Private bedroom
- Shared bathroom
- Built-in wardrobe
Room would best suit someone with very little property like a student, someone who has just left home, or someone who has been couch surfing.
Will suit someone with very few belongings as storage in the house is limited. There is no separate garage for storage.
Access to stored items in your room would be required from time to time by me.
Home Description
Description of the home
The house is a 2 minute walk to Yarraville Village with it's many and varied cafes, restaurants and wine/beer bars, a couple of supermarkets, bookshop, gift shops, Endota Spa, Flight Centre and The Sun Theatre. Train to the city is a 5-7 minute walk away. Train to Werribee/Altona/Williamstown is a 3-5 minute walk.
Yarraville to Flinders Street train station is a 16 minute trip. Yarraville to North Melbourne station is 10 minutes.
House has a bath for those so inclined to rest weary bodies. There isn't a lounge suite or dining table, as previous housemates have kept to themselves in their own room. Lounge room is very much a study and storage area currently. There is a tv in the lounge room with Foxtel connected which could be viewed from a chair if desired.
I watch TV in my bedroom so don't have a need for lounge suite, and rarely watch TV in the lounge room anymore.
I don't tolerate heat well, so the best type of housemate will be someone who doesn't mind a cool house between Sept-May as I usually have fans or air con on. I very rarely use the heating, in colder months, but once it's below 15c I usually put it on to warm the rooms up. I use air-conditioning in my bedroom to ensure a great night's sleep when nights are above 15c. Electricity bill will be adjusted for housemate to reflect this higher usage by me.

I have a low tolerance of the heat, so in Spring/Summer/Autumn have the air-conditioner on when day time temp hits 25c+. In winter, don't tend to use the heating, unless it gets below 12c as I enjoy the cold and just rug up with clothes and blankets.
After work tend to be too stuffed to be cooking, so I just zap a processed meal in the microwave (unless I have left overs from a cook up on the weekend) and settle into some tv.
