21 Nicholson Crescent, Turner ACT 2612, Australia
21 Nicholson Crescent is a detached house situated on a generous 1,495 m² block. The property reflects the low‑density residential character found in parts of Turner.
Turner’s original block sizes ranged from about 800 m² to 1,600 m², with 900–1,000 m² being typical. At 1,495 m², this property is on the larger end of the local spectrum, offering ample space for redevelopment or landscaping.
Turner was planned as a garden‑city with wide nature strips, generous roads, and low‑level powerlines set behind homes. The area combines historic street‑level details such as concrete‑imprinted footpaths and low pedestrian‑scaled street lamps.
The suburb includes half of Haig Park, a large pine‑tree reserve, as well as flood‑drainage reserves along Sullivans Creek and several public sports ovals. These spaces provide ample walking, jogging, and recreation opportunities within a short distance.
Turner hosts a tennis club on Condamine Street, a lawn bowls club on McCaughey Street, and various cultural clubs such as the Alliance Française and Polish Club. The O'Connor shops are also within walking distance, offering everyday retail services.
Within roughly 0.5‑0.8 km you’ll find the Australian National University Medical School, the Bruce Hall residential college, and several Commonwealth heritage sites such as the CSIRO Main Entomology Building and the Phytotron. Government research facilities like the Australian Tree Seed Centre and the Division of Entomology are also nearby.
Turner sits on calcareous shales of the Canberra Formation, overlain by Quaternary alluvium. Several inactive fault lines, including the Acton Fault, traverse the suburb.
