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

Why this property?

  • FactLand 1,202 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)
  • CalculationRecorded House sales in Torrens (last 5 years) with land size: median $1,554/m² of land (n=11). Districts calculation from recorded sales — not a valuation.(Districts recorded sales)

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

ACT

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.” Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $478/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. 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.

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

    Nearby development applications are not loaded for this property.

  • 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. This jurisdiction has no comparable official bond series in the free set.

  • 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.

A Hidden Gem

Behind its understated façade and designed by renowned 60s architect Neil Renfree, this stunning four bedroom plus study, two bathroom home will capture your heart.

Enjoying northerly garden views from most rooms this property is sited to make full use of the 1,202m2 (approx.) block, made private by courtyards, terraces and an abundance of mature, flowering shrubs and trees.

Extensions and renovations have maintained the original architectural integrity of the home, maximizing its relationship to the private gardens beyond. Living and dining areas spill out into the sun-filled northern courtyard, heady with fragrance through spring and summer.

Read the full description

At the heart of the home lies its modern kitchen with quality appliances. Flowing into a generous family room, both areas are flooded with natural light from the wall of high windows. French tessellated tiles feature throughout and glass doors open onto outdoor areas.

The segregated master bedroom includes a walk-though wardrobe and huge bathroom overlooking another private courtyard. Three additional bedrooms offer built-in wardrobes, and bedroom four also opens onto the garden.

The study, or home office, with its own private entrance, lies at the front of the property, where off-street parking is available for a further two cars.

The main bathroom and separate toilet have been recently renovated and the modern laundry will delight with its abundance of space and storage.

Breathtaking, yet surprisingly easy-care gardens include walls of Chinese star jasmine, red dogwood, figs, pomegranate, crab apple, magnolia, osmanthus, gardenia, and Japanese maple. A grove of silver birches provides shade around the in-ground saltwater pool and an alfresco dining area is secluded under the apple tree and wisteria covered pergola.

Gate access onto greenbelt leads to Mt Taylor nature reserve and walking trails. A double carport sits beside a lockable storage area and workshop. Offering a timeless design in a prime Woden Valley location, delight your senses and experience the magic for yourself.
