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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $2,650,000 (21 Feb 2026).(Recorded sale)
  • CalculationLand 743 m² against a 157 m² dwelling — the land is most of what is being bought.(Districts calculation)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Malvern (last 5 years) with land size: median $2,834/m² of land (n=35). 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

SA

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 $602/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.

Open the Door to a Long-held Malvern Villa with So Much More to Give

Auction Sat, 21st Feb - 1pm (USP)

Tightly held by one family for over 60 years, loved and enjoyed by four generations, this fine Edwardian sandstone Villa sits elevated on a glorious north-south 743 m² plot with the scope to extend and still leave enough room for an oasis garden.

This beautiful home is located on a generous wide peaceful cul-de-sac lined with jacarandas and plane trees, and being on the doorstep of Duthy St, Unley Road, King William Rd and the city itself, the area invites quality of life walkabouts.

Read the full description

Built by - and for - a stone mason C1910, this unbreakable home is enhanced by its timeless period features with beautiful lead lights, open fireplaces and a traditional quality IJF-built kitchen. With plentiful natural light and a free-flowing 3 bedroom interior that has been rewired, opened up and periodically updated, it is nicely finished off with a spacious living room.

The result is a neat move-in-ready home you can appreciate today while you plan its evolution on that deep parcel of land facing one of Malvern's most beautiful streets. This is the fresh start you've been looking for.

Open the door to:

• A rare, multi-generationally held Edwardian freestone villa where craftsmanship, land and lifestyle align

• A substantial 743sqm south to north allotment with sun, depth and long-term upside

• One of Malvern's most beautiful wide streets, lined with plane trees and wrapped in quiet

• A C1910 home built by a stonemason, with solidity you can feel the moment you step inside

• A free-flowing three-bedroom layout that has been opened up, rewired and thoughtfully improved

• Three genuinely large bedrooms, including a main with private two-way bathroom access

• Multiple living zones that allow the home to flex with family life and entertaining

• Baltic pine floors, lofty ceilings and ornate original fireplaces throughout

• Leadlight windows that soften the light and elevate every room

• A neat, move-in-ready interior with clear scope to evolve over time

• A deep rear garden with room to extend, entertain or simply let life spill outdoors

• A wide driveway providing easy off-street parking and side access

• A separate laundry and second toilet

• An efficient mix of ducted and split system air conditioning

• A zoned pass to Glenunga International High School

Close the door on:

• Choosing between character and comfort. This home proves you can have original detail and modern liveability in one confident package

• Living on narrow, congested streets that never quite exhale. Here, space, trees and quiet set the tone from the moment you arrive

• Buying a home with nowhere to go. This block and layout leave plenty of room for future ideas, without forcing your hand today

Rich in character, defined by its walk-everywhere lifestyle, tightly-held by nature; Malvern is the pinnacle of city fringe living, just a whim away from Unley Oval, Unley Road's boutiques, quality schools and colleges, Duthy Street cafes and balmy strolls to the CBD. It's your turn to call it home.
