We're looking for a third housemate for our 3bdrm sharehouse in Seddon. Sorry folks, we can't accommodate couples or any more pets.

* Located on a quiet street close to Victoria Street / Middle Footscray station and a short walk to Footscray and Seddon stations - only 15 mins to the city via train!
* Large street-facing room that captures all of the afternoon sunshine. Large enough for a king-sized bed, desk, and the other usual bedroom furniture. Wardrobe provided. (If you're in need of a bed, our outgoing housemate is willing to sell his QS Sealy for $150.)
* Bathroom includes rainfall shower with on-demand hot water system. No more unexpected cold showers!
* The garden features fruiting plum and orange trees, and an established veggie garden that you are welcome to make your own.
* Subscriptions to Netflix, Stan / Stan Sports, Prime Video and Disney+ paid for by one of your housemates.
* Speedy and reliable FTTP internet connection.
* Off-street parking for those with a car.

You'd be sharing with Toni (me - NB AFAB, queer, ND, works full-time in education, and spends most of her free time reading, watching tv, cuddling with her 🐕 or sleeping) and Ewan (M, gay, selectively employed, appreciates coffee, classical music, and playing Ingress). We're both 40+, non-smokers, drug-free and politically very left-aligned.

Rent is $1000pcm, not including

*****

Stand alone house on a quiet street in Seddon, just a minute's walk from Victoria Street so nice and close to a grocery store (Happy Apple), Foodworks, AusPost, bakeries, cafes, pubs / bars, restaurants, and a heap of cute shops.

Walk to Yarraville or to Footscray, or catch any of the local public transport options (we're a five minute walk to Middle Footscray Station, and within walking distance to Footscray / Seddon / West Footscray Stations. The 223 bus connecting Yarraville and Highpoint is a couple of minutes from us, too).

The house is fully furnished, we have a little space if you have things of your own to contribute. The tv (but not the tv unit) is leaving with our outgoing housemate, so if you have a tv that you don't want to keep in your room we can absolutely accommodate that in the living room, too.

Bonus points: We have a fruiting orange tree and plum tree in our backyard, along with a heap of freshly grown veggies.

Sorry folks, our home can't accommodate couples or any more pets.

About occupants
Your housemates will be:

Toni (he/him or she/her), early 40's - me! I'm a kindergarten teacher and reality tv tragic, as well as Neko's human (see info about our pets).

Ewan (he/him), older than Toni. Stage musician. Loves gaming, coffee and chatting.

I'm out the door pretty early in the morning and Ewan spends most of his time at home. We're friendly, respectful of other people and their space, and appreciate clean common areas and direct / open communication.
Compatible people
We’re looking for someone who is politically progressive / left-aligned. You'll be employed, independent, LGBTIQ+ friendly and generally easy-going. Ideally you'd be 30+ with sharehouse experience and keen to contribute to keeping the house clean. We're a drug and smoke -free household.

Please send us a message letting us know something about who you are if you're keen to check the room out.

Please note: You will need to go on the lease and all applications will have to be approved by the real estate agent and landlord.
Description of pets
Neko is a 4 yo Italian mastiff x American bulldog. She is pretty keen to make friends with ALL of the humans so you'll ideally be into giving her pats and playing with her too. Neko's favourite things are food, playing fetch and tug, going for walks, snuggling up for cuddles, and resting in the sunshine. Her least favourite things are dogs, cats, possums, her own reflection, and when breakfast / dinner is later than usual.

Unfortunately we can't have any other pets.
