Convenience and comfort are well blended in this 22 square low set brick home secluded in its own beautiful ½ acre garden and situated in one of Tamborine Mountain’s most admired areas. Lassen Drive is a very quiet, short street in the Forest Park area of North Tamborine where there are no through roads. Every home in this locality is positioned on a ½ acre block of prime red gardening soil and most homes, like this one, have superb mature grounds. It is easy to see why this area is much loved by growing families and mature couples who love to garden. This special home is located on the southern side of the street in an elevated position with a large paved and pergola covered front terrace taking full advantage of the northerly aspect.

The home was built about 20 years ago on its perfectly rectangular elevated block with wide 34 metre street frontage. Over the past 2 decades, the originally bare grassed land has been transformed into a superbly private, very well fenced and terraced garden replete with shady trees, paved pathways, sunny lawn areas, garden beds and a big magical rock garden featuring a variety of bromeliads and other rock garden plants. A pretty pergola covered timber gate occupies a central position in the well trimmed front hedge and opens onto a paved walkway leading to the patio and impressive glass and timber front door. The door leads into an open foyer that flows directly into the large formal lounge with its big picture window overlooking the cool green of the front garden. A door leads from the lounge through to the large all new, craftsman built kitchen with Caesar stone bench tops and all the appliances you expect, including a stainless steel wall oven, stainless steel rangehood and a dishwasher as well as deep storage drawers and 2 door pantry.

The roomy dining area adjoins the kitchen and, like the kitchen, looks out over the patio and into the front garden. A wide set of screened ranch sliders captures the lovely northerly morning light while avoiding any of that too warm summer sun. A wide opening leads on from the dining area into the family rumpus room where the natural light again is a major feature and a modern split-unit air conditioner ensures year round comfort that flows out through the wide opening back into the dining and kitchen space. All the living areas and kitchen feature uniform neutral cream tiling and attractive modern lighting. All 3 bedrooms are carpeted and also take advantage of big picture windows for both light and dreamy garden vistas.

The separate home office / studio is also a naturally light and quite large space with a storeroom at the back. A wall mounted reverse cycle air conditioner keeps this a comfortable working space in all seasons of the year. Behind the studio and at a lower level, both the double carport and the green steel lock-up garage are well concealed from the house by both the studio and the gardens. A full concrete driveway follows the eastern boundary line to the car accommodation and a set of steps cut into lawn between garden beds give easy access from there up to the house. With ample water from a good bore, the gardens have flourished and now provide that perfect setting for living and entertaining, all within easy access to North Tamborine’s shops and facilities, Tamborine Mountain College and the Catholic Church.
