Districts View
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.

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
ACTZoned RZ1 (FORREST). Official parcel area about 1,309 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.
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. Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $570/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.
3 of 10 questions answered so far
Development optionality of this lot
KnownmediumZoned RZ1 (FORREST). Official parcel area about 1,309 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.
Nearby development pipeline
UnknownNearby development applications are not loaded for this property.
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. This jurisdiction has no comparable official bond series in the free set.
Rental supply pressure
UnknownSupply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.
Why is this cheap?
KnownmediumOfficial parcel about 1,309 m² — land size can look like optionality. No 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
UnknownNo DA adapter returned applications for this parcel.
Statutory land value versus ask
UnknownStatutory land value is not available as free bulk data in this jurisdiction. Do not fake it with a suburb median.
Net yield / holding costs
UnknownNet yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

Listing material
Listed by Blackshaw ManukaStep into history with this beautifully restored 1920s worker's cottage, where the ethos of custodianship is truly celebrated. This exceptional property showcases a perfect blend of classic charm and modern luxury. With renovations spanning from 2016 to 2024, every detail of this home reflects years of love and commitment to preserving its rich heritage.
A previous custodian of this treasured home was Sir Arthur Tange AC, CBE, who was responsible for the master bedroom wing extension in 1957.
Soaring 3m ceilings adorned with restored 1920s cornices, architraves, and skirting boards lead you through this luxurious home. Original 1920s internal doors and cast iron Commonwealth Crest floor vents add to the historical allure.
Enjoy new solid grey ironbark timber floors throughout, perfectly complementing the home's original features. Both the formal lounge and family room boast rebuilt fireplaces, to reveal a stunning replica Louis XIV marble facade from Fox Antiques in the family room. Double-glazed Schuster tilt/turn windows and French doors, paired with thermal Nordic honeycomb blinds, ensure tranquility and energy efficiency.
This stunning kitchen features 40mm stone benchtops, a pantry/appliance cupboard and high-quality Miele kitchen appliances, including an induction cooktop and a Delonghi red/white wine fridge nestled in a beautiful island bench equipped for entertaining.
The home features three generously sized bedrooms with built-in robes and blockout blinds. A magnificent king-sized master bedroom and ensuite bathroom offer a Victoria and Albert volcanic rock bathtub, double vanity, and exquisite finishes, including ribbed glass doors, chandelier and waterfall patterned tiles from Ukraine.
Laundry with matching stone surfaces and a private study room used by Sir Arthur Tange provide both functionality and comfort. The study remains as an homage to its former owner, with metres of shelving and storage.
Experience year-round comfort with ducted gas heating, evaporative cooling, and a separate AC unit in the master bedroom. The property is fitted with an alarm system, enhancing both safety and privacy.
Manicured landscaping featuring heritage bricks creates multiple outdoor rooms, providing complete privacy from neighbours.
Everything has been thought through: from the gradient of the master bedroom patio allowing future wheelchair access ramp, to the hidden power point in the kitchen island bench, to the separation of the water supply and sewerage with the other residence.
23 Furneaux Street is more than just a home; it's a piece of history awaiting your stewardship. We invite discerning buyers to embrace the era, the history, and the meticulously executed renovations that define this stunning residence.
