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.

Source
Planning facts are copied from official government GIS where available. Where an official property PDF exists (VicPlan, PlanBuild), Districts stores and serves that original document. Neither is a planning certificate, survey, or advice.
Site
Terrain has not been calculated for this property yet.
Slope is calculated on a projected metric grid from a public DEM clip of the official parcel. This is not a survey, engineering, or insurance assessment.
Flood exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Bushfire exposure has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
The official layer maps a heritage listed area on this parcel, intersecting about 99.7% of it (NSW ePlanning Spatial Viewer, retrieved 30 Aug 2026). Verify the extent against the title before relying on unaffected land.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
NSWZoned Low Density Residential · R2 (Newcastle Local Environmental Plan 2012). Official parcel area about 113 m². Dual occupancy looks constrained by site overlays or terrain. Two-lot subdivision looks unlikely on the loaded constraints. 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.
Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Heritage constraint may block demolition or dual occupancy even on a large block. Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. The listing may look cheap relative to land or the street. What reduces it: Conservation Area - General. Heritage can block demolition and dual occupancy even when land size looks like a site. NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $610/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms. Heritage constraints are a maintenance and alteration cost, not usually a rent premium by themselves.
Current comparable rental listings within 400 m of this lot are not loaded. NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet. 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.
Yield cannot be shown without both a price and a rent figure. Net yield is not estimated from gross advertising copy. NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.
Verdict
Districts view
Loaded constraints look like they kill a naive land-size story. Pay house money, or walk, until a planner confirms a pathway.
Detail
The listing may look cheap relative to land or the street. What reduces it: Conservation Area - General. Heritage can block demolition and dual occupancy even when land size looks like a site.
Nearby competing dwellings and net yield are still unknown.
Evidence
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.

Listing material
Listed by Wilton Lemke StewartAuction Location: On-site
Offered for only the second time, this classic late Federation - early Edwardian residence quietly tells its story the moment you arrive. Set within the Hill Heritage Conservation Area, one of Newcastle's oldest and most significant residential enclaves, the home has changed hands just twice and has been held and loved for more than 30 years - now ready for its next chapter. Recognised as an integral part of this historic streetscape, the home sits among intact terraces, villas and homes dating from the 19th through to the late 20th century.
Spanning two levels, much of the original character remains beautifully intact. Leadlight windows throughout, 10ft ceilings, dark timber joinery and a brick fireplace give the home its rich period backbone. Rooms are generously proportioned in the way only homes of this era manage. The entry level holds adjoining lounge and dining rooms, a delightfully retro kitchen, laundry and second w/c, while upstairs you'll find three bedrooms and a shower bathroom. The main bedroom is the hero, with oversized proportions and a bay window that looks across King Edward Park to the ocean beyond. The remaining bedrooms enjoy elevated city views over Newcastle. Externally, the home retains its original facade with a rare bonus being a single carport in this tightly held pocket.
Yes, it needs restoration and repair, but the bones are exceptional. With Newcastle City Council preserving the special character of The Hill through a Local Environmental Plan that protects subdivision patterns, existing buildings, sandstone walls, trees, parks, coastal vistas and public open space, this is a genuine opportunity to honour the home's period soul while shaping a thoughtful modern future
Life in The Hill strikes a rare balance between coastal calm and city energy. Newcastle Beach, heritage-listed Ocean Baths, the Bogey Hole, King Edward Park and Darby Street are all close enough to shape your everyday routine, and some of the city's most sought-after schools sit just a short stroll downhill.
- Low maintenance 113sqm block
- King Edward Park and ocean views from front, city views at rear
- 650m to Newcastle Grammar
