Home Description

Description of the home

Instead of living in a tiny apartment by myself, I decided to get a large 3 level dream house on a ridge with expansive views to share.
I have lived in shared arrangements most of my life (Germany, USA, Australia) and setup the house for stress-free living with two dishwashers, washing machines, everyone has their own bathroom, cleaner for common areas and your rooms (not your clutter though).
The bedrooms are very quiet (apart from the birds!) with large sliding glass doors to the garden, AC and really nice bathrooms. The garden is not ready at all, yet, as I am working on getting a lap pool! If you like gardening... :-)
There is a nice large deck off the living area and huge terrasse on the 3rd level with great views. Actually, there are views from the small bedrooms, kitchen and living area as well as there is lots of glass and we sit on top of a ridge = great for afternoon breezes.

It is possible to get around by bus, but quality of life requires car / roller etc. If you intend to spend a lot of time in the city, this would NOT be a good location for you. For access to MT-Cootha forest running and MTB tracks it is great. Getting to the gorgeous 3-fingers route for road bike is also easy.

I am flexible with moving out on very short notice if you find something more suitable in between. There are potentially two rooms available, both with ensuite.

1 large room with queen size bed, office table and large ensuite.
1 small room with double size bed, small office table and small ensuite.

Perfect for people just moving to Brisbane and requiring a base to find their permanent home.
We got cleaners coming in once a week and two dishwashers ensure that the kitchen is never cluttered.

The house is still a bit of a renovation project in parts (driveway, carport, pool NOT ready, yet).

About the occupants
Hi, I work at University, love cycling (MTB trails and great road riding close-by), gym and are laid back social. I would like to become a runner as well, but did not make any progress in this direction ... so if you are sporty that would help me to get my a.. off the couch more often.
I don't smoke and drink only socially (seldom and little). No smoking, drugs and wild parties welcomed ... stress free is #1 priority and I am open to rent negotiation if I think the fit is well.
I am living fairly spontaneously, which makes joined meals (apart from breakfast) tricky... however, if we are hungry at the same time, I am more than happy to share / join in meals. In my experience the mood in the house is better if flatmates do not run straight to their rooms and hide there 95% of the time. Some socialising and chatting is welcomed and expected. The house has a vast living area with great views to MT. Cootha which is great for socialising and/or work from home.

Also living in the house is a relaxed male 30ish Phd student. Everyone works full-time and, so the house gets quite pretty early in the evenings.

It would be great to maintain a healthy mix of "mature" females and males in the house.
"Mature" is not defined by age but rather mind-set. The best is to "test" how well it suits you and me, so I am very open to short stays and have no problems with short notice periods.
Compatible people
In my experience good flatmates are happy to have a chat, treat the house like a home and not like a hostel; are considerate and thereby make a positive contribution to a happy and relaxed lifestyle.
