Home Description

Description of the home

This well-kept property lies in close proximity to Belconnen town centre and shopping mall. The nearest shops are located in Evatt, consisting of an IGA, chemist, coffee shop, beautician, post office/ news agent, fish & chipery and a great burger/ bar. It's 8 mins drive to Westfield Belconnen and only 6 mins to Kaleen Shops and Coles.
UC is 6 mins drive (via public transport it is less than 25 mins) and ANU is 15 mins by car.

There is public transport at the end of the street that goes to Belconnen interchange. The nearest bus stop is Owen Dixon drive after Heydon Cres. The bus stop is number 4116, on the bus route 41.

https://goo.gl/maps/7AYBYj98sT7ogNNw9 I think there is another bus that goes past the Evatt shops too ?

The room on offer is a good workable size, at the rear of the premises on a quiet street. This room displays a pleasant leafy sunny aspect of a big garden from the bedroom window. There is also an electric roller blind to block out light if desired.

Our house is fully furnished with dishwasher, washing machine etc. However, the rooms are unfurnished with no built-ins. But some furniture can be provided if needed.

There are three common areas, a U-shaped sitting room, eating area and fully equipped kitchen with two fridges. A leafy alfresco outdoor space and a large rear garden which is ready for summer entertaining.

Parking is off street with two driveways. Additional storage is provided if needed in the garage.

Would prefer single, mature individual, who is well travelled with happy disposition.

About occupants
I work part time for a charity and study Community Services. I do like to chill out after work and end up in bed soon after dinner. I'm not into late night party's those days are over. I could be persuaded to hold a dinner, as I love to cook. I have a creative streak and occasionally pander to it by painting, watching foreign films and listening to new music. I find gardening very therapeutic, however now I have far too many pot plants! LOL. The photo of me was taken by my niece (age 4) who is a budding photographer. I think she was really taking a photo of her toy dog Rainbow : ).

I am pretty self reliant and generally do my own thing. I do like to say hello and don't want to live in a house where nobody talks to each other. I try to keep communication open, by holding quick house meetings if we need to run through anything to do with bills and cleaning.
My housemate is 23 year old easygoing guy who is into cooking, gaming, gym and works in security. We are looking for someone who is happy to live in a group house and share the responsibilities.
Compatible people
We would like someone who is happy to live in a share house where kindness and decency is the norm.
Are you a tidy person who doesn't mind cleaning the common areas when it's your turn? Are you a good communicator? Happy to have a chat with your housemates on the odd occasion? I am only looking for one occupant for the room, couples need not apply. Thank you : )
