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

Why this property?

  • FactLast recorded sale $2,080,000 (20 Mar 2021).(Recorded sale)
  • FactLand 535 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)

What could make it worth more?

No upside evidence detected in the data Districts holds for this lot.

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

VIC

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.” Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $565/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. Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown. 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

    Victoria has no public statewide property-level DA API. Nearby pipeline is unknown.

  • 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.

Early 1920s stunner in a premier St Kilda East street

Positioned in arguably St Kilda East's most sought-after street, and overflowing with graceful period charm which is only matched by the stunning north-facing garden and entertainer's courtyard at the rear, this marvelous and private 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom family residence is an enchanting and unforgettable single level star!

Murchison Street has long been the place to live in St Kilda East, with its shaded mature tree-lined outlook and streetscape of heritage protected homes (many that were built in the early 1900s, with the street featuring a heritage overlay). This immaculate original has origins dating back to 1920, and still retains some of its beautiful classic detail from exquisite leadlight windows to a warming open fireplace and gorgeous high ceilings.

Elegant dark timber floors introduce themselves at the entry and carry you all the way into the formal dining room with the aforementioned OFP, as well as the generous living room with built-in shelving. This living room has access to a charming retreat, which is perfect to be a home office or a reading nook where you can take in views of the private hedged garden at the front. In fact, the flow and floorplan of the property means you get leafy views from almost every angle!

An expansive family room towards the home's northern rear is the perfect place to sit on a Sunday morning and read the newspaper, with this space perfectly capturing the sunlight and vistas of the picturesque rear garden. A stylish kitchen has space for casual meals and promises stainless steel benchtops, Franke double sink, and AEG/Bosch/Fisher & Paykel appliances. All bedrooms have a relaxed feel including one of the bedrooms which enjoys a hidden foldaway bed and built-in desk and shelving ensuring it could also be a home office. All bedrooms also have easy access to 2 stylish contemporary bathrooms.

The exceptional north-facing landscaped garden and courtyard boasts a veggie garden and shed, while other property extras include laundry facilities, hydronic heating, reverse cycle cooling, large storage closet, NBN ready, and off-street parking with remote security gate.
