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 698 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.

(to do a 'drive by', go to the end of the cul de sac on Bourke St, Kensington and look for our sign)
Nestled at the end of a quiet cul de sac and one of Kensington's most central locations, sits this fully renovated character family home, boasting an impressive landholding of 698m2. The pinnacle of family living, the property fuses a well thought-out floorplan offering plenty of room for all, while also incorporating a flexible layout that is far more spacious than most.
Though advantageously encompassing the traditional elements of 1950's design, with generously proportioned living areas and period features, it's the modern entertainment facilities that really put the icing on the cake in this incredible residence.
Through the Bourke Street entrance, your eyes will instantly be drawn to the home's spectacular contemporary finishes. The large alfresco, with white timber recessed ceilings contrasting the matt black fixtures and durable Ziptrack blinds, assures you comfort, while overlooking the kids playing in the big and beautiful back garden.
Flowing effortlessly from the alfresco is the spacious open-plan living, kitchen and dining. Needless to say, this area is filled with an abundance of natural light. Though with plenty of potential, the kitchen is already super functional, consisting of a Westinghouse dual gas freestanding cooker, a double sink, Miele dishwasher, and a separate scullery. The broom cupboard positioned off the dining area could very easily be transformed into your dream wine cellar.
Neatly tucked away in the west wing of the property is a peaceful adults oasis. The generously-sized bedroom is complete with a large walk-in-robe, split-system air conditioning, and an ensuite bathroom with a double vanity, shower, WC, and a bathtub with a lovely outlook to the back garden.
Two additional bedrooms, positioned at the front of the home are both generous in size with reverse-cycle air-conditioning and plantation shutters. These bedrooms share the super bright and modern main bathroom with a bathtub / shower, matt black tapware and WC, heated towel rails and a vanity with stone benchtop.
The main entrance to the property paves the way to the ultimate summer poolside pad. Built-in seating surrounds an open fire pit, the perfect spot to sit and relax while overlooking the crystal-clear heated swimming pool and spa. Complementing the already amazing entertainment package is a spacious poolside cabana that could play host to many Aperol spritz gatherings during the summer season, or the ideal “curl up with a good book” nook on a Sunday afternoon.
The real pièce de résistance of the home however, is the fully self-contained studio. Perfect for teenagers, older-generation family members, an AirBnB (subject to AirBnB approval), home office, or student accommodation, the light and airy double-storey studio offers a lot of flexibility. A stylishly renovated full-size kitchen delights with a 4 zone induction cooktop, integrated rangehood, Fisher & Paykel dishwasher drawer, built-in convection microwave oven, Caesarstone benchtops, and plenty of storage. A modern bathroom/laundry, study nook, living room, private deck, and a loft-style bedroom with room for two queen-sized beds, really puts into perspective just how big the space is.
In case all of this wasn't enough, the location is also a great foot in the door to secure a large slice of Kensington life.
10-minutes to the Perth CBD, around the corner from the award-winning Little Banksia cafe, and 5-minutes to the Burswood Entertainment Complex, your weekends just got a little bit more exciting! You are conveniently nestled between both the Angelo Street shopping precinct and the Hawaiian Park Centre, both featuring a variety of supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and other fabulous local amenities. Numerous local Primary Schools such as Kensington Primary are close by, as well as Prestigious schooling such as Wesley, Penrhos and Aquinas College. There are several public transport routes nearby, which will take you straight to Curtin University, just 5-minutes away, and the Perth CBD. Enjoy a round of golf at the Collier Golf Course just 3-minutes down the road, or a morning walk to the South Perth Foreshore, just 7-minutes away.
Not only convenient, but super friendly, Bourke Street is renowned for its family street parties, a testament to its good old-fashioned sense of community and neighbourhood that is so rarely found these days.
Other features include:
- Secure, electric gated off-street parking for two, plus additional tandem parking with lots of room to store your trailer, boat or caravan
- Outdoor hot and cold shower
- Fountain wall with LED lighting
- Spacious laundry
- Gas-heated swimming pool and spa
- Fully reticulated gardens
- Original Wandoo floorboards throughout main house
- Three garden sheds and under-deck storage
- Towering lemon-scented gum in the back garden
