Steeped in history and overflowing with character, "Pear Tree Cottage" is one of West Hobart’s earliest homes, dating back to Circa 1839. This delightful heritage residence offers storybook charm, blending its original Georgian elegance with a sympathetic 1970s extension that brought added comfort and liveability.

Inside, wide original timber floorboards, original windows, quaint features and the romantic attic bedrooms speak to a bygone era, creating a warm and inviting ambience throughout. The thoughtful extension provides bathroom and laundry ammenities and an additional ground floor bedroom while retaining the essence of the home’s heritage soul.

Set on a spacious allotment, the property features a large double story garden studio — ideal as an artist’s retreat, library, home office or guest space. The studio enjoys a sunny aspect and views over the garden, urban surrounds and city. The separate lined garden shed/workshop is tucked away in the established leafy grounds that offering privacy and tranquillity to the home. Gated off-street parking for two cars is a rare bonus in this sought-after city-fringe location.

Perfectly positioned within walking distance of local cafés, shops, schools and the Hobart CBD, Pear Tree Cottage presents an exceptional opportunity to secure a significant piece of West Hobart’s history and potential to further enhance or restore this enchanting home. Available to the market for the first time since 1967, a visit to Pear Tree Cottage is a must for lovers of history, character and charm.
