Tucked away at the end of a private shared driveway and welcomed by electric gates, the home has an immediate sense of privacy and retreat. Yet despite its peaceful setting, Sandy Bay and Hobart’s CBD are only a short drive away, creating an enviable balance between leafy seclusion and city-fringe convenience. This substantial five bedroom home delivers something increasingly difficult to find – genuine space for a growing family, beautifully renovated interiors and multiple living areas that allow everyone to come together or comfortably retreat to their own corner of the home.

Set across two generous levels and occupying an expansive 3,343m² allotment, the home has been thoughtfully updated by its current owners, bringing a fresh sense of warmth and refinement while retaining the scale and flexibility that makes the property so well suited to family life.

At the heart of the home, the kitchen and main living space come together as one warm and inviting area for everyday family life. The kitchen is generous in scale, anchored by an expansive island bench with plenty of room for family and friends to pull up a stool — the kind of space where breakfast happens in a hurry, afternoon conversations linger, and guests naturally gather while dinner is being prepared.

From the kitchen, broad windows frame the surrounding greenery, giving you a wonderful sense of being immersed amongst the trees. You can prepare a meal, pour a glass of wine or simply look out across the leafy surrounds, feeling a million miles away from everything while still being remarkably close to it all.

There is a real ease to the way this part of the home works. Meal preparation at the island while chatting with friends, keep an eye on the kids as they move between the living spaces and the garden beyond, then open the doors and let the whole area flow naturally onto the deck. It creates an effortless indoor-outdoor connection, perfect for long lunches, relaxed dinners or drinks with friends as the afternoon light filters through the trees.

Flowing from here, the main living room has been beautifully elevated by new custom cabinetry, bringing clean lines, excellent storage and a more refined finish to the space. Together with the timber tones of the kitchen and the outlook to the trees beyond, it creates a living environment that feels warm, practical and deeply connected to its setting. The ground floor continues to offer space to spread out with a separate formal dining room creating a lovely setting for long dinners and special occasions, while an additional living room provides a quieter retreat — somewhere to read, unwind or simply escape the activity of the main family spaces.

Also on this level, the master suite feels like a genuine retreat of its own. Beautifully renovated, it has been transformed into a calm and considered space, with custom cabinetry creating the feel of a full dressing room as you enter. It is practical, polished and private — a place to step away from the busyness of family life and enjoy a little separation at the end of the day. A further bedroom or study on the ground floor adds flexibility for guests, working from home or younger children, while a full beautifully renovated bathroom and laundry complete this level.

As you make your way upstairs, a huge expanse of glass draws the treetops into the home, flooding the stairwell with natural light and creating a wonderful sense of connection with the leafy surrounds.

And once you reach the top — the scale of the upstairs living space really hits you.

The family room is enormous. This is the kind of space that changes how a growing family lives. A wonderfully flexible space with room for everyone to spread out, unwind and make it their own. Afternoon sun pours through the windows, making it a warm and inviting place for teenagers to hang out with friends, younger children to spread out with toys and games, or the whole family to settle in for movie nights and lazy weekends.

Three further bedrooms are positioned around this upper level, all with built-in robes, together with a full family bathroom and separate toilet which has also been beautifully renovated. It gives children or teenagers their own complete zone while still keeping everyone connected under the one roof.

That separation is one of the home's greatest strengths. As children grow and family life changes, there is room here for everyone to have their own space without ever feeling disconnected.

Practical comforts have been thoughtfully covered too, with multiple reverse-cycle air-conditioning units throughout the home and a 6.6kW solar system adding efficiency to everyday living.

494 Nelson Road provides a unique blended lifestyle, that is in close proximity to schools, parks, shops & restaurants, yet private & spacious. It is a home designed for the different stages of family life – with room for everyone, room to entertain and importantly, room to grow.
