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

  • FactLand 571 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Kennington (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,061/m² of land (n=80). 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.

Capital growth

VIC

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Planning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet. 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.” Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $529/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. Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown. 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

    Planning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.

  • 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.

THIS IS A THOUGHTFULLY CURATED TRANSFORMATION

Perfectly positioned in the heart of Kennington, this stunningly renovated and extended post-war weatherboard home radiates timeless charm, contemporary style and effortless modern living.

The transformation of the builder's own home is the result of a clear vision and a smart design combined with the use of premium materials.

Set within a streetscape of similar vintage homes, honouring the home's facade was paramount for the renovation; however, everything beyond the facade has been reimagined and replaced to promote, family-focused living.

Read the full description

The home features three spacious bedrooms with two sleek bathrooms both with underfloor heating, a study nook, and a large open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area.

Stepping inside, you will be captivated by the natural light-filled interiors, flawless finishes, high ceilings and beautiful, polished Stringybark timber floors throughout the living and traffic areas.

The central living area offers ample room for large-scale dining and relaxing.

In the extended section of the home, the sense of space lingers with the continuation of the high ceilings and tall, well-placed windows. It includes the two remaining bedrooms (robes/ceiling fans/built-in desks) and a study nook. The main bathroom, a powder room, the storage-rich laundry all with stone benchtops.

The kitchen is a showcase of bespoke matte green joinery. Stone benchtops and curved island. Featuring 900mm induction cooktop, oven and integrated dishwasher.

Some of the high-end finishes evident throughout the home include charred Shou Sugi Ban cladding on the extension.

All of the original weatherboards were replaced with fibre-cement weatherboards, which combined with the charred cladding and brickwork, make for a long lasting low maintenance home.

Combining timeless weatherboard charm with an ultra-modern upgrade and exceptional outdoor living, this practically new home delivers space, style and an enviable inner-suburban lifestyle.

It's perfect for all lifestyles - from families, professionals or downsizers.

THIS IS THE HEART OF KENNINGTON
