There is a lovely sense of discovery as you arrive at 14 Beech Street.
Tucked below the road behind established trees and gardens, this beautiful Maleny cottage feels private and wonderfully removed from the world around it, yet is just a few minutes' stroll from the heart of town. There is history here too. Originally a worker's cottage with connections to the former Maleny Butter Factory, the home has retained the warmth, character and individuality that make these cottages so enduringly appealing.
Step inside and the details tell the story. High VJ walls and ceilings, timber windows and joinery, warm Stringybark floors and rooms filled with natural light create a home that feels authentic rather than recreated. The original enclosed sleep-out now provides a lovely light-filled workspace, while the central living and dining room forms the welcoming heart of the cottage.
An adjoining sunroom offers another beautiful place to retreat with a book or morning coffee, looking out through the greenery of the garden. Both bedrooms are wonderfully generous, with high ceilings, timber floors, ceiling fans and banks of windows bringing the garden outlook inside.
The country-style kitchen sits comfortably within the character of the cottage, with timber cabinetry, open shelving, timber and composite benchtops and a generous servery. Windows on two sides bring in plenty of natural light and lovely garden outlooks, while the adjoining pantry provides valuable additional storage. Beyond is an attractively renovated bathroom, finished in a style sympathetic to the cottage and its history.
And then there is the rear deck.
Generously proportioned and completely covered, this is an outdoor living space in the truest sense — somewhere to gather around the table for long lunches, linger over a morning coffee or simply sit and look out into the garden. Surrounded by greenery and wonderfully connected to the landscape below, it feels like a natural extension of the home.
From here, stairs lead down into a mature ornamental garden that has evolved over many years. Established trees create a beautiful canopy above layered subtropical plantings, with brick pathways to wander, little places to sit, a firepit, productive garden areas and a greenhouse tucked amongst the greenery. An outdoor bathtub with its own wood heater adds another wonderfully individual touch.
Adding another dimension is the original garage, now converted into a separate powered garden studio with its own rear deck and a lovely outlook into the surrounding greenery. Whether used for working from home, painting, writing, hobbies or simply as a space to retreat, it is a wonderful addition. A second bathroom beneath the main residence conveniently services this lower garden and studio area.
