4 bedrooms, 3 living spaces, a large backyard, fabulous outdoor entertaining and a really excellent floor plan are just a few of the unexpected surprises which hide behind the faade of this architecturally styled brick home.
Situated on the high side of this quiet no through residential street, the property has a beautiful front aspect to Mount Moon and the scenic surrounding countryside. A wonderful home with lots of space yet a comfy, cosy feel, the location is equally as family friendly. Literally across the road lies the oval and the recreational hub of Mount Compass. Schooling, facilities and shopping are but a hop, skip and a jump away, yet you are immersed within country quiet.
With a room for every occasion, the heart of the home is a delightful, light and airy open plan family room for day to day living and entertaining. A separate retreat or rumpus area provides an escape for the children and a beautiful sunken lounge offers a cosy retreat at the end of the day.
Outside a large verandah provides relaxed outdoor entertaining and the back yard boasts a huge flat lawn for family fun and games and a peaceful courtyard to sit and read a book to the sound of birdsong. Country town lifestyle of course comes with the obligatory shedding, chook run and fruit trees and a lined studio offers a multitude of uses for those inspired by their surroundings.

Some words from the vendors:
We bought this house due to its family friendly layout, its uniqueness, location to schools etc and the feeling of just knowing that it would make a great family home.
Being on the high side of the road we have been able to enjoy the views of the hills including a beautiful pair of wedge tail eagles that circle the hills in the late afternoon.
Although being in a suburban area we have always felt that we have had room to move and escape from the daily grind. The location is amazing being able to walk to all of the community facilities. With friends and family we have especially enjoyed the community events including the yearly Christmas pageant, being able to walk to the events and come and go as we please has been a real pleasure and point of difference that this home has been able to offer.
Night time is very peaceful and the stars shine brightly in the sky due to Mount Compass sitting at a high altitude with minimal light pollution, when friends visit from the city they are amazed by the peace and the bright stars.
We have very friendly neighbours. The street has been very stable with very few people moving. Our daughter is especially sad to be leaving her 'best friend' from next door but I am sure there will be plenty of visits to come. It is a very quiet street with minimal traffic.
It is with sadness that we are leaving beautiful Mount Compass but I am looking forward to living closer to family (my sister recently had a baby) and my children need to get to know their new cousin better. If we could move this house with us we would be very happy....
