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
NSWPlanning 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.” NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $850/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. NSW has a statewide DA API. Nearby (100–800 m) applications are not loaded for this property yet. 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. NSW net yield needs land tax and VG inputs that are not loaded. Gross yield from listings is not net yield.
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 LJ Hooker GordonSet in one of Gordon’s most distinguished tree-lined avenues, this luxurious family sanctuary, set over a large 1,182sqm lot with North to rear and with a wide 21.165m frontage, is a masterclass in thoughtful design, quality craftsmanship, and architectural vision. Lovingly reimagined, the home seamlessly blends the elegance of its Federation origins with the very best of contemporary living. With an exceptional location just about 500m to Gordon Train Station and Gordon shops, whilst a short 12-minute walk takes you to the sought-after Ravenswood School for Girls, this home delivers a lifestyle of privacy, prestige, and unparalleled comfort.
The original residence has been meticulously restored with features such as ceiling roses, intricate ventilation grilles, original skirting boards, and timber flooring carefully retained and revived to their former glory. Even the slate roof has been replaced in its original form, preserving the timeless façade while ensuring modern reliability.
A spectacular rear extension, designed and completed in 2022, introduces a bold architectural contrast that harmonises effortlessly with the original home. This light-filled, open-plan space is anchored by an expansive kitchen, dining, and living zone that celebrates both scale and intimacy. With clerestory windows that welcome the northern sun in winter and eaves that cleverly shield from the summer heat, the design speaks to passive solar principles and year-round comfort. The custom Italian pendant lighting over the stone island and the prestige oak timber floors elevate the space with understated luxury, while the European-imported fireplace and the impressive 2.1m Haiku ceiling fan add both flair and functionality.
From this central living zone, wide glass doors spill out onto a sunlit terrace overlooking a magnificent 12.5m resort-style pool. Tiled in glass mosaics and powered by freshwater technology, the pool provides a chemical-free experience that’s perfect for families with young children or skin sensitivities. Adjacent to the pool is a fully enclosed cabana with a full bathroom and plumbing in place for a future bar or kitchenette, an ideal space for year-round entertaining, guest accommodation, or a teenage retreat.
Internally, the home’s intelligent layout has been designed with family living in mind. The wide entry hallway leads to five oversized bedrooms, each appointed with built-in robes and generous proportions. The master suite is privately positioned at the front of the home, offering a luxurious escape with a walk-in wardrobe, a beautifully finished ensuite, and its own retreat area. Bedroom wings are thoughtfully zoned to allow for quiet separation between family members, perfect for older children, guests or working from home. Three designer bathrooms, all with underfloor heating, are elegantly appointed with soft-close cabinetry, quality tiles, and high-end fittings.
Multiple living spaces further enhance the home’s functionality. A formal lounge near the entrance offers a peaceful retreat or media room, while the rear living space encourages relaxed connection between family and friends. The expansive kitchen is a true showpiece, equipped with top-tier Miele appliances, an induction flex-zone cooktop, steam oven, and a well-appointed butler’s pantry. Adjacent to the kitchen is a cleverly designed laundry with extensive storage, opening to the carport and garden store for ease of access.
Outside, the professionally landscaped designed gardens offer beauty and serenity in equal measure. A rare semi-circular driveway with two entrances enhances the sense of arrival, while the oversized carport, secure storage areas, and expansive attic space provide practical convenience seldom found.
With its large 30-panel 12.5kW solar array and SolarEdge smart inverter, electric car charger, mobile-controlled air-conditioning, and Wi-Fi enabled pool systems, the home is not only beautifully designed but future-ready. The combination of sustainability, smart home technology, and architectural finesse positions this home at the very pinnacle of modern family living.
53 St Johns Avenue is more than just a home, it is a complete lifestyle retreat for families who demand space, style, and substance. Set in a tightly held pocket of Gordon and offering immediate access to top schools, transport and amenities, this rare offering presents the opportunity to secure a truly extraordinary residence where nothing more is needed.
