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 753 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 $712/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. 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 BourkesLee Smith & Bourkes are pleased to present this exceptional opportunity, a rare offering of a substantial family home on a generous green-title block, where opportunities like this are few and far between.
Set on a spacious 753m² corner allotment in one of Kensington's most family-friendly pockets, this impressive residence combines classic charm with a modern extension, delivering space, light, and flexibility in equal measure. Positioned directly across the road from Bill McGrath Reserve, the home is perfectly suited to growing families who value outdoor space, lifestyle convenience, and long-term potential.
Originally built in 1950 and thoughtfully extended, the home now offers an expansive 267m² under roof, with five bedrooms (4 beds + activity) and three bathrooms arranged to provide excellent separation between living and sleeping zones. The minor bedrooms are located on their own wing, each with built-in robes, while the private master suite enjoys a walk-in robe and ensuite.
At the heart of the home is a massive open-plan living and dining area with extra-high ceilings, flooded with natural light thanks to its north-facing orientation. The upgraded kitchen features stone benchtops, glass splashback, integrated dishwasher, gas cooktop & stainless-steel rangehood.
Flowing from the living zone is a generous alfresco area overlooking the pool, complete with outdoor blinds installed by the current owner. The pool itself has just been fully resurfaced prior to coming to market, ensuring it is ready for immediate enjoyment. A fully fenced front yard adds another layer of privacy and security, ideal for children and pets.
Accommodation for vehicles is exceptional, with a double carport with roller door plus a double tandem garage accessed from the secondary street. Notably, the garage offers the option to be converted into a studio or granny flat under current zoning provisions, particularly attractive given the corner-block access from Seventh Avenue.
Significant recent upgrades provide peace of mind and modern comfort, including a whole house re-paint (both inside & out) new blinds to the lounge and master bedroom, a new switchboard, new LED lighting throughout, new ceiling to the activity room (Bed 5), and reverse-cycle ducted air-conditioning. Sustainability and future-focused inclusions include a 5kW solar system, EV charger, and an external water filtration and ozone purification system servicing the home. An alarm system, reticulated gardens, and imminent underground power upgrade further enhance the offering.
The location is outstanding, moments from parklands, cafés, schools, and transport, while remaining close to the Swan River and major lifestyle precincts.
This is more than just a home, it's a long-term family holding with genuine future upside in one of Kensington's most tightly held streets.
