What should you know about this lot before spending serious money?

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $1,200,000 (13 Oct 2022).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Perth (last 5 years) with land size: median $5,534/m² of land (n=10). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.

What could make it worth less?

No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.

What should you verify next?

  1. 1Official planning layers are still retrieving for this parcel — check back before relying on zoning or overlay absence.
  2. 2No hazard layer has been retrieved — confirm flood, bushfire and heritage exposure from council mapping before an offer.

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.

Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.

Capital growth

WA

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

WA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 201 m² — that is not official geometry. A suburb median or growth rate is not a reason this particular lot would outperform. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” 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 $669/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms. No recorded off-street parking — often a discount versus the suburb median for the same beds.

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.

1 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    WA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 201 m² — that is not official geometry.

  • 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. Official bond files (postcode or suburb × type × bedrooms) are not loaded yet.

  • Rental supply pressure

    Unknown

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

  • Why is this cheap?

    Unknown

    The constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). 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

    Development applications have not been queried 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.

History in the Making!

This is your chance own a piece of history with the rare opportunity to become the proud new owner of this original Heritage listed Bakers Terrace home.

Let your creative juices flow and breathe new life into the already striking façade, framed with a classic wrought-iron front fence and matching decorative lacework lining the upper balcony levels, helping transport you to back to 1897 when these Iconic homes were built and became the talk of the local community!

This delightful home sits proudly amongst the historic row of terraced homes, with its eye-catching wooden windows and traditional wood panelled entry door, distinguished by its decorative coloured leadlight, blending perfectly against the earthy pastel-coloured walls. The front courtyard garden is the perfect size and ready to be transformed. Imagine the difference with the addition of some decorative heritage tiling framed by lush garden beds and a feature fountain!

Read the full description

Enter through the front door and be welcomed by the 19th century features including the extra-wide jarrah floorboards, 12-foot ceilings, decorative high wooden skirting boards, architraves and central ceiling roses and cornices.

This entry level encompasses the family room with working fireplace framed by the carved period mantle-piece. Sitting adjacent through the decorative archway is the formal dining area, also with its own decorative fireplace and its not hard to imagine how this room could be brilliantly transformed by creating an open doorway through to the kitchen beyond. The spacious tidy kitchen with Baltic pine ceiling sits at the rear of the home with ample cupboard space, gas cooktop and newish oven and grill. Sitting on standby and ready to be restored, is the original meters wood oven, neatly fitted in to the corner alcove with surrounding chimney mantle.

Completing the entry level, adjacent to the kitchen is the combination laundry and bathroom. Beyond the kitchen is the rear porch which overlooks the back garden that could be transformed into a rustic cottage garden that backs on to the rear laneway. If you wish, you can add garage parking off the rear laneway, otherwise, you can enjoy the benefit of 3 free street parking permits all year round.

Winding back through the passageway you will find the timber staircase with ornate timber balustrade leading to first floor. This level features the massive main bedroom with Baltic pine polished antique floorboards, decorative fireplace and double doorway through to the first level balcony overlooking the front courtyard below. From here, the views are of the attractive streetscape with the array of period homes including the monumental Ensanada Coronada building, built originally for visiting Spanish Royalty.

The second and third bedrooms also rests on this level, as does the family bathroom with both shower and bath. A couple of the other homes in this Bakers row of homes have added a third level over the years, and this option may be explored with council, which could see the addition of rear balconies that would enjoy stunning city views.

Situated only minutes to Perth's CBD, this unique abode is in one of Perth's most sought after and highly desirable Character Precincts. Lake Street leads into the vibrant Northbridge café and shopping district. Going in the opposite direction leads you to the ever popular Hyde Park and a further walk to the Mount Lawley café district, Robertson Park Tennis Club, WA Italian Club and an array of popular cafes and restaurants.

For those looking for something different with the desire to add their own personal touches to make this home their own, this substantial classic residence offers a unique living situation with a lock up and leave life style amongst the charm of a bygone era.
