12 Tulip Street

Few homes in Maleny offer this combination of history, character and position. Set within one of the town's most admired streets, this beautifully preserved 1920s Queenslander enjoys an elevated position with views across Maleny and the surrounding countryside, all within an easy walk of the town centre. Lovingly maintained by its current custodian since 1987, the home reflects decades of careful stewardship, with every improvement undertaken in keeping with its character and history. Originally built by the owner of Maleny's local timber mill, a member of one of the district's pioneering families, the home remains a tangible connection to the town's early years. The traditional front verandah captures the home's elevated outlook across Maleny's greenery and surrounding countryside, creating a welcoming space to sit, relax and enjoy the changing landscape throughout the seasons. As day gives way to evening, it also becomes the perfect place to appreciate the night sky above. Inside, the timeless appeal of the era remains beautifully intact. The central living and dining rooms form the heart of the home, where soaring 12-foot VJ ceilings, polished timber floors, decorative arches and intricate fretwork create a wonderful sense of space and character. A centrally positioned wood burner provides warmth and ambience during the cooler months, while handcrafted stained-glass and leadlight features created by the current owner add a distinctive personal touch. Original breezeways, transom windows and French doors further celebrate the home's Queenslander heritage, enhancing both natural light and airflow throughout. The French country-style kitchen pairs character with practicality, featuring stone benchtops, Bosch appliances and Portuguese tiles. Two bathrooms continue the home's traditional charm, including a clawfoot bath, restored vintage basin and elegant finishes, while the privately positioned main bedroom enjoys direct access to the verandah, creating a peaceful retreat complemented by its own ensuite. Set on a level 1,214m² allotment comprising two separate titles, the grounds have been carefully established with sandstone-edged garden beds, paved pathways, a paved driveway and a pergola for outdoor entertaining. Mature ornamental plantings, including frangipani, tibouchina, camellias, bougainvillea, may bush and a feature jacaranda contribute colour and seasonal interest throughout the year. The garden also attracts a variety of birdlife, including whipbirds, fruit doves, magpies and bower birds, adding another layer of enjoyment to this established setting. A fully lined and powered double garage provides flexibility as a studio, workshop or creative space, while a single carport is positioned beneath the home. Solar power, air conditioning to two bedrooms, and both tank and town water contribute to the home's comfort and practicality, complementing a property that successfully balances heritage character with everyday liveability. Situated within easy walking distance of Maleny's cafés, shops and community facilities, with the Showgrounds and surrounding recreational facilities also close at hand, this is an opportunity to secure a significant piece of Maleny's history in one of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland's most tightly held communities.
