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
VICPlanning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet. 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.” Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $698/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. 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.
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 The Agency VictoriaSet on a prized corner block and held in the same family since 1968, this classic Victorian Terrace residence offers a rare opportunity to create something truly special in one of Melbourne's most tightly held suburbs. Lovingly occupied until the mid-90s, the home holds decades of memories and now presents an exciting chance for the next chapter to begin.
Believed to date back to the late 1800s, 23 Merton Street is part of Albert Park's rich architectural heritage. Surrounded by beautifully restored period homes, it retains all the hallmarks of the era – from its elegant brick façade and fire places to its deep block and high ceilings.
The location is truly one of its strongest assets. Just a short approximately 80-metre walk to Albert Park Village, with its cafés, shops and day-to-day amenities, this home sits right in the heart of local life. Public transport is effortless, with the Route 1 Tram only approximately110 metres away and the Route 96 Light Rail also close by. The beach isn't too far either - an easy approximately 900-metre stroll for morning walks or summer swims.
Also within walking distance are some of Melbourne's most iconic lifestyle destinations, including:
- St Vincent Gardens
- Albert Park Village
- Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre (MSAC)
- Albert Park Lake
- South Melbourne Market
- Albert Park Beach
- Gasworks Farmers Market
- Within the Albert Park College Zone
Dual street frontage on a prominent corner position, offering excellent accessibility and easy potential to create off-street parking (STCA).
This is a genuine renovator's opportunity. With its corner position and surrounded by quality homes, it promises to be a standout once fully renovated, offering plenty of space to design a home to enjoy and build lasting memories.
