Set behind a white picket fence and nestled amongst a virtual orchard of fruit trees, “Persimmon Cottage” has been loving restored and improved to recapture the appeal of its’ hundred-year history. One of Tewantin’s original fishing cottages and one hundred years old this year, the property is positioned high on the hill to pick up the cooling river breezes and is located a short 7-minute stroll to the cafes of Main Street of Tewantin.
Persimmon Cottage oozes charm, from the brass ships’ bell at the front door, through to the private outside bathroom and artists retreat/studio in the back yard. The home has been renovated and improved, yet remains true to its’ fishing’ cottage heritage, with a huge north facing deck and fly over roof that is an outdoor living area like no other. Cedar shutters provide protection from the weather and the deck overlooks the beautiful cottage garden.
The home retains the original timber flooring, VJ panelling and French windows & doors feature throughout the house, adding to its appeal. Fruit trees, including lemons, limes, guavas, persimmons and bananas abound in the garden and a hanging fireplace provides the perfect ambiance for an evening beverage year-round. The property is an ideal entry to the Old Tewantin market or as a downsizing opportunity, being single level on a near flat block of land and being so close to the centre of town - there really is a lot to love about this charming home.
