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
TASPlanning 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 $548/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 Ray White HobartSet proudly upon a fully-utilised, level allotment, this grand c.1909-1911 largely-original residence offers a rare blend of historic character, exceptional scale, and a prestigious Sandy Bay address that is simply unrivalled for convenience.
Lovingly held by the same family for over 60 years, this home has been the venue for generations of cherished moments, including family weddings in the backyard and marking the walk to Holy Spirit Church for the owners' children.
Step inside and be immediately welcomed by the timeless street appeal and a façade that is near one-of-a-kind for this coveted area. Period features including original Tasmanian timber hardwood floors on both levels, soaring high ceilings, prominent picture rails, gorgeous bay windows, and elegant mantels have been carefully preserved, celebrating the home's history.
The proportions of some internal rooms are exceptional and unmatched. The home is further distinguished by its Atrium, a unique, full-glass-roofed area that effortlessly draws natural sunlight deep into the home. In years gone by, the home was dubbed the 'Hibiscus Art Gallery', forming part of Tasmania's art history.
Over the years, the residence has been configured for various uses and family sizes. For added financial appeal, the layout was previously adapted to incorporate two separate studio apartments downstairs, both successfully rented with their own side accesses, highlighting its potential for dual living or a substantial income stream.
A short stroll from your new doorstep you'll enjoy Short Beach (where you'll find parks, a dog park, and a boat ramp for adventures on the Derwent River), the Royal Yacht Club, Lawn Bowls, Coles, 6-Russell, and the comprehensive amenity of Sandy Bay Village and the Magnet Court Shopping Complex, with easy access to the local bus routes, and highly-regarded schools.
Although this home will most-likely undergo restoration and upgrades in the years to come, we implore you to visit and secure this lovely, irreplaceable family residence before its next chapter begins.
