Description of the home

Hi all,

We have a lovely, newly renovated, room in our Alphington home available now.

~Location~
We are in Alphington/ Fairfield very close to the gorgeous Darebin Parklands. The house is 4 mins walk to the train (Hurstbridge/Eltham/Greensborough line, which runs directly to all the best suburbs like Collingwood, Northcote, Richmond etc) and several reliable bus routes.

Station street shops are 10 mins walk, where there are lovely new wine bars popping up, fresh food and community favourites including A1 Bakery and Oasis for all your meal time needs.

The neighbourhood is truly picturesque and very quiet despite being close to everything—it's especially charming in winter with the crisp earthy air and scent of all the wood fires.

~The house~
Is huge! It is fully furnished and has three bedrooms with separate living and dining rooms, and a giant backyard.

We have loads of space to hang out without being in each other's way, but also come together for wines and movie nights whenever schedules align.

The kitchen is large with lots of storage space, crockery and appliance etc.

~ The room ~
Your room is large and sunny with stunning bay windows, dark floorboards and a built in wardrobe with mirrors. It fits a queen size bed and a dresser or desk very comfortably.

~Housemates ~
You would be living with two queer femmes Sabina she/ her 32 (Writer, Curator) and Rachael she / her 33 (Retail).

We love wine and a chat after work, but tend to keep things pretty chill around the house.

We also love a dinner party/ hosting from time to time but are always very considerate to accommodate everyone's schedules and are sure to let each other know before planning bigger gatherings.

Goes without saying but cleanliness and initiative are very important to us.

~You~
Honouring our current coven vibes we would love someone queer or femme. Must be house proud, currently employed, and clean. No couples or pets sorry.

~The $$$~
Rent is *$1033 a month, and bond is $940.
Bills are approx $150 a month.

*PLEASE NOTE*
We are ideally looking for someone to eventually split the lease two ways $1400 each pcm, which would be sharing with one other housemate (Sabina). So the candidate would start paying $1033 and eventually pay $1400.

However we are also considering the current 3 housemate arrangement $1033 too.

If this sounds like a good fit for you - send us a message with some info about you - and let’s have a chat ☺️.
