A big rectangular block of land with 29 metre street frontage and dense mature border plantings for privacy is the setting for this 2 level home that is positioned towards the rear of the land with its long front verandah looking out to the north. The home was originally built as a simple 3 bedroom high set in 1987 and has recently undergone extensive renovations and expansion to bring it up to be more in keeping with the current value of surrounding homes. It is ideally located in the much treed and picturesque Forest Park area of North Tamborine where all homes are on ½ acre red soil blocks. This area is handy to Tamborine Mountain College, the Catholic Church and the many facilities of the North Tamborine Village area, including the swimming pool and bowls club.

The upper level of the home has polished timber floors throughout the entry, open living, kitchen and new family living. All 3 bedrooms have carpeted floors. The entire living area is quite open and free flowing with the all new galley style kitchen positioned to be private from the main living area while still handy for serving purposes. The kitchen has all modern stainless steel appliances including wall oven, cooktop, rangehood and dishwasher as well as a good sized pantry and an extra large fridge space for a double door upright fridge and freezer unit. The recently added family room area comes with an interesting high ceiling and wonderful timber and glass French doors that open wide out onto the large covered entertaining deck. An air conditioner in the family area controls the temperature not only in that area and the kitchen, but also sends its comfort through to the living area. The well positioned slow combustion wood fire in the living area is more or less now an added bonus for pleasure in the winter months.

The upper level contains the master suite with its new sparkling white ensuite, four door robe and extra storage room is complemented by 2 smaller bedrooms and the main bathroom plus the laundry. The attractively tiled main bathroom with separate toilet is in excellent condition, as is the laundry.

A set of wide internal stairs leads down to the all new area under the house which encompasses a massive carpeted rumpus room that could easily be divided into separate rooms, plus 2 smaller rooms - one suitable for home office and the other another great storage room. Another set of timber & glass doors open out beneath the fully covered front verandah on the main level to provide a direct entry to the rumpus and also the internal stairs. Water is already connected to the rumpus via a small hand basin and a vanity unit with modern basin. This huge space with its own entry would be ideal for anyone who wanted to work from home.

The garden is a kids’ dream play area with shady areas and tons of open lawn. The alterations to the home have left a bit of an unfinished area directly in front of the house that awaits the next owner to do some landscaping and driveway improvement. Then the land can be left “as is” and ever so easily maintained, or turned into a dream garden, like so many others in this locality.
