Districts View
No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.
No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.
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.

Planning
Planning data is being calculated
Data unavailable
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.
Heritage listing has not been retrieved from any source for this property yet. Unknown is not the same as clear.
Records
Events are recorded observations from public listings, kept with their source and date. Missing values are shown as unknown, never estimated.
Capital growth
WAWA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 204 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.
Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.
Rental
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.
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.
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
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
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 Mark HayThis is your chance to own a piece of history with the rare opportunity to become the proud new owner of this classic heritage-listed Bakers Terrace home.
The striking façade, framed with a classic wrought-iron front fence and matching intricate lacework lining the upper balcony level, helps transport you to back to 1897 when these Iconic homes were built and became the talk of the local community!
This delightful home sits pride of place among the row of historic terraced homes, beckoning for a new owner to let their creative juices flow and create a wonderful fusion of traditional features with contemporary comfort.
The eye-catching courtyard entry is the perfect combination of a federation tiled porch which frames the central garden and the ideal place to sit with a morning coffee and watch the world go by.
Upon entering, you are welcomed by the 19th century features including the eye-catching jarrah staircase with turn-post railings that winds its way up the upper level of the home, 12 foot ceilings, decorative cornicing, picture rails, ceiling roses, moulded architraves, high skirtings and original feature fireplaces – all the essential ingredients that will become the cornerstone of this reinvigorated grand old lady of the past.
Immediately on your left sits the huge family room with new carpet and views to the front courtyard and featuring the decorative fireplace framed by the carved period mantle-piece.
The new carpet continues through the impressive open archway which divides the family room and the spacious formal dining area with its own feature fireplace and this leads through to a tidy terracotta-tiled kitchen at the rear and the adjoining rear sitting room/lounge, flooded with natural light through the large colonial windows and doors that overlook the rustic back patio and courtyard area.
Completing the ground level is a basic second bathroom and separate toilet with handy under-stair storage space
The imposing central staircase and the two minor double bedrooms at the upper level are also showcased with new carpet, with both of these bedrooms offering views to the surrounding streetscape and some city glimpses.
With the precedent set by other homes in this Bakers Terrace group, seeking council approval to create a rear entertaining balcony would provide an amazing setting for numerous evenings with family and friends enjoying stunning views of the evening city lights.
Again, by seeking council approval, a possible third attic level may also be allowed under the roof-space, as already exists in some of the adjoining homes. This could be an ideal extra family room or extra bedroom with gabled windows and lends itself to the possibility of seeking further approval to create a top level rear entertaining balcony, which will make an enormous difference to the quality of the city views and would become a natural extension of the living space.
The massive main bedroom rests at the first level exposing the original Baltic pine antique floorboards, decorative fireplace and double doorway through to the first level balcony overlooking the attractive streetscape with an array of period homes including the monumental Ensanada Coronada building, built originally for visiting Spanish Royalty
Cleverly positioned on the first level is a quaint bathroom with both bath and shower and the opportunity to reinvigorate this to become a charming addition to service all three bedrooms
Adding to the appeal of the home is the rustic rear courtyard which offers you the choice to create rear on-site parking through your own iconic rear laneway.
This council-protected laneway is a segregated part of the total land holding belonging to 178 Lake St, and is popularized by the extensive graffiti art, with a permanent easement in place, allowing access to all users.
A pleasing bonus is knowing that a council allowance of 3 free car parking street permits is available for a new owner, which can be transferred on a continual basis by yourself amongst family and friends as you please
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 the opposite direction leads you to the ever-popular Hyde Park, popular bakeries, 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.
With the home perfectly positioned in the midst of one of Perth's most popular precincts, be quick to secure this rare gem as the Bakers Terrace homes rarely last more than a day!
The home is offered for sale with “Expressions of Interest” and is being sold in an “as-is” basis.
Previously, this was home to John Robin Warren, a Nobel Prize–winning Australian pathologist whose groundbreaking research with his colleague Barry J. Marshall, proved that Helicobacter pylori bacteria cause most stomach ulcers, transforming global treatment for millions. His discovery was recognised with the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2005, and remains one of the most significant medical breakthroughs of the modern era.
