It’s a really lovely room and would suit someone that doesn’t have a lot of furniture to fit in (but that being said we have ample storage space in the shed that can be used).
Note: the room is adjacent to the bathroom so if someone is showering you have some noise from the water and exhaust fan but nothing too major and we avoid these things late at night as much as possible.
We have just had someone move out so the room is free now and ideally we’re looking for someone that has similar values in the home being a peaceful place. We want someone that is able to contribute to some chores with shared spaces, tidies up after themselves and is respectful to this lovely house. Also must be comfortable with the dogs, they’re older and not too bothersome, just some excitement around meal times or when Em gets home!
While we love a catch up/dinner every now and then with each other we are happy with someone that may be a bit busier and on the move, as long as we all feel comfortable around each other. Clear communication is very important to us to avoid any dramas and make sure we all feel at home.
Home Description
Description of the home
We are located super close to Coburg station (7min walk) and Moreland Station (15min walk) as well as the bike trail, Sydney Rd, the #19 tram and big supermarkets as well as Coburg market and the best falafels in the north! It’s a very peaceful, quiet street with a little park nearby and a nice neighborhood vibe.
The house itself is very lovely and welcoming! It’s an older gem but with the insides done up to be more functional but still having the beautiful stained glass and fireplaces!
There is a big backyard with a workshop and a shed for storage and plenty of room for sunny day activities and just feeling like we have a grassy space away from the busy world that’s peaceful and restorative.
The kitchen is very much the heart of the home but the whole space in general has a very welcoming energy (we felt it from day one of moving in and it’s only gotten better!), we’ve filled it with plants and artwork and lots of cute memories but it’s got potential for so much more.
There are two whippets that live here too and they are sweet older doggies who love their people and alllll the cuddles.
Unfortunately the younger one is a reactive to other furry friends so we can’t have any additional pets.
As for the humans we are two very good friends who work from home 3 days a week (both have office spaces in our rooms). We love the homely vibe we have going and we are both village minded and love having people into our space to share the love, food and what not. We love having dinners and unplanned late night existential deep chats at the kitchen bench, starting random rituals together and dreaming big on creative projects and then doing spicy brain distractions and moving on to something else!
While we love coming together as a household we also do well on our own and taking our own space. We’re not big loud party people (or if we are every now and then we head out to do it and save the home for more peaceful and relaxed things). We’d love someone that is keen to hang out and have a bit of a bond grow if the personalities are right, being comfortable in the home is a priority we always want for anyone we have over, as well as ourselves so we aren’t looking for someone that is a stranger, we want to open our doors to a cute fun little opportunity to grow a housematey friendship (but also retreat and recuperate and enjoy our own spaces!). Queer and spicy brains, animal lovers, creative minds, positive silly billies that love deep talk and being real!

Em in a nutshell: I am a late recruit to the adhd club, vegan, creative, nature loving thing and food is my love language and I value keeping active and healthy in my own ways.
I work from home 2-3 days a week for an online uni and I’ve definitely become more of an early riser and early to bed person this year! Home is always my sanctuary and the kitchen is the heart and it’s super important to us that people feel welcome and comfy when they step inside. When I’m not working I may be out doing some socials, cycling, running, movies, in nature etc or I’m home doing the cosy grounding things like hanging with John and Annie and the dogs, cooking, reading and recharging.
John in a walnut shell: lover of food, fitness and deep talks. Verified yapper (so Annie says!) I also love to listen (doing a Diploma in Counselling); holding a safe space and being open and honest is important to us when communicating. I love a good boogie and attend music events here and there. I’m 2 days in the office, and the rest I work at home.
Annie is a mini-version of John, who loves to cook and bake, so coming home to a warm, sweet smelling kitchen is the norm. She loves to travel so feel free to chat about destinations and the like.
Our kitchen is the warmest place in the home, with Emma and Annie loving cooking (and John loving eating!), if we cross paths in our days then it’s a space for chats or just zoning out and doing our own thing!
