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 776 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 $1,275/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 Space Realty Cottesloe39 Launceston Avenue is far more than just a home, it's a landmark piece of City Beach history. Designed by renowned architect Graham Hatton, one of Perth's most respected names in mid-century design, this residence captures everything that makes the era so enduringly sought after: clean architectural lines, natural textures, and a layout that celebrates light, space, and connection.
Set on a 776sqm elevated block with a leafy outlook, this single-level home has been cherished by one family since it was built, and is now offered to market for the very first time. For lovers of authentic mid-century architecture, opportunities like this are vanishingly rare.
Inside, the home unfolds across 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and 3 separate living areas, each space defined by its warmth, charm, and functionality. The dining area is a true showpiece, with a stunning picture window that frames the leafy surrounds and bathes the room in light, creating the perfect backdrop for shared meals and conversation. The renovated kitchen blends modern convenience with timeless design, while the bathrooms still showcase their original tilework, a charming nod to the home's mid-century heritage.
Entertaining is at the heart of this home, with a built-in wine bar that speaks to an era when gathering friends was an art form. The flow continues outdoors, where established gardens and a private alfresco dining area invite summer dinners under the stars, weekend barbecues with family, or quiet moments surrounded by greenery.
Practicality has been thoughtfully considered too, with parking for 2 cars plus space for a boat, trailer or caravan, and the addition of solar panels that bring sustainable living into this mid-century classic, making the home as efficient as it is beautiful. And with the turquoise waters of City Beach only moments away, you'll enjoy morning swims, sunset walks, and the vibrant café and restaurant scene that make this pocket of City Beach so loved.
Owning a Graham Hatton home is to own a piece of architectural heritage. Known for his ability to design residences that were stylish, functional, and deeply connected to their environment, Hatton's work continues to shape the character of City Beach. This home is a living example of his vision, as relevant and desirable today as the day it was built.
Lovingly maintained and never before offered to market, 39 Launceston Avenue represents a once-in-a-lifetime chance to secure a mid-century classic in one of Perth's most coveted coastal suburbs. A home of this calibre, with its authenticity, history, and architectural significance, is truly irreplaceable.
