than treated as a pass.

Capital growth

ACT

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Confidence: medium

Zoned CF (AINSLIE). Official parcel area about 1,007 m². Dual occupancy is not confirmed from the controls loaded for this lot. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate. Zoning and lot facts are a starting point, not proof this lot outperforms the suburb. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $367/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.

What competition will it face?

Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property. Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded. Suburb vacancy or leased-tape days are not this property’s competition.

What does the yield actually look like?

Confidence: low

Yield cannot be shown without both a price and a rent figure. Net yield is not estimated from gross advertising copy. Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Verdict

What this means for this property

Districts view

Not enough official evidence yet to underwrite this as an investment.

Detail

The same ten questions apply to every property. Missing flood, nearby DAs, achieved rents, or lot geometry is unknown — not “no.”

Do not treat a suburb median, an advertised yield, or a listing score as the case for this lot.

The evidence loaded so far isn't enough on its own to change a buy, offer, or walk-away decision for this property.

Evidence

What is known for this property

Districts asks the same ten questions of every property. If one shows as unknown, that data isn't published for this state or hasn't been loaded yet — the question stays visible so you can see exactly what's missing.

3 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Knownmedium

    Zoned CF (AINSLIE). Official parcel area about 1,007 m². Dual occupancy is not confirmed from the controls loaded for this lot. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.

  • Honest achievable rent

    Knownlow

    This is not “bond data says this address leases for $X.” The comparable figure is a suburb advertised/median rent, not this property. This jurisdiction has no comparable official bond series in the free set.

  • Rental supply pressure

    Unknown

    Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.

  • Why is this cheap?

    Knownmedium

    Official parcel about 1,007 m² — land size can look like optionality. No material overlays were returned that would explain a discount. That is not proof the price is fair. Nearby DAs, easements, and flood-layer gaps can still explain a cheap-looking listing — those are not all loaded.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”

  • Catalyst exposure

    Unknown

    Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

  • This lot's DA history

    Unknown

    No DA adapter returned applications for this parcel.

  • Statutory land value versus ask

    Unknown

    Statutory land value is not available as free bulk data in this jurisdiction. Do not fake it with a suburb median.

  • Net yield / holding costs

    Unknown

    Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Enduring Beauty, Thoughtfully Reimagined

Some homes simply exist, while others shape the way you live every day. This is a home designed for connection, where space, comfort, and light come together to create a setting that feels both welcoming and effortless for family life.

Set within the prestigious Corroboree Park precinct, 1 Hargraves Crescent occupies a place within one of Canberra's earliest and most thoughtfully planned residential landscapes. Conceived in the late 1920s, this part of Ainslie reflects an enduring approach to neighbourhood design, where homes are set amongst established greenery, streets follow gentle curves, and a sense of openness and balance is felt at every turn.

That planning philosophy continues to define the experience of living here. There is a quiet rhythm to the tree lined streets, a softness to the landscape, generous parks and greenery, yet walking distance to Civic, Braddon and ANU. It is this combination of intention and maturity that gives the area its lasting appeal.

Read the full description

Beyond its charming façade, framed by a pathway of iconic Canberra Reds and softened by lavender and magnolia, the home reveals a seamless blend of character and contemporary design.

The original residence has been thoughtfully refreshed, where high ceilings, natural light and timeless proportions create an immediate sense of warmth. Three generous bedrooms sit within this portion of the home, each with built in robes and vintage French doors opening to the surrounding deck, offering an easy connection to the outdoors. A central bathroom and separate study provide flexibility for growing families or those working from home.

As you move through the home, the space opens beautifully into a stunning rear extension. Here, everyday living takes centre stage, with a large modern open plan design that brings together the kitchen, dining and living areas in one cohesive space, all overlooking the backyard and outdoor entertaining.

The kitchen is modern and refined, enhanced by clever custom cabinetry that provides extensive storage while maintaining a clean, considered aesthetic. This thoughtful joinery continues through the living space, creating a sense of cohesion and making day to day living feel effortless. Whether it is busy mornings, relaxed evenings or hosting friends, this is a space designed to bring people together.

Privately positioned at the rear, the master suite offers a quiet retreat, complete with a walk in robe and spacious ensuite.

Set on over 1000sqm, the outdoor spaces are just as impressive. The front garden is beautifully composed, while the rear unfolds into a series of decks, a level lawn and established greenery, creating multiple areas to relax, entertain and enjoy. A charming cubby house completes a backyard that feels made for family living.

Importantly, the home sits within a recognised heritage precinct, a designation that ensures the architectural character, spacing and landscape qualities of the area are carefully preserved. For buyers, this offers a rare level of certainty, protecting not only the visual integrity of the streetscape, but also the sense of space and amenity that define living here.

This is a home that offers space to grow, room to gather and a setting that will be appreciated for years to come.
