31 Canterbury Road Camberwell - James Buyer Advocates

31 Canterbury Road, Camberwell – The Mansion and the Main Road

There’s no denying the scale here. With 2,093sqm of land, a full tennis court, and a home that sprawls with both volume and finish, this is every bit a mansion. Internally, the quality is hard to fault—joinery, flow, accommodation. You can be alone in one wing while a party happens in the other. Bedrooms for everyone. Multiple living zones. It’s impressive, and on another street, it would be an entirely different price conversation.

But this is Canterbury Road. And that’s the test. The property backs and fronts into real-world road noise, and while there’s some insulation inside, it’s still present. You’ll know you’re on a main road even when you’re in the kitchen. That doesn’t make it a no—it just means the value hinges entirely on whether you can live with that compromise. Because everything else—the space, the style, the garden—is well-resolved.

It last sold for $8 million over a decade ago. If it now sells anywhere near the quoted range of $9.3 million, that’s not exactly runaway capital growth—especially in a rising market. And that’s the quiet conversation we often have with our clients: not just how it looks today, but how it plays out over time. If you’re weighing space over setting, we can help you test those trade-offs—not emotionally, but with a clear, independent eye.
