No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.
No verification items generated for this record.
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 was queried and no heritage listed area was detected on this parcel (NSW ePlanning Spatial Viewer, retrieved 30 Aug 2026). Mapped layers change — this is the strongest all-clear Districts can give, not a certificate.
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 413 m². Dual occupancy is a permitted housing type in this NSW zone under statewide settings, subject to DCP and site constraints. That is not confirmation this lot qualifies. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate. If the dual occupancy pathway survives a planner’s check, this lot can outperform a same-suburb house that is hold-as-is only. That is not a forecast. 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.” Minimum lot size is not loaded, so two-lot subdivision is not confirmed. 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 $350/week — not this address. An inferred likely-rent range is not shown until official bond series are loaded for this dwelling type and bedrooms.
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
This looks more compelling as a land / capital-growth play than a pure yield play — if the dual occupancy pathway survives a planner’s check.
Detail
Zoned Low Density Residential · R2 (Newcastle Local Environmental Plan 2012). Official parcel area about 413 m². Dual occupancy is a permitted housing type in this NSW zone under statewide settings, subject to DCP and site constraints. That is not confirmation this lot qualifies. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate.
Achieved rent for this address has not been inferred. Gross yield on advertising copy is not the deal.
Nearby DA pipeline is unknown, so neighbourhood change is not in this verdict.
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.
4 of 10 questions answered so far
Development optionality of this lot
KnownmediumZoned Low Density Residential · R2 (Newcastle Local Environmental Plan 2012). Official parcel area about 413 m². Dual occupancy is a permitted housing type in this NSW zone under statewide settings, subject to DCP and site constraints. That is not confirmation this lot qualifies. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate.
Nearby development pipeline
UnknownNSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.
Honest achievable rent
KnownlowThis 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
UnknownSupply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.
Why is this cheap?
KnownmediumNo 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
UnknownFlood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”
Catalyst exposure
UnknownFunded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.
This lot's DA history

Statutory land value versus ask
UnknownNSW Valuer General land values are not loaded for this property yet.
Net yield / holding costs

Listing material
Listed by First National Real Estate Newcastle CityCommanding attention on Lawson Street and affectionately known as The White House, this circa-1915 Federation icon is the kind of home locals admire and families aspire to own. Rich in period detail yet confidently contemporary, it's been beautifully reimagined to deliver scale, light, and lifestyle in equal measure.
Recent upgrades, including Havwoods flooring throughout the ground floor, a striking new island kitchen, and a fully renovated upstairs bathroom, elevate the home further, layering Hamptons-inspired elegance over a layout built for modern family life. Multiple decks, seamless indoor–outdoor flow, and a Compass self-cleaning pool set the stage for year-round entertaining with zero compromise.
Inside, the character hits immediately. Leadlight windows, ornamental fireplace, and soaring 11-foot ceilings give the home presence and soul, while three separate living and dining zones let family life unfold without friction. The stunning new kitchen is the heart of it all. It's bold, functional, and designed to perform anchored by dual Neff ovens and a dual fuel 900mm cooktop that turns everyday meals and hosting into second nature. Parents are treated to a ground floor master suite with walk-in robe and ensuite, offering privacy and ease, while upstairs becomes a dedicated kids' domain with two oversized bedrooms, a beautifully finished family bathroom, and a private deck made for downtime. Light pours in from every angle, with skylights and tall louvre windows creating constant crossflow ventilation and an airy, uplifting feel throughout.
Step outside and the lifestyle keeps delivering, just 70m to Learmonth Park's sports fields, tennis courts, and playground, moments to Beaumont Street and The Junction for cafés and dining, and within easy reach of Newcastle's best beaches, the CBD, and a standout selection of schools. This is a family home that doesn't just impress, it leaves a lasting mark.
