PROPERTY SUMMARY
Property Talk
Positioned on a commanding elevated corner allotment with sweeping views across the Hobart cityscape, the Derwent River to the Tasman Bridge and kunanyi (Mount Wellington) and beyond… this solid rendered home delivers a rare combination of scale, versatility and genuine liveability that is difficult to replicate in today’s market. With approximately 144 square metres of internal living across a thoughtful floor plan, complemented by a separate single garage with workshop space, the offering here is one that rewards considered buyers who recognise substance when they see it.
From the moment you arrive, the freshly painted, crisp white rendered facade and well-maintained lawned frontage make a confident first impression, the kind of street presence that holds attention on approach and only improves on inspection. Step inside through the classic arched glazed entry door and the home reveals itself quietly, a wide carpeted hallway with decorative cornicing and pendant lighting setting a tone of understated refinement that carries throughout.
The formal lounge is anchored by an original feature fireplace and warm timber mantle, the natural focal point of a room that sits beautifully in the afternoon light. Sheer drapes frame the northerly outlook and from the living room window the city stretches away across the rooftops of Moonah and Glenorchy. This is the kind of view you simply never take for granted.
The kitchen is practical and well-appointed, featuring cabinetry extending to ceiling height, a stainless steel dishwasher, oven and a breakfast bar that lends itself equally to quick weekday mornings and relaxed weekend entertaining. A connecting space ties the kitchen through to the laundry and the rear of the home with a flow that makes the floor plan feel considerably larger than its footprint suggests.
Beyond the formal lounge, the home opens further into a remarkably generous combined family and dining zone, the largest room on the floor plan and framed by multiple windows that draw the garden and natural sunlight into the space. Whether it becomes a family retreat, a media room, an expansive entertaining space, fourth bedroom or all four simultaneously, the scale of what is on offer here is notable and the quality throughout is exceptional. A separate toilet sits conveniently adjacent, servicing this part of the home with practicality.
Three well-proportioned bedrooms are serviced by an upgraded bathroom featuring, a bath and separate shower. The master enjoys mirrored sliding robes, while the remaining two rooms are each comfortable in size and presented with genuine care. A dedicated laundry with built-in cabinetry and open shelving completes the internal package.
Outside, the fully enclosed rear yard offers genuine functionality, terraced lawned areas separated by a substantial sandstone retaining wall for an entertaining area, a second concrete driveway access and rear gate access for additional parking or trailer storage. The established hedging to the boundary delivers the kind of privacy that only comes with maturity and the elevated aspect from the rear lawn opens again to those same sweeping views across the city and out toward the Derwent that make this position so exceptional.
With a separate single garage, corner block and no through road positioning, outdoor entertaining and a location just minutes from the Moonah town centre, public transport, schools and the full breadth of northern suburbs infrastructure, 18 Lawson Street is a home that quietly outperforms its category at every turn. Opportunities like this, at this elevation and with this outlook, simply do not last.
