***RARE*** Peaceful home to share, housemates usually stay longer than they intend to. Photo's provided include Louie and Liz note after only intending to stay 6 weeks, which turn into 6 months.
A beautiful Art Deco (California bungalow style) free-standing double brick home, original features. Is affordable due to a sunroom being converted into bedroom. Will suit a soul who has a young heart yet likes old school style of living. An inspiring place to live, a home vibe with charm, a living art piece that you can contribute to if you so desire.

My main goal is to live life in harmony, seek consciousness and to promote kindness. This includes helping out in a time of need and conscious consumption. I choose vintage and ethics over for my consumables. From a food perspective I am heavily guided by ayurvedic way of living, my weekly food mostly comes from the backyard/earth (fruit and vegetables). To some extent I am mostly vegetarian, however on occasions I will treat myself with bangers and mash or spag bol. I cook regularly and always have plenty to share. For fun work I have an art business oart.com.au. For my vocation, work very part-time in project/business stuff while I am studying Cert IV - Mental Health.
Max is in the main bedroom, international traveller of French/German heritage, hard working in hospo and is often out and about.
We're a social home where we come together in shared spaces to catch up as it suits. My personal preference is not to live with complete hermits who are in the habit of eating regularly where you sleep. Ideally we are looking for someone who is interested in knowing the people they share a home space with.
I would prefer to share the home with like-minded humans who are conscious consumers for the sake of the planet, their health and humanity. Pain points for me include over packaged goods, plastic packaging, chemical toxic cleaning stuff and CAGED eggs (preference is for Organic eggs where chickens live like chickens).
Basically, we like to live a chilled life full of harmony, no bad vibes, open and frank discussions and who enjoy peaceful evenings, some good tunes on the weekend. I love listening to community radio PBS or RRR, when there is screen time TV, my preference is to watch doco’s or something that is going to help me understand the world or myself better SBSondemand, ABCiview, Hotdoc's. Sometimes I tap into Netflux but it is not my go-to. My guilty viewing pleasure for trash tv is 'Bondi rescue', I love observing how the lifesavers work as a team and manage stress!
Gin & Tonic are our resident chickens, if you are really nice to them they will lay you an egg
