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
SAPlanning 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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.
Rental
No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $590/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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question. 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 Harris Real Estate Kent TownOozing that quintessential Kensington character, you could be mistaken for thinking this dual-level home on a prized corner plot was built in the early 1900s, not 2001 - such is the genius of its creator, late architect Brian Polomka.
Brian ensures looks are deceiving, in the best of ways; pairing the steeply pitched gables, colonial windows and wonderful symmetry of its white-picketed facade with an internal layout made for the 21st-century family.
Swing open the red entry door and open-plan living hits you with a spacious, light-drenched thud on a ground level defined by its hardwood floors, high ceilings, a bevy of plantation-shuttered windows, home office/fourth bedroom and modern kitchen.
If the kitchen - featuring a servery window, stainless steel appliances, double dishwasher and loads of storage - is the hub, then the rumpus/home theatre is a beautiful excuse to escape one another in this ducted-comforted home with a lock-up garage and alfresco patio at its periphery.
Blissful rest is reserved for the upper floor, where your bedroom comes with an ensuite and walk-in robe, and the kids can take their pick of the equally appealing bedrooms 2 and 3 - each with built-in study desks/storage and swift access to the main bathroom.
Set where Maesbury and High Streets carve out a wide parcel in the prized zone for Marryatville High School, Mr Polomka knew exactly what he was doing when he placed the home back and away from their intersection; creating peace, privacy and the prettiest of north-facing gardens in the process. Thank you, Mr Polomka. Thank you very much.

- A stroll from Marryatville High School, Pembroke School and Loreto College
- Moments from the heart of The Parade
- The home claims a 2003 architectural achievement award
- Flexible floorplan with up to four bedrooms and a theatre/rumpus
- Lock-up garage, plus additional off-street parking
- Ducted r/c for year round comfort
- Loads of storage, three toilets and large separate laundry
- Beautifully presented landscaped gardens with large paved patio and lawned area
- Walking distance from public transport
- Less than 10 minutes from the CBD
- A short drive from Burnside Village
- And much more.
