Overview
Set in a tranquil, leafy setting just a short walk from Maleny's town center, 14 Beech Street is a charming cottage rich in history and character. Originally constructed as a worker’s cottage with ties to the historic Maleny Butter Factory, the home retains authentic period features that create a warm and inviting atmosphere, including high v-joint walls and ceilings, timber window joinery, and Stringybark timber floors.
The cottage houses two generously sized bedrooms, both adorned with high ceilings and ceiling fans, enhancing natural airflow and complemented by garden views through multiple windows. The central living and dining spaces are a cozy haven, anchored by a fireplace and enhanced by air-conditioning for comfort across seasons. An adjoining sunroom provides a peaceful spot for relaxation or reading, overlooking the mature gardens.
The kitchen marries rustic charm with functionality, featuring timber cabinetry, open shelving, composite benchtops, and a generous servery, all filled with natural light from windows on two sides. A well-proportioned pantry adds valuable storage. The bathroom echoes the home’s character with sympathetic renovations that maintain its historical appeal.
Outdoor living is a highlight with a spacious covered rear deck seamlessly extending the home's living space. It is ideal for entertaining or enjoying quiet moments surrounded by the lush garden that unfolds into an established subtropical haven complete with brick pathways, seating areas, a firepit, productive garden plots, a greenhouse, and a unique outdoor bathtub with a wood heater.
Additional flexibility is offered by a converted original garage, now a powered garden studio with its own deck and garden views, suitable for a home office, creative pursuits, or private retreat. Supporting this setup is a second bathroom conveniently located below the main residence.
The property sits on a 698 sqm township allotment with access to full town services, including water and sewer, and benefits from sustainable features such as an eight-panel solar power system and gas hot water. Comfort enhancements include ceiling and underfloor insulation, and recent updates include a new roof and Stringybark flooring installations.
This home will appeal to buyers looking for a blend of heritage charm, privacy, and proximity to town conveniences. Its peaceful garden setting, versatile living spaces, and the distinct cottage ambiance offer a lifestyle that balances character and functionality, ideal for those seeking a comfortable and picturesque residence or potential short-term accommodation, subject to approvals.
