Two bidders battled it out for a four-bedroom house at Hughes which sold for $905,000.
The house at 11 Hyde Place has two bathrooms and just over 200 square metres of living space, much of it spread across the three living areas.
It is located on a 1171 square metre block, which backs onto a reserve and includes a landscaped garden.
''The family had lived in it for more than 20 years,'' said Philip Kouvelis Real Estate agent Nicky Symon.
''We sold it for just under the reserve price.''
Ms Symon said she had been seeing good numbers of potential buyers at property inspections. Spring has traditionally been a strong season for Canberra sellers.
''I'm hoping it translates into sales,'' she said.
Meanwhile, a director of Luton at Woden, Richard Keeley, sold 27 Nunan Crescent, Oxley, for $780,000.
Mr Keeley said it was a new suburban record, which broke the previous highest price by $8000.
Set on a private battleaxe block of more than 1800 square metres which boasted a rural view from a suburban location, the sale of the home attracted more than 100 onlookers, perhaps because it was a unique event.
The previous owners of the house had lived there for 28 years.
