Home Description

Description of the home

**Photos are from when I last had this listed, ~5 years ago. Not much has changed since then.**

The house is a great size – 2 large lounge areas, large kitchen (with dishwasher) and adjoining dining area, plus a large outdoor entertaining area. Everything is well decked-out, (the 2nd living area is completely empty for you to have to yourself and furnish as you like). Split-system cooling/heating, remote garage and fast NBN.

Located in a very quiet part of Berwick. House overlooks parkland, with easy access to the Monash Freeway, and a 3-minute drive (15 minute stroll) to Parkhill Plaza (Coles and other small shops/cafes/takeaway) or a 7 minute drive to Fountain Gate. Heaps of nice places to walk (the 1,001 steps are a 10 minute walk away). House is managed through an estate agent (they're good), and I have contact with the actual owners who are great and very easy-going.

The garden is large (though fairly low maintenance) – and I enjoy doing all the upkeep (I'm a green thumb).

About occupants
Hey, I'm Matt – a 41yo self-employed Graphic Designer, working from home full-time. I'm also an RPM (cycle class) instructor, with 3 classes per week. I'm friendly and up for a chat, and respectful of other peoples space. But I'm also on the introvert side – so also absolutely fine with my own company.

I usually do Lite'n'Easy during the week for the convenience, but I'm not fanatical about eating healthy (far from it) – I love cooking and baking. Happy to share the occasional meal and go with the flow.

I'm fit and active – RPM, cycling (road and mountain bike), walking and hiking – love getting out and about. In other spare time I get out for drives, spending time with my Partner of 8 years (he doesn't live here, but usually stays over once a fortnight), catching up with friends for meals/coffee, and pottering around the house/garden. I'm tidy, but definitely not a clean freak.

Bonus if you're into board/card games!
Compatible people
It'd be great if you were reliable, and conscious of others, friendly, outgoing and happy for a chat and drink to unwind now and then. The set-up of the house is great – we each have our own lounge, so you can mix and socialise as much or as little as we like.
Description of pets
I have a 9yo cat named Charlie. He's generally very calm and sedate, with bursts of energy now and then. He's no bother – isn't too in-your face or vocal and he's easy to get along with. Charlie is an indoor-only cat.
