Home Description

Description of the home

Looking for a female/non-binary housemate for a quiet, sunny, 2-bedroom (1-bathroom, separate toilet) unit in leafy Box Hill!! My lovely housemate is moving in with her boyfriend, but I love this place, so looking to find someone else who will love the place as much as me! You will be sharing with me and my sweet cat named Monte. Perfect for city workers who don’t want the hustle and bustle to follow them home! I have an excellent personal relationship with the property owner and the property manager, and any rental increases have only occurred at the lease renewal and have been minimal. The lease ends in December (you would be going on the lease), but am looking for someone who is looking for a long-term home, to renew the lease with me in December for some stability!

THE UNIT: This unit has a split system in the main living area, a dishwasher, and a carport. The place is located within a 10-15 minute walk to Laburnum station (Lilydale/Belgrave line + express trains!!) and a 20-minute walk to Box Hill Central (tram and yummy food!). There are also 2 close bus stops (5min, 10min). The place is mostly furnished, with my friend (outgoing housemate) willing to leave some items behind (temporarily or permanently), so we can be flexible depending on what you want to bring in! Your room will be unfurnished, or we can come to an arrangement with the outgoing housemate.

About occupants
ABOUT ME: My name is Matilda (Tilly), and I’m 25. I am working an average of 4 days per week in retail whilst finishing off my postgraduate studies in Public Health, so on the hunt for a 9-5 at the moment! I am a quiet person who enjoys cooking, reading, and using my downtime at home to relax. I spend most of the time at work, studying, walking, cooking, or recharging, with not too much time for anything else! I don’t have parties, but I don’t mind the occasional dinner with a friend. I am friendly, communicative and considerate, and happy to share! I’d love to have a good wine, chat, and TV show with you, and always considerate of boundaries.
Compatible people
ABOUT YOU: I’m looking for someone with a similar lifestyle to mine, so if you feel like we match, please message me! You MUST be good with pets and be diligent in keeping doors and windows closed (I keep the back door with the screen shut for fresh air!). Preferably working full time (or close enough) for real estate, and a preference for not working from home, as the place is on the smaller side, so not conducive to that. Looking for someone who is also noise-conscious and friendly. Must be approved by real estate agent.
Description of pets
My indoor-only cat, Monte, is quiet, litter trained, and well-behaved. His litter is scooped twice per day and completely changed once per week for hygiene and odour-prevention purposes. He is shy but will love you if you take the time to befriend him. He is happy to leave you alone.
