Districts View
View not ready — official layers are still retrieving for this property. Official planning layers still retrieving. Flood / bushfire / heritage not yet retrieved. No recorded sale price for this property. Districts does not score a property it cannot yet see.
Nothing about this record stands out yet — coverage may still be filling in.
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
SAPlanning 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.” Nearby development applications are not loaded. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $612/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. 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.
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 Wilson Real Estate West RichmondPlease call to arrange your viewing.
This magnificent example of bay window villa architecture has remained relatively untouched since 1889. Solid bluestone in construction with ornate external stonework features and exquisite leadlight features truly stamp this home as a significant property in the area.
Hidden away from the surrounding neighbourhood behind a tall fence and trees, the prominence of this home can be measured by the features that remain true to the original construction. While other villas of the era have lost their original identity over the decades to renovation and refurbishment trends that haven't stood the test of time, this one has been protected.
Featurings two very impressive formal living areas, two casual family living areas and three bedrooms plus study, a large open space casual meals area adjacent the country style kitchen further enhances the impressive dimensions of this home.
If you desire a home of this period that retains the key elements of the late 1800's you will love the fact that the current owner / custodian has kept things untouched in the areas of most importance for the last 30 years. It truly is a museum piece for those who want to see how things truly were prior to the turn of the 19th century.
Exquisite cornice features and marble fireplaces in both formal living areas and the master bedroom truly reflect the benchmark this home would have set at the time it was constructed. From the leadlight feature windows, timber floorboards underfoot, high skirting boards and gorgeous french doors found in both the master bedroom and formal dining room, this home will have your heart beating and imagination running wild as to how to renovate the kitchen and bathroom areas to further compliment what is truly a rare find in this day and age.
A special feature of this home can be found in the leadlight artistry found in the formal dining room by a renown artist of the period, E.F. Troy of Flinders Street, Adelaide.
This home needs a custodian to take over ownership, to ensure this treasure lives on for future generations to admire.
Set on a generous corner allotment of some 1020 sqm with side street access to the rear of the allotment for parking off street, a large workshop / garage and carport provide plenty of undercover area for your outdoor interests.
An extension at some point in time (maybe the 1960s) saw the creation of an open space to the rear of the original construction, bringing much valued cover between the kitchen, real informal living space and bathroom area.
Outside, you will find a free standing studio / office (possibly from the same era) located to the rear of the home. Once used as an artist space by a former owner for pottery, it's potential use moving forward into the future is up to you.
Another special space of this home is the cellar! With an opening hatch in the kitchen, this space has a window to the outside world underneath the back verandah decking. With natural light reaching into this space it makes a world of difference as to what you could do with it.
This is a wonderful home to have as a baseline for your renovation dreams. Retain what is highly prized in the original areas of the home and add your finishing touches to compliment what has been retained for the last 130 plus years.
