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
ACTPlanning 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 for this property.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $550/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.

Development optionality of this lot
UnknownPlanning layers have not been retrieved for this property yet.
Nearby development pipeline
UnknownNearby development applications are not loaded for this property.
Honest achievable rent
KnownlowThis is not “bond data says this address leases for $X.” The comparable figure is a suburb advertised/median rent, not this property. This jurisdiction has no comparable official bond series in the free set.
Rental supply pressure
UnknownSupply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.
Why is this cheap?
UnknownThe constraint stack has not been retrieved for this lot, so Districts cannot explain a discount versus land size.
Lot-level flood
UnknownOfficial flood overlay has not been retrieved (pending). Missing layer is unknown, not “no.”
Catalyst exposure
UnknownFunded catalyst catchments are not loaded. A TOD badge is not this product.
This lot's DA history
UnknownDevelopment applications have not been queried for this parcel.
Statutory land value versus ask
UnknownStatutory land value is not available as free bulk data in this jurisdiction. Do not fake it with a suburb median.

Listing material
Listed by Ray White CanberraSet on a quiet cul-de-sac backing Red Hill, this architect designed split-level home is sure to impress. With soaring ceilings, timber features, and picture windows it has been cleverly designed to enjoy a spectacular garden setting from every room. The complete sense of privacy and serenity afforded by these stunning woodland gardens is unbeatable.
Designed in 1977 by architect Willemsen, this home effortlessly combines contemporary features with modern amenities. An entertainer's delight, the 305sqm home benefits from multiple living spaces, both formal and informal. As you enter the home a formal living room with vaulted ceilings and a brick fireplace gives the space a warm and cosy feel. This south-westerly facing room enjoys light filtering in from the wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling windows with an uninterrupted view of the front terrace and Brindabellas beyond. An adjoining library with built-in-bookshelves is the ideal spot for a study or sitting area.
A separate formal dining room leads you from the living room to the kitchen and family room. The kitchen is a dream for home chefs with built-in Miele stainless steel appliances, conventional and steam ovens, dishwasher, four plate induction cooktop, microwave with grill and plate warming drawer, stone benchtops, and a walk-in butler's pantry. The space feels light and open with the kitchen overlooking the family room, and plenty of room for an informal living and dining space. Picture windows bring the outdoors in, and there is direct access to the paved north-facing outdoor entertaining space, with a pond and waterfall; perfect for alfresco dining or simply enjoying your garden oasis.
Upstairs you will find another living space that truly makes you feel like you're in the treetops, and is ideal for the children to have their own space to relax or play. The four double bedrooms have built-in-robes and views of the Brindabellas or the majestic gardens. The master suite enjoys large windows, placing you right in the middle of the lush and colourful gardens. An ensuite and walk in robe makes this room a dream parents' retreat. The modern main bathroom enjoys mountain views, and a separate laundry includes plenty of storage and access straight to the hills hoist and paved courtyard.
Downstairs you will find a self-contained flat with a private side entry. The flat includes a living room, fully equipped kitchen, a double bedroom with a built-in-robe, and an ensuite. Whether you use this space for multi generational living, a complete guest suite, or simply as a fifth bedroom, you are sure to benefit from the extra space.
If the home at 42 Couvreur Street is a prized jewel, the gardens surrounding the home are the crown. Over 40 years the current owners have lovingly cultivated a picturesque garden oasis with so much to discover through winding paths, terraces, and a small lawn. Not only are you provided with maximum privacy, and direct access to Red Hill Nature Reserve, the gardens create their own microclimate that results in natural cooling of the house in summer. The careful design of the landscaping, including an automatic drip and spray irrigation system, keeps the gardens healthy and happy year round.The gardens were selected for showing during Canberra's 2019 Open Gardens scheme
It is difficult to think of what more you could want in a home. Its unique character, from the woodland gardens to the striking architectural features, is sure to charm all. The feeling of privacy and serenity in this home is unmatched. The location in a tightly held pocket of Garran is ideal; close to local schools, shops, and arterial roads. As the current owners have found, in their 40 years living in this one-of-a-kind home, the next family to call this paradise their own will never want to leave.
