Tens of thousands of properties were listed for sale across Canberra in 2018, from dilapidated homes calling out to be knocked down to your bread-and-butter three-bedroom homes and countless units.

There was a range of options for buyers over the year, but some stood out above the rest.

The top 10 most viewed listings on Allhomes over the year were a selection of million-dollar dream homes that most of us wish we could get our hands on.

Taking out the top spot is arguably one of the finest homes to come to market this year. Set on a Yarralumla corner block, behind an unassuming facade, is home of luxurious proportions. The property sold in November and was the highest on-market sale of 2018.

 

2. 2 Mugga Way, Red Hill

RED HILL 2 MUGGA WAY

When a home is listed for sale on Canberra’s golden mile, it always creates a buzz. Stickybeaks are always keen to see what’s behind the hedges lining the street. The home at 2 Mugga Way sold for $4.1 million.

 

3. 3 Melbourne Avenue, Forrest

FORREST 3 Melbourne Avenue

This Forrest street gives Mugga Way a run for its money. A feature of 3 Melbourne Avenue is the seamless transitions between the indoor and outdoor spaces. It’s still on the market with a price guide from $1.79 million to $1.89 million.

 

4. 82 Dunstan Street, Curtin

Resort-style living is an overused term in real estate, but it’s appropriate for this Forrest property. It sits on a 2180-square-metre block and features a tennis court and pool. It’s listed for $4.995 million.

 

8. 5 Dirrawan Gardens, Reid

The ultimate movie buff’s home. This art deco residence in Reid reflects a mid-1920s Canberra cottage, but inside is a stunning home of grand proportions – it was once awarded MBA home of the year. It’s listed for sale by negotiation.
