Description of the home
Two-story townhouse with ground floor entrance right onto Balfe Park. The building is only three years old and is impressively designed, with polished concrete and hardwood floors, marble benchtops, a red brick feature areas. Kitchen includes fantastic smeg appliances and a generous built in fridge/freezer, and both floors have ducted heating. A small courtyard at the rear gets morning sun.
The whole house is fully furnished (as pictured) except for the bedroom which is empty (picture shows it with a bed and bedside tables for reference).
Building amenities include a rooftop BBQ area with city views, and a shared hub/workspace with lounge area, tables, and a kitchenette. The apartment comes with a carspace that I don't use so is available for you.
Couldn't ask for a better location! Brunswick East Village is at the end of the driveway (Coles, bottleshop, pharmacy, cinema, restaurants, gym, etc), and the 96 tram is right out front - only a 22 minute ride into the CBD. A short walk to the heart of Lygon Street, and bit more of a stroll to Sydney Road and Barkly Square shopping centre. And of course, Balfe Park is right on the doorstep (literally).

I'm quite a social person with many friends, but also appreciate a lot of quiet downtime at home. When I'm out I like to see a lot of live performance (theatre, dance, circus, comedy, musicals), try different restaurants and bars, and go out for a late night dance. At home I'm a casual video gamer, read (mostly fantasy), maintain the garden, and occasionally have a wine while playing Florence and the Machine at a respectably loud volume. My current special interest is tea, and so I have a lot of it (you're welcome to try!). I ride a motorbike with occasional road trips out of the city, and a pretty big world traveller, and try to get overseas 1-2 times a year.
Keeping the house clean and clutter free is a priority, but I'm totally fine with some dishes not being done or a bench not wiped when we're feeling lazy, as long as it's done eventually.
Good and ongoing communication and trust is important, especially around shared areas and making sure each of us is comfortable in the house.
