Kingston

Description of the home

Beautiful cottage in Kingston - period charm with modern conveniences (gas cooking, central heating + fireplace and north facing sunny deck!).

The available bedroom is unfurnished. The housemate who is moving out had most of the furniture/utensils, so someone with a couch, TV and other items would be looked upon favourably! Otherwise we'll be making some trips to the Green Shed and the like.

There is a large living room with working fireplace, separate kitchen with dishwasher, modern electric oven with gas stovetop (as well as working Aga - wood fired pizzas are a treat! apparently... admittedly we haven't confirmed this).

There's one bathroom with bath and very high powered shower head; separate toilet. Also a separate (and massive) laundry with washer and dryer.

Ducted heating is perfect to get through the Canberra winter and air conditioning for the summer ... although we rarely use the A/C.

Huge backyard is great for lazy garden-parties; there is a deck which turns into a great extra room during summer, fig and apple trees, as well as veggie patches and a garage for any extra storage.

The house is a short stroll to Kingston shops (5 minutes from a great IGA, several restaurants, Muse, Penny University....) and the foreshore (more brunch spots including Local Press and so many restaurants you'll never *need* to cook). It is directly across the road from large park & oval and within easy walking distance to the parliamentary triangle (less than 20 minutes walk) though there are also easily accessible major bus routes nearby.

There's a long driveway and garage for off-street parking and 24h street parking as well.

We split the electricity, water, gas and internet bills. Some other communal expenses are shared too but we pay for food and our own other expenses ourselves.
