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
WAWA full cadastre is not free for commercial use. Lot optionality cannot be computed from official geometry. Listed land size is 910 m² — that is not official geometry. 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 for this property.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $712/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.

Listing material
Listed by ART OF REAL ESTATESet upon a sprawling 910m² block, this exceptional Kensington residence has been reimagined into an immaculate family home that seamlessly balances heritage charm with contemporary luxury. Originally built in 1929 by the Courthope family, the home's character-filled origins have been lovingly preserved and elevated through an inspired architectural transformation, resulting in one of Kensington's most remarkable properties.
Rebuilt in collaboration with architect Peter Fryer and crafted by boutique builder Chris Farrar, the home embodies a design philosophy centred on space, tranquillity and timeless elegance. Each element has been meticulously considered to promote light, flow and connection, creating a sanctuary that feels both grounded and elevated.
The entryway features ascending honed concrete steps, leading to a porch framed by hand-chipped limestone blocks, each carefully matched to the original structure. The restored ornate windows pay homage to the home's heritage, while 2.7-metre-high ceilings, skylit hallway and restored jarrah floorboards preserve its historic soul.
From the street, the home retains its classic Kensington cottage façade, exuding warmth and character. Yet upon entry, it unfolds into a breathtaking modern retreat. A custom pivot door divides the original front accommodation from the expansive open-plan rear, where architecture, nature and luxury intertwine.
The heart of the home is a spectacular open living, dining and kitchen zone, surrounded by custom windows, polished concrete floors and a striking inbuilt fireplace. The designer kitchen is a culinary statement featuring integrated Liebherr refrigeration, dual ovens with warming grill, scullery, dishwasher and a grand island bench with breakfast bar seating.
Expansive sliding doors open to a tranquil alfresco entertaining area, perfectly oriented to overlook the sparkling pool and landscaped gardens. The pool area features custom-built seating, creating an idyllic setting for long summer evenings or peaceful morning coffees.
The primary suite is a serene retreat, retaining original features such as the window bench seating, while offering a generous walk-in robe and luxurious ensuite complete with bathtub, walk-in shower, double vanity and private WC. Bedrooms 2, 3 and 4 each continue the theme of bespoke craftsmanship, with custom built-in or walk-in robes.
A family bathroom, powder room and functional laundry with floor-to-ceiling storage complete the home's well-considered design.
Positioned just 9 minutes from Perth CBD and 5 minutes to the South Perth foreshore, this address offers a coveted balance of tranquillity and urban access. Close to Wesley College, Penrhos College, Ursula Frayne Catholic College and walking distance to Kensington Primary, this is an ideal setting for families seeking both education and lifestyle excellence.
