On Parlington Street, a quiet avenue off Mont Albert Road, lies a rare opportunity to make its tightly held enclave your new home. Parlington presents a collection of only six spectacular residences, each as distinctive as the next.
There are few places in Melbourne that evoke a sense of inherent prestige, one that is authentic and effortless. In Canterbury, rows of leafy deciduous canopies, punctuated by grand and historic mansions, paint a picture of sophisticated living and idyllic charm, as desirable today as it was over a hundred years ago.
A collaboration between boutique developer JT Property, Telha Clarke architects and internationally acclaimed landscape designer Paul Bangay. Parlington will be as beautiful to look at, as it is to live in. It boasts a unique proposition that few developments can offer, inspired by historic architecture and an unmistakable sense of place.
The residences celebrate local heritage through a modern interpretation. This concept ties to the heritage Victorian homes evident throughout the Canterbury streetscape and neighbouring historic mansion, Verulam. Homes with hundreds of years of history and prestige.
A collection of six, yet no two are the same. Positioned on the site as two sets of three, there is a sense of individuality that feels separate and special in its own way.
As the site ascends from the street, each residence sits at a slightly different level. Reinterpreting elements of a Victorian mansion for a modern perspective with impressive proportions. At the ground level, high quality pale brick finish and chamfered edges are nuances of classic vertical lines and heavy masonry. The upper levels showcase pitched roofs and carefully framed outlooks.
All residences boast glorious private courtyards, with paved al fresco and BBQ areas. Foliage and flowers were considered for their colour and aroma, while natural structure provides screening and privacy. There is a sense of antiquity through rich layering and minimal use of colour, inspired by gardens with rich history and a similar climate.
Telha Clarke has developed interiors of grand proportions, both vertically and horizontally. The team has curated a distinctive atmosphere, where classic grandeur meets modern simplicity.
Flexible layouts and oversized living areas allow you to craft your own space and make it your own. All residences feature a fireplace that anchors the room, whilst full-height windows and sliding doors allow living spaces to flow into the courtyard. The influence of Victorian architecture can be observed in the detail, it is the arched thresholds, high-quality stonework, plinths and engineered herringbone timber flooring that are a subtle nod to the era.
A true entertainer’s kitchen is the focal point of your home, with a bold, sculptural island bench at its heart. Extensive natural stone and quality 2PAC joinery adds subtle character and texture, while versatile joinery allows you to have everything on display or neatly hidden away. A celebration of tradition, an impressive dining room further provides space to entertain and indulge.
The master bedroom is an expression of the grand style, much more than just a place to sleep in. Herringbone flooring with an optional feature carpet inset that frames the room, while private balconies offer natural ventilation and an outdoor space. Some master bedrooms feature arched thresholds to walk-in robes, and a pathway to the master ensuite.
The bathrooms offer a beautiful, tactile experience, a pleasure to feel and touch. Natural stone flooring followed by full-height tiling, a showcase of refined materiality and texture. Undermount basins are finished with a high-quality stone while the powder room on the ground floor has been designed to impress your guests, with a custom stone vanity and inset gooseneck tapware.
Telha Clarke has provided two colour schemes to suit your personal style. The elegant light and neutral palette features light-to-mid textural natural stone, warm timber, off-white hues and a champagne carpet. The darker palette exudes sophisticated depth, offering rich textural stone and timbers, mid and warm greys, and a charcoal carpet.
The village-like suburb offers exceptional amenity, diverse retail, and charming hospitality. From the nearby Camberwell Junction shopping precinct to the popular shopping strip on Maling Road, Canterbury has everything for life’s little pleasures.
One of Victoria’s most sought-after suburbs in Melbourne’s east and home to the infamous ‘Golden Mile’. Canterbury is a grand display of historic architecture, prestigious schools, tree-lined streets and worldly allure.
