  • FactLand 380 m²; no building size recorded.(Property record)

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

SA

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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

Rental

Income, competition, and yield

What will it realistically rent for?

Confidence: low

No advertised rent is recorded. Suburb median rent $546/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. 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.

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. This lot’s own applications are a separate question.

  • 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. Official bond files (postcode or suburb × type × bedrooms) are not loaded yet.

  • 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 Unley

SOLD BY ROBBIE SMITH AND ELLIE DRAPER

What starts with an immaculate bluestone facade and meticulously landscaped gardens ends with an epic modern-industrial extension - and the realisation that this turn of the century Worker's Cottage is everything you've been searching for, and more.

A home that draws you in and tugs at the heartstrings from the moment you step inside. The impressive hallway commands attention, with soaring ceilings, Velux skylight and a decorative arch that pays homage to the home's heritage.

Crisp white walls provide a striking contrast to the warmth of Blackbutt floorboards, while wool carpet offers extra comfort underfoot throughout the three bedrooms. Ornate plasterwork and decorative ceiling roses are another nod to the home's character-filled past.

Read the full description

Every detail in the renovated bathroom exudes sophistication; floor-to-ceiling tiles, Caesarstone surfaces, underfloor heating, large free-standing bath, and a striking mosaic feature tile, with a separate powder room adding convenience and style.

Where timber meets polished concrete, you have arrived at the show-stopping open plan extension - your entering mecca - a breath taking fusion of form and function that will stop you in your tracks and make your heart skip a beat.

Soaring ceilings reach up to 4.2 metres, drawing your eye upward - or outward to the garden. High, north-facing windows frame the sky and treetops, enhancing the sense of space, while tropical Bird of Paradise plants along the side of the house provide a lush backdrop for family moments.

The kitchen is a statement in itself - a premium Caesarstone workspace with 900mm Fisher & Paykel oven and gas cooktop, window splashback, ASKO dishwasher, a luxurious walk-in pantry, and sleek joinery designed for both beauty and practicality.

As night falls, the living zone transforms into a haven. A crackling combustion fireplace and the glow of garden lighting outside sets the perfect mood to unwind after a busy day.

Outdoors, the spotted gum deck invites long lunches and twilight dinners. With a built-in barbecue, firepit area, and lush irrigated gardens, this is an entertainer's paradise - where music drifts through hidden garden speakers and laughter lingers late into the evening.

All just a short stroll from Forestville Reserve, Wayville Farmers Market, Unley Swimming Centre and the Goodwood Road precinct - a location loved for its leafy streets, vibrant community, and effortless access to the city and coast.

A flawless blend of past and present, warmth and innovation - this is where character meets contemporary, and proof that love at first sight really does exist.
