About this property
Sleek, Sophisticated and Rejuvenated, An Iconic Palm Springs Residence Set within one of Deakin's most tightly held and prestigious precincts, this iconic Palm Springsinspired residence presents a rare fusion of architectural pedigree, contemporary luxury, and exceptional future opportunity. Positioned opposite the Prime Minister's Lodge and surrounded by established parkland, the home occupies a magnificent 1,452m² (approx.) land holding with lush, private, garden surrounds. Designed in 1959 by internationally acclaimed Melbourne architects Chancellor & Patrick, celebrated for their adherence to Usonian design principles, the residence has been thoughtfully rejuvenated to deliver a light-filled, modern lifestyle while honouring its mid-century modern origins. Floor-to-ceiling glazing throughout captures tranquil garden vistas and floods the interiors with natural light. The home's clean architectural lines frame expansive lounge and dining areas, complemented by open-plan living zones that flow seamlessly to a private courtyard and swimming pool-creating an entertainer's sanctuary of rare quality. At the heart of the home, the designer kitchen features premium appliances, stone benchtops and a walk-in pantry, thoughtfully integrated with casual living and dining spaces. Accommodation is generous and flexible, comprising four large bedrooms with built-in robes, a dedicated home office, two bathrooms plus ensuite, and beautifully segregated garden zones ideal for families or quiet retreat. A sophisticated palette of timber, tile and carpet enhances the home's warmth and timeless appeal. Located moments from Manuka Village, Deakin Shops, Woden and the Canberra CBD, this exceptional residence offers both serenity and convenience in one of the capital's most secure and distinguished neighbourhoods. ________________________________________ Development Opportunity (Subject to Approval) In addition to its immediate lifestyle appeal, 13 Canterbury Crescent presents a compelling future opportunity. The substantial landholding, prime location and favourable surrounding streetscape provide potential for redevelopment or further enhancement, subject to relevant planning approvals.
