What should you know about this lot before spending serious money?

Why this property?

  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Adelaide (last 5 years) with land size: median $6,622/m² of land (n=9). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.

What could make it worth less?

No detected risks — but see the checklist: absence of evidence is not an all-clear.

What should you verify next?

  1. 1Official planning layers are still retrieving for this parcel — check back before relying on zoning or overlay absence.
  2. 2No hazard layer has been retrieved — confirm flood, bushfire and heritage exposure from council mapping before an offer.

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

Why this lot, not just this suburb

Why could this property outperform?

Planning 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.

What could kill that thesis?

Confidence: low

Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.” Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $449/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. Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question. 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.

1 of 10 questions answered so far

  • Development optionality of this lot

    Unknown

    Planning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet.

  • Nearby development pipeline

    Unknown

    Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

  • Honest achievable rent

    Knownlow

    This is not “bond data says this address leases for $X.” The comparable figure is a suburb advertised/median rent, not this property. Official bond files (postcode or suburb × type × bedrooms) are not loaded yet.

  • Rental supply pressure

    Unknown

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

  • Why is this cheap?

    Unknown

    The constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.

  • Lot-level flood

    Unknown

    Official flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”

  • Catalyst exposure

    Unknown

    Funded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.

  • This lot's DA history

    Unknown

    Development applications have not been queried for this parcel.

  • Statutory land value versus ask

    Unknown

    Statutory land value is not available as free bulk data in this jurisdiction. Do not fake it with a suburb median.

  • Net yield / holding costs

    Unknown

    Net yield / holding costs are not estimated outside NSW without inventing land tax.

A Storybook 1880 Stone Cottage - Rich in History, Warmth & Charm

Auction Location: onsite

McLaren Street stands among Adelaide's most enchanting and tightly held residential streets, admired for its collection of late-19th-century cottages and terraces that showcase the city's early architectural character. Homes dating from the 1880s and 1890s line this intimate streetscape, creating a village-like atmosphere rich in heritage and community spirit within the sought-after East End.

Behind a storybook facade, this beautiful circa 1880 stone cottage with rendered quoins at 24 McLaren Street captures the warmth and romance of a bygone era. A classic verandah with white picket fence frames the entrance, offering a welcoming place to enjoy a quiet morning coffee or relaxed evening retreat. The original stonework and charming street presence blend effortlessly into the leafy, character-filled surroundings.

Read the full description

Inside, classic character blends with modern updates. Key improvements are already in place, making the home immediately liveable, with further scope to personalise while retaining its heritage features.

Features you will love:

- A light-filled lounge room for comfortable living

- An updated white gloss kitchen with Miele appliances, dishwasher and pull-out pantry, flowing into the adjoining dining area featuring a shaker-style panelled feature wall and a character laden fireplace with mantel.

- Two generous bedrooms, with the main featuring a clever false wall divider that creates a walk-in robe behind the bed.

- An updated bathroom with scope to further enhance and personalise

- Soaring ceilings, some with decorative ceiling roses, that enhance space and character

The north facing rear garden is private and drought tolerant, offering both versatility and security. It can be converted to off-street parking for one vehicle via automatic sliding gates, with convenient side-lane pedestrian access. A dedicated rear storeroom provides practical storage, while a screened utility area discreetly conceals the clothesline, water tank with drip filter line, and air conditioning unit.

Modern sustainability features include solar panels with battery storage generating surplus energy in three out of four quarters, an EV charging station, draft excluders on all main doors and windows, Level 6 ceiling insulation, and an insulated rear verandah with wind-down blinds. Energy usage and systems can be monitored via the iSolar cloud and Airtouch5 apps.

This cottage perfectly balances period charm with contemporary comfort. Ideally positioned moments from Hutt Street's vibrant cafes, nearby parklands and the CBD, McLaren Street remains highly prized for its rare combination of historic beauty and inner-city convenience.

A captivating opportunity to secure a piece of Adelaide's past - and make it uniquely yours.
