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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $682,000 (22 Sept 2017).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 994 m² against a 172 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Mount Stuart (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,588/m² of land (n=32). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

What could make it worth more?

  • InterpretationA large lot with a small dwelling means the value case rests on the land and what the zone allows on it, not the house.

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

TAS

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 for this property.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $554/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 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.

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 for this property.

  • 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.

Listing material

Listed by Peterswald for Property

Mid century masterpiece

Palm Springs meets Mount Stuart in this well built circa 1952 home that will absolutely delight purchasers with a love for mid-century modern architecture. Renowned Hobart architect Frank Stary who had been recruited from London by Hobart City Council, designed owned and lived in this home up until its sale in 1960 to the current owner. In mint condition throughout, an array of appealing original features of the architectural movement are displayed right across the well considered floorplan that is testament to the avant-garde characteristics of this style that continues to accommodate contemporary living.

Conveniently set across one level, spacious semi-open plan living comprising the kitchen with views of the mountain and a dining room with servery forms the heart of the home. Adjacent to this is the generous living room that is drenched in natural light and has an original drystone fireplace and views all the way to the River Derwent. French doors open off this room onto the sunny terrace to create seamless indoor/outdoor living and the perfect spot to enjoy a martini on a summers afternoon!

Three double bedrooms are located in the other wing of the house, and the master bedroom has BIR and private deck access. A central family bathroom, separate WC and laundry complete the floorplan and a workshop and separate rumpus room is located downstairs. A single garage provides secure parking with further OSP available in the driveway.

Read the full description

Positioned on a generous allotment of 994sqm, there is scope to further develop the land (STCA) or leave it as is with the near level, well fenced rear yard proving ideal for a game of backyard cricket or football. Located in a quiet cul-de-sac close to public transport and within walking distance of the popular North Hobart strip, this home is also nearby to Mount Stuart Primary. An exceptional mid-century home brimming with potential and just waiting for its next custodians to move in and enjoy!
