Clifton Hill

Description of the home

There's a lot to like about living in this secluded pocket of Clifton Hill. Proximity-wise, it's well connected to the city: a brief 10-minute walk to Clifton Hill train station, 15 minutes from trams on Queens Parade and High street, and the Capital City Bike Trail along the river is on your doorstep. Despite its proximity to the Inner North and the city's offerings, waking up to birds and green spaces along the Merri Creek or Yarra River is serene. It’s hard to believe you can feel like you’re so far out of the city while strolling along the creek or river here. Moreover, the Abbotsford Convent and Farm as well as Johnston St. are easily accessible with ample green spaces and parks nearby.

Our current housemate is going back to Italy and we're sad to see her go but excited to meet our new housemate. Open to shorter-term stays if you know the exact dates you will be moving in and out.

This has been my home for almost 9 years now and I've done my best to make it a comfortable space for living. It's a three-level townhouse with three bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs, while the lower level hosts all the living areas and a small plant-filled courtyard. The vibe is very relaxed and chilled; it's a great space to unwind and recharge.
I have all modern living essentials like a fridge, washer, microwave, dishwasher, BBQ and Dyson vacuum; with split systems in all bedrooms and full-house ducted gas heating. The kitchen is well-equipped with most things you'd need. There’s no TV, and we prefer the living room not to be oriented around one. However, entertainment needs are met with an impressive home cinema featuring a projector (with an unobtrusive drop-down screen for binging and watching movies) and a great hi-fi system. The bedroom can be partly furnished or empty, and open to mixing up the decor if you want it furnished. Off-street parking is always available on the quiet neighbourhood streets. There’s an all-round friendly neighbourhood atmosphere here, with families and dogs frequenting nearby parks. 'The Hill' at the end of our street is a local favourite observation spot known for its stunning city skyline views and sunsets, especially in the summer.

I've advertised elsewhere and in the past have had many inquiries to respond to. I apologise if I can't get to your message promptly but I will do my best to get back to you. Please feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Bills and expenses

All the usuals - Electricity - Gas - Water - Internet, all split equally. I regularly compare providers to make sure we're getting the best deals to help keep expenses as low as possible. The Internet is 250mbs so there are never issues with it. The bond is one month's rent paid before the move-in date. All bills are transparently uploaded and managed in an App we use called 'Splitwise', which makes it convenient and simple to manage. We try to settle any current bills along with the rent each month.
