Home Description

Description of the home

Hi! I rent this super cute oldie Edwardian characterful house (European feel) with a north facing back garden in Newport (near Newport Lakes) and am looking for a compatible housie to share it with me! Will it be you?

The house is clean, fresh and light, has timber floors, plenty of old school charm and character and a really lovely feel. I’ve left some of the old style floral and lace cottage curtains that the landlord had newly made for the house.

Lounge room has an Edwardian fireplace, French windows and a sunny glassed-in verandah space with double glass sliding doors - perfect for a dining room or sitting and work room. Bath with shower overhead and separate toilet/laundry. It has new heating and cooling in every room. Curtains are different than in pics.

The room is queen size and is sunny, light and airy with timber floors and comes with a double clothes rack (not the vintage wardrobe in photo). Room also has a new split system air conditioner/heater.

Rent is $915 calendar month ($211 week approximately)
Bond is $915
Plus utility, internet bills, gardener. Cleaner if and when needed. Split bills 50/50. House maintenance shared equally including cleaning.

Any pets need approval of property owner and I need to be okay with the individual pet.

Walk to cafes, shops, parks, waterfront. Quick 13 min walk to Newport train station and 20 minutes into CBD. Quick to beaches and villages in Williamstown and Altona.

About the occupants
Me:
I am a friendly, warm, social, respectful, kind, considerate, fun, communicative, genuine, honest and reliable person and am looking to share with a person who is also.

My cultural background is English/European. I am tertiary educated. I make a beautiful, furnished, comfortable home to share and am looking for someone who appreciates and respects that and has a similar appreciation and way of being homey.

I enjoy sharing and have lots of house share experience. I am genuinely interested in others and their needs and interests. Appreciate both social and quiet times. I like home to be beautiful aesthetically, functional, clean, tidy and homey and prefer the shared living spaces to be returned daily to neutral positions and setting for a fresh start.

Responsible, tidy, clean, considerate, relaxed, friendly housie and need someone similar and who is domestically skilled and disciplined.

I’m active, creative and positive - interested in health and preventative medicine. I live on a plant-based diet and prefer to live with a person who is also vegan/vegetarian if possible - but okay too if you’re not.

Up for cuppas and chats and meals and movies together, cafe jaunts, adventures, home making projects, whatever ...
I don’t drink alcohol for health reasons, a bit boring I know, but I don’t have a problem if you like to have a glass. I’m still fun! Music and dance are my intoxicants.

I have a background in the arts, social work and human rights activism and enjoy meeting people from different cultural backgrounds. I have broad interest in ideas, music, culture, the arts, film, nature, animals, the environment and world affairs. So I read quite a lot.

Naturally more of a night owl than a rooster person. I respect other people’s schedules, activity, quiet, rest and sleep needs - as I would wish people to equally respect mine. Use headphones to be considerate and am flexible with functioning and sharing space.

I like to function in the house in a true old-school share house way with emphasis on the share. Sharing the life together and making a homie social and warm place. Looking for a person who is present, not absent.

Cleaning products: I only have eco non-toxic products in the house for both the environment and health. I can’t tolerate toxic chemicals, industrial cleaners like bleach
