Patterson Lakes home in idyllic waterside pocket ‘stuns’ with $1.4m sale
7 Tasman Court, Patterson Lakes, sold for $1.4m.
The vendors of a “big family home” in a waterside pocket of Melbourne were left stunned on Saturday as their house notched a $1.4m sale.
Jordon and Lara Brosnan (right) only moved into the Patterson Lakes property three years ago — but while the market remains hot the savvy pair decided to sell, cashing in on Melbourne’s soaring property prices.
And it paid off, with the sale topping their asking price by more than $250,000 at online auction.

“We are absolutely ecstatic at the result,” Ms Brosnan said.
“It was crazy. It went beyond what we ever thought we would get.”
After renovating the property, including putting down new floorboards and carpet and giving the house a new lick of paint, the couple said they were ready for someone else to enjoy the spacious home and friendly neighbourhood.
“We just tried to modernise (the home),” Mr Brosnan said.
“It has beautiful natural light and high vaulted ceilings.
“It’s a great place to live, it’s a nice community and we just love that beach lifestyle.”
Mr Brosnan added that the property was a “stone’s throw” from schools, shops, the local lake and walking reserves, making it an idyllic location.

Ray White Patterson Lakes director Genevieve Hill said there had been an overwhelming response from would-be buyers throughout the campaign, despite it being cut short by two weeks due to the state’s Covid-19 snap lockdown.
“It’s the only property in the Harbour Town estate for sale, which has generated a fair bit of interest,” Ms Hill said.
“It’s a big family home, perfect for those who want that big family layout.”
She said the backyard was a major drawcard for families looking for a “blank canvas” or to install a pool.
Ms Hill added that the local market was “going pretty well” with most buyers looking to upgrade.
“They have the money to spend and in lockdown many have realised they want more space.” she said.
