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 $580/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.

Honest achievable rent

Rental supply pressure
UnknownSupply pressure needs comparable listings near this lot plus a nearby DA pipeline. Neither is loaded.
Why is this cheap?

Listing material
Listed by Harris Real Estate Daw ParkIt's not often you get to sell a home that has been in one family for nearly a century, where generation after generation have sat around the fire place, listening to news on the radio, then watching it on the black and white TV, then the colour TV, then the laptop, then the big screen TV, then the iPhone and the iPad, and who knows what will be come next. But this beautifully maintained character bungalow, now freshly painted is ready for a new family and a new chapter of kids sitting around the fire, playing in the back and walking to Colonel Light Gardens Primary.
So like, so many of the homes in Colonel Light Gardens, what an incredible opportunity this is. Not because it's such an historical and well-preserved home and suburb, or because it's in such a beautiful green parkland filled suburb of wide nature strips and tree-lined streets with terrific local cafes. And not because you've got the local tennis club and courts over the back laneway, or because you're just a 15-20 min drive to the beach, the CBD, Flinders and the airport. But because like so many of the homes in the area, no one wants to move, and they're so tightly held: this one for over 90 years!
Nestled on a substantial 1,079m² block along the iconic East Parkway, this four-bedroom, two-bathroom home blends timeless charm with modern comforts. The classic features of the home, such as original floorboards, high ornate ceilings, and fireplaces, immediately evoke a sense of history and warmth. Generously proportioned rooms, including a formal dining room, reflect the gracious style of its era, while thoughtful updates ensure its readiness for modern living.
At the heart of the home lies a spacious open-plan kitchen and family room, ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The solid hardwood kitchen is equipped with a five-burner gas cooktop, dishwasher, wall oven, and double fridge cavity, offering both functionality and style.
A gas heater in the family room ensures comfort in the cooler months, while sliding doors open seamlessly to an alfresco entertaining area, creating a perfect indoor-outdoor flow. Beyond the alfresco, the vast rear garden offers a wealth of potential-whether it's a space for children to play, a future pool, or your dream landscape, the possibilities are endless.
Practical features further elevate this once in a lifetime opportunity: with rear lane access to the double garage enhancing convenience, while the dual garaging-one accessible from the front, the other from the rear-provides that extra storage or workshop that is so hard to come by.
The master suite, tucked privately at the rear of the home, is a peaceful retreat with an ensuite and ceiling fan, ensuring year-round comfort.
The location is one of South Australia's best. Set within the highly sought-after heritage suburb of Colonel Light Gardens, just 7km from Adelaide's CBD, this home enjoys proximity to renowned universities, medical precincts, beautiful beaches, and the airport. With quality schools, vibrant cafes, and shopping all within easy reach, this is a suburb where both lifestyle and character are protected and cherished.
With its unbeatable location, timeless charm, and boundless potential, this rare offering is ready to be shaped by your vision and enjoyed for generations to come.
It's our absolute privilege and pleasure to bring this property, to the market. Please Call Simon Tanner with any questions about the home or for further information about the local area. We're here to help and we'd love to hear from you: 0402 292 725.
