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?

Confidence: medium

Zoned GENERAL RESIDENTIAL ZONE - SCHEDULE 1 · GRZ1 (ZN). Official parcel area about 638 m². Dual occupancy is not confirmed from the controls loaded for this lot. Two-lot subdivision is unknown without minimum lot size and frontage. This is a screen, not a planning certificate. Zoning and lot facts are a starting point, not proof this lot outperforms the suburb. Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

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. Official parcel about 638 m² — land size can look like optionality. What reduces it: DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY - SCHEDULE 1. This overlay can reduce what the land size appears to promise. 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 $459/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.

    Unknown

    Supply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.

  • Why is this cheap?

    Knownlow

    Official parcel about 638 m² — land size can look like optionality. What reduces it: DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OVERLAY - SCHEDULE 1. This overlay can reduce what the land size appears to promise.

    Unknown

    Flood overlay has not been queried for this lot. Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”

  • This lot's DA history

    Unknown

    No DA adapter returned applications for this parcel.

  • Statutory land value versus ask

180 degrees of Inspiration - Price Adjustment!

Memories of a past era flow through my mind as I wander through this immaculately, lovingly, restored home with Brinnie T Design of Cowes. Flashbacks of fish and chips by the seaside when San Remo was just a small fishing village. This home proudly positioned one of San Remo’s most prominent hills, has stood the test of time and is as magnificent and stylish now, as it was when it was architecturally designed in the 1970's. A solid brick two storey under roof home with towering pagoda, solar panels and small putting green on the deck are just some of the little quirks that give this home that "special something".

With panoramic views of the bay and bridge from nearly every window in the house, you would be forgiven for never wanting to leave. Freshly painted and rewired throughout with new guttering, downpipes and plumbing, including hot water service with no expense spared. With all the hard work done this home is looking for you to move in and enjoy.

Upon entry you are greeted with elegant lead-lighted front door and luscious carpeted staircase winding up and opening into the huge living space with floor to ceiling windows and antique feature fireplace. Beautiful Silver grey ‘cashmere touch’ mink carpets give the whole area a luxurious feel and the new drapery just adds to the beauty and softness.

A fully renovated kitchen complete with double integrated fridge/freezers, oven and microwave, has been beautifully finished with under cabinetry lighting and optional sliding door offering separation or open plan living.

The powder room features Florence Broadhurst wallpaper and the completely renovated bathroom has recently been featured by Reece Australia and ADP in their instagram stories. The wall hung vanity in the bathroom has inbuilt LED lighting strips and the tap wear is all Australian designed and made.

One of the best features of this beautiful home is the Formal dining area with its Glass sliding doors and 5 metre high Pagoda Ceiling offering light from the roof and the surrounding north facing windows.

Invite special guests offering them the choice of 2 quaint bedrooms with BIR’s or a 3rd bedroom with ensuite and WIR. The Master bedroom commands a large enough space for 2 King size suites complete with balcony, leadlighted feature windows and views across the bay.

The study is a sweet spot of its own, providing the perfect balance of simplicity and inspiration with a direct view of the bridge and showcases blueprints of the original house framed on the wall and a built in desk and shelving, write your next great novel here.

The garden is a beautiful blend of zen pebbles and succulents and natives with a few special plants that have stood in place for over 50 years on the mount and are watered with the large water tank. Side street access provides an alternative access to avoid the stairs if required.

An opportunity to secure your little piece of history and a solid home that will stand the test of time with arguably one of the best views in the South East. Arrange a private inspection today.
