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
SAPlanning 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.
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
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.
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.
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 OCAuction Fri, 20th Feb - 12.30pm (USP)
The last stop on its peaceful no-through road, this C1900 symmetrical villa unfolds with the grace that defines Highgate, before revealing a series of game-changing extensions and a separate studio cottage you don't see coming at its north-facing rear.
An expansive, 4-bedroom layout defines an original section with Baltic pine floors, impossibly high ceilings, ensuited main bedroom and a seamless transition to a vast open-plan family room, starring kitchen and an observatory with a front row seat to the garden, court, triple shed and that studio. Next stop: 42 Cheltenham Street.
Open the Door to:
• A tightly held C1900 symmetrical villa on the final stretch of a peaceful no-through road
• A flexible, family-scaled layout with four bedrooms in the main home, including an ensuited main bedroom, plus a fully ensuited studio cottage ideal for guests, teens, extended family or work-from-home separation
• Underfloor heating to bathrooms
• Beautifully preserved original rooms showcasing Baltic pine floors, soaring ceilings, wide hallways and classic symmetry that set a refined tone from the front door
• A custom Kinsman kitchen with stone benchtops, vast breakfast bar, quality European appliances and deep storage
• A light-filled rear conservatory or observatory fitted with thermal-effect glazing, easily accommodating a billiard table, long lunches or year-round entertaining
• North-facing outdoor spaces that take full advantage of winter sun, including paved entertaining areas, established gardens and a hardcourt for basketball and active play
• Exceptional parking and storage with multiple carports, well suited to families, collectors or trades
• Solar efficiency with a 6kW solar system paired with a Tesla battery, supporting lower running costs and future-focused living
• Practical comforts including evaporative cooling, gas heating and an automatic watering system to keep gardens established and low maintenance
• A thriving fruit orchard along the eastern wall, with a passionfruit vine, apricot, satsuma plum, peacharine, white fig, orange, red fig, avocado and lemon trees.
• A highly sought-after position steps from Concordia College, where children can move from home to classroom in seconds
Close the door on:
• Choosing between character and space when this home delivers both in scale, quality and flow
• Compromising on flexibility, thanks to a genuine multi-generational layout with a fully self-contained studio
• Street noise and through traffic, replaced here by a quiet no-through road setting at the very end of the line
School runs end at the front gate with Concordia College next door, while Hyde Park, Unley and King William Roads keep social life well fed. Mitcham Square is close for everyday needs, the CBD is an easy commute, and home remains tucked into a quiet, established pocket of a suburb that has 'forever' written all over it.
