“The Deanery” Circa 1900 9 Pillinger Street, DYNNYRNE TAS 7005

This fantastic property is a piece of Tasmanian history. Believed to be originally built by Sir John Stokel, the Chief Justice Minister of Tasmania at the time and purchased in 1943 by the Anglican Church to house the then Dean Reverend H.P.Fewtrell and Mrs Fewtrell and has since been known as “The Deanery”.

Visually appealing, this iconic two storey, solid brick, Federation home on a generous level allotment is privately situated in one of Sandy Bay’s most sought after locations.

The versatile floor plan would suit any size family, with room for in-laws or could even host boutique weddings and functions (STCA), with several generous formal living areas, five bedrooms and two bathrooms plus several anterooms.

Entering through the original leadlight doorway, you are greeted by the grand, bespoke staircase which is central to the property. The vaulted ceilings allowing natural light to flood into the home through bay and curved windows, creating a wonderful sense of warmth and atmosphere.

With classic features such as high ceilings, picture rails, fretwork and extensive timber paneling, ornate mantles, pressed tin, open fire places and timber floors throughout are sure to appeal.

Entertainers will love both of the home’s enclosed verandahs which overlook the established mature gardens which is complete with a sandstone stair case and flagstones, several garden “rooms” plus mature walnut and fruit trees.

The home is a short stroll to Fitzroy Gardens and only minutes drive to the Hobart CBD, Sandy Bay shopping precinct and vibrant Salamanca waterfront featuring all of the delights of the Battery Point restaurant and café culture.

Homes of this era with an opportunity to personalise are becoming increasingly difficult to find.

Due to the large L shaped 2,021 square metre allotment, future development opportunities may be possible subject to council approval. NBN is connected to the property.

Inspection by appointment.
