Home Description

Description of the home

This spacious split-level townhouse is located in a quiet cul-de-sac with a 24hr petrol station and the local grocer right at the end of the street! The bus is even closer, with services heading to Belconnen and Canberra Airport right nearby.
The house is right at the front of a private complex, which has gardeners and body corporate looking after the communal areas.

I have been sharing this place with the owner for the last two years and now a change of circumstances has resulted in him offering me a full lease on the house as he moves into a new property on the south side of town.

There is lots of furniture being unpacked (the photos are current and will be updated daily.) the back deck is nice and private, providing a sheltered space to entertain guests, and the kitchen is well-equipped for any budding hobby chef!

Not only are there two bathrooms upstairs, but a guest toilet is located through the laundry on the ground floor.

About the occupants
Hey, I'm Ged. I live and breathe fitness, being at the top of the "hobby athlete" in weightlifting, running a weightlifting club and a personal training business. Due to having such a customer-centric career, I prefer quieter activities in my personal life - having a couple of friends over to watch the footy, have a D&D night, or going out to see a movie. Occasionally I like to go out for social events like catching a Raiders home game, host an occasional inter-club weightlifting session, or something alongside other staff from Club Lime.

With me is Emma - another fitness enthusiast and working in the industry. She is mid-40’s, and generally out early mornings. Occasionally her kids pay a visit and they do dinner together downstairs, but mostly enjoys her space to quietly watch television while doomscrolling Instagram.
Compatible people
Keeps things tidy: They don’t need to be perfect, but they should help with rubbish, keeping the counters tidy, and loading/unloading the dishwasher so the cleaner can do a big clean once a month.

Likes to talk: They should be friendly but also respect personal space.

Doesn’t use drugs: I’m involved in tested sports and prefer to stay away from drug use.

Shift worker friendly household, as well as part-time student. Longer leases preferred.
Description of pets
This is currently a placeholder. My housemate does not like cats, but is happy for me to get one once he moves out. I will be looking at the RSPCA and shelters for a sociable one or a kitten I can socialise myself.
