Iconic Palm Springs Design, Reimagined for Today
Set within one of Deakin's most tightly held and prestigious precincts, 13 Canterbury Crescent is a rare fusion of architectural pedigree and rejuvenated, everyday luxury. Positioned directly opposite The Lodge and wrapped in established parkland, this iconic Palm Springsinspired residence occupies a magnificent 1,452m² (approx.) parcel, framed by lush, private garden surrounds.
Designed in 1959 by the internationally acclaimed Melbourne architects Chancellor & Patrick, and built on their signature Usonian principles, the home has been thoughtfully enhanced to bring a light, modern ease to daily life while staying true to its mid-century soul. Floor-to-ceiling glazing runs throughout, drawing the garden in and filling every room with natural light. The expansive lounge, warmed by an open fireplace and timber panelling, sets a welcoming tone from the moment you step inside.
The East Wing offers a quiet retreat a dedicated study and three of the home's four bedrooms, together with two bathrooms, one an ensuite bathed in soft light with a leafy outlook. Across the home, the West Wing opens up for living and entertaining: a designer kitchen with premium appliances, stone benchtops and a walk-in pantry, flowing naturally into open-plan living and dining, and out to a private courtyard and swimming pool that oozes the lifestyle character of the property.
Throughout, a warm palette of timber, tile and carpet gives the home a timeless, settled feel clean architectural lines paired with genuine comfort.
All of this sits just moments from Manuka Village, Deakin Shops, Woden and the Canberra CBD rare serenity paired with genuine convenience, in one of the capital's most secure and distinguished neighbourhoods.
A rare opportunity to secure an architectural landmark in an irreplaceable location.
Development Opportunity (Subject to Approval)
Beyond its immediate lifestyle appeal, 13 Canterbury Crescent also carries a compelling future opportunity. The scale of the landholding, its prime position and the quality of the surrounding streetscape open the door to redevelopment or further enhancement, subject to the relevant and recently enhanced planning controls. It's an offering suited to discerning buyers to capitalise on long-term value, land-banking potential, or the freedom to explore new architectural possibilities, all while enjoying an iconic home today.
