Inside the ultra-luxurious Canberra home that can’t be seen from the street
Despite its abundance of space and sprawling floorplan, this six-bedroom, three-bathroom home can’t be seen from street level.
Once inside, the private and elevated position of 3 Tamar Street in Canberra’s prized Red Hill offers its own spectacular views across Lake Burley Griffin and over to Mount Ainslie and Black Mountain.
“There are views from almost every room, even the master ensuite,” selling agent Miriana Cavic from Luton Properties in Manuka said.
“Yet with the clever way the home is designed, nobody can ever see in. It’s completely private.”
The architecturally designed abode is just one house down from prestigious Mugga Way and across the road from Red Hill nature reserve.

Light floods the north-facing home through double-storey glass.
Expansive living areas with brush box timber flooring showcase the panoramic views, with a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor entertaining spaces.
It offers resort-style living at its best with a sparkling, in-ground heated pool, spa and children’s wading pool.
There’s a changing area and powder room accessible from the garden and an impressive stainless steel outdoor kitchen, while landscaped and automatically irrigated gardens feature a filtered pond with a handcrafted stainless-steel sculpture by Melbourne artist Rudi Jass.
“From anywhere in the house, it’s hard to do anything but stare at the view,” Ms Cavic said.
“The master suite upstairs is stunning, with a balcony, walk-in robe, full dressing room, and even the bathroom has views.
“It’s the best master bedroom I’ve ever seen.”
The designer kitchen offers German stainless-steel appliances, double ovens, a gas hob with wok, a dishwasher, warming drawer and coffee maker.
There’s a walk-in-pantry, reverse osmosis Billi hot water and filter, and Caesarstone benches.
The formal lounge and dining have the comfort of built-in cabinetry and a gas fireplace, while the home theatre and gym with separate toilet make it easy for large families to occupy various entertaining spaces.
Red Hill is close to Canberra Grammar and Canberra Girls’ Grammar, and the vibrant cafes and boutiques of Manuka and Kingston.
“When you have a good property, you’re still getting good prices,” Ms Cavic said of the Canberra market at present.
“Homes in good areas, particularly closer to the city are still in demand. They hold their value well.”
The home will be auctioned on 24 September.
