Richmond

Description of the home

Looking for a great couple to join me in my sweet little Abbotsford 3 storey townhouse. I'm a travel photographer/ film-maker and actor and my current housies are heading back to London!

The second floor is an open plan shared living space with a modern kitchen and really comfortable living room + a great deck for these warmer months (wine and brews on the balcony). Big ceilings, HEAPS of beautiful natural light and wooden floorboards. I'm a bit of an art collector so the walls are filled with some great modern art along with my own work. This space is completely decked out, very comfortable, nicely designed and has great energy. Its a comfortable place and somewhere I want everyone to feel at home.

There's Netflix and a spare fold-out bed for visitors. I am a big fan of friends and relatives stopping over for a few nights here and there.

My living space is on the top floor with my office (I work from home), bathroom and bedroom. I'm super easy to live with and spend quite a bit of time overseas so often you will have the house to yourself. We have separate bathrooms and so it creates this really nice house harmony cos we have really distinct and separate living areas.

The location we have is unbelievable, walking distance to Yarra bend park, 30 seconds from a tram, 5 minutes to a train, the whole of Victorias St's cafes, restaurants and bars are literally metres away. Walking/biking distance to smith st and all the Fitzroy goodness aswell as the Richmond and Abbotsford scene. It's pretty much a perfect spot. The biggest warning is that you will eat out SOOOO much more because its fresh, close and cheap. (embrace it!)

Bills and expenses

Gas, elec + water are split evenly when the bills come in. On inspection I can give you some details on the previous months.

Parking is a bit tough. I have the single car space and we don't have a permit for street parking (council rules for townhouses like these). There's a lot of overnight parking on the adjacent streets so if you are working during the day there's no issues for overnight + weekend parking. If a night worker it becomes a little bit more difficult as sometimes the only available parking is 200m from the house. Saying that, that parking is un-limited. Ultimately, this is the drawback of living in richmond these days as apartments are going up everywhere and the streets arent getting any bigger.
