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

View not ready — official layers are still retrieving for this property. Official planning layers still retrieving. Flood / bushfire / heritage not yet retrieved. No recorded sale price for this property. Districts does not score a property it cannot yet see.

Why this property?

Nothing about this record stands out yet — coverage may still be filling in.

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 $367/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.”

Read more

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.

Listing material

Listed by Ray White Canberra

Captivating characterful home primed for 21st-century living

Boasting all the heritage features with none of the hassles, this mesmerising and sympathetically extended artisan cottage effortlessly blends striking period details with contemporary amenities. This home is nestled opposite Corroboree Park, in a part of old Ainslie where community connections through the local schools, shops, parks, community halls are all keystones.

It's easy to imagine sundowners on the front veranda and with a soundscape of birds and the occasional springy pop of a tennis ball from the Ainslie Tennis Club courts opposite. It seems a world away from the bustling Lonsdale and Mort Street precinct of Braddon which is only a 15-minute stroll through Haig Park.

A wide and welcoming entry has striking wooden floors underfoot which leads you to the expansive central lounge and dining zone which easily accommodates large gatherings. This hub of the home is endowed with soaring ceilings, bespoke cabinetry, gas fireplace, multiple full-height timber-framed windows. The French doors lead you onto the veranda and then into the verdant backyard.

Read the full description

This generous main hub also incorporates the designer kitchen which has almost a country feel to it, with a Canberra red-brick feature wall, Smeg 900mm range and a five-seat peninsula.

A spacious formal lounge facing the street boasts an exquisite open fireplace and could easily be a fifth bedroom as it is close to the third and fourth bedrooms which share an updated family bathroom.

An additional bedroom with an ensuite plus a studio with a bathroom, make up the remainder of the sleeping spaces. The first benefits from access to a huge ensuite with deep bath and double shower while the studio has a library and study-nook entry, private bathroom, plumbing for a future wet bar and its own access to a rear patio. This is an ideal intergenerational private space or rental opportunity.

The gorgeous foliage of the rear garden, with a 70-year-old camellia and mature magnolias, is something that needs to be experienced. It is best enjoyed either from the wide covered rear veranda or the exquisite alfresco terrace where an ornamental grapevine lends a distinctly Italian-villa feel and is perfect for rustic dining with friends and family.

This backyard also features a large detached room which could be used as a music room, studio, home office or gymnasium. A well-designed covered annexe off it is capable of housing a family of bikes or scooters - perfect for those who want to explore the nearby cycling trails of Mount Ainslie or Mount Majura or just scoot into Civic to catch a movie or get to work.

Other property features include a heated scullery with storage and laundry drying space, office nook, an attic with standing-room storage and an automated garage with its own mezzanine storage.

Come for the mod-cons, but fall in love with the characterful picture rails, original doorbell, authentic door hardware, bakelite light switches, nine foot ceilings, and timber craftsmanship. Enjoy the sheer beauty of a home that was originally built close to a hundred years ago.
