Districts View
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 627 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 $763/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 ESTATEBuilt in 1928 and extensively renovated, “Dods Cottage” proudly claims its place amongst a quiet, leafy streetscape lined with character homes. Situated upon a generous 627m2 block, a rarity in Shenton Park, this charming period home has been transformed to modern perfection with the benefit of a highly walkable location close to shops, cafés, medical facilities, parklands and Rosalie Primary School less than 400 metres away.
Beyond the white picket fence and serene garden setting, a sprawling wisteria vine wraps the exterior of the traditional east-facing veranda. Step through the leadlight front door to lovingly restored period features from the jarrah floorboards, sweeping high ceilings and decorative ceiling roses, to the original wood-fireplace and delicate picture rails. The front of the home hosts two original bedrooms, one with a lovely bay window, the other a luxurious master retreat with a walk-in robe, ensuite, and home office embracing garden views.
A private sitting room leads the way to the stunning extension built in 2015 where the heart of the home unfolds spectacularly. The designer kitchen is well-appointed with extra thick stone benchtops, masses of storage incorporated into the cabinetry and Westinghouse appliances including a dishwasher, twin electric ovens and gas stovetop. Step down to the light-filled lounge with walls of built-in storage and effortless flow to the combined laundry/bathroom, third bedroom (with a WIR) and spacious backyard. Blending the old with the new, modern comfort and eco-luxe fittings are a mainstay throughout with ducted and zoned, reverse cycle air-conditioning, as well as a rainwater tank, solar panels, a Tesla Gateway micro-grid and battery powered systems servicing the home.
Open up the bi-fold doors to the sheltered, west-facing alfresco upon timber decking where you can enjoy gentle breezes and golden sunset hues at the end of the day with a drink in hand. The backyard captures that down-south feeling so well with the soothing sounds of a fishpond, birdsong overhead and tall, leafy trees including jacaranda, ornamental plums and peppermint (grown from Dunsborough seedlings). There's a delightful edible garden tucked into the corner as well as the convenience of laneway access at the rear for easy strolls to nearby attractions.
Completing this property, a long driveway paved with recycled red bricks offers room to park up to 5 vehicles. Storage facilities house the Tesla batteries/micro-grid system and bikes, scooters and tools, with a large, powered workshop for more ambitious home handyman projects. Due to the size of this block, there's even future scope to incorporate a granny flat for multi-generational living or a short-stay income stream (STCA).
Perfectly positioned to just about anything on your doorstep including public transport options, beautiful parklands, the QE2 medical centre and Shenton Park Shopping Centre's main hub for all the essentials. The local school catchment encompasses Rosalie Primary School and Shenton College while excellent private schools in the vicinity include Scotch College, Christ Church, John XXIII, MLC and PLC. The CBD, UWA, Kings Park, Matilda Bay and Subiaco's vibrant precinct are all within minutes adding to the convenience of this central location.
This is a stunning period home in a highly sought-after neighbourhood with all the modern luxuries for complete contemporary comfort.
