1 Spencer Street, Turner ACT 2612, Australia
The property is a house offering four bedrooms and sits on a generous 1,850 m² block of land. It provides ample space for family living or potential expansion.
Turner’s original block sizes generally ranged from 800 m² to 1,400 m², with some up to 1,600 m². At 1,850 m², this parcel is larger than most, making it well‑suited for redevelopment into multiple dwellings or larger homes, which the suburb’s zoning often permits.
Turner was developed in the 1940s‑1950s as a garden‑city design, featuring wide nature strips, generously proportioned roads, and abundant parkland. The suburb includes half of Haig Park, a flood‑drainage reserve along Sullivans Creek, public sports ovals, and a tennis club attached to the park.
The house is within walking distance of the Australian National University, which lies in the neighboring suburb of Acton. It is also close to several research and government facilities clustered around the area.
Residents can easily access Haig Park, which forms a large pine‑tree reserve, as well as the flood‑drainage reserve linked to Sullivans Creek. Public sports ovals and a tennis club adjacent to the park also provide recreational options.
Turner has a high proportion of professionals (about 45 % of residents) and a youthful population, with nearly half aged 20‑34. The suburb is popular with students and young adults, reflecting its proximity to the city centre and the university.
The Centre for Australian National Biodiversity Research is just 0.3 km away, while the Plant Industry and Australian Tree Seed Centre are each within 0.5‑0.6 km. Other nearby sites include the CSIRO Main Entomology Building and the Australian National University Medical School, both within roughly 0.6‑0.7 km.
