Home Description

Description of the home

The house is a spacious home in a quiet neighborhood of Fawkner. It is a lovely house with citrus trees in the backyard and graced with neighborhood birds. There are multiple shopping strips just a few blocks away with grocery stores, restaurants and cafes.

We are also a 10min walk to the beautiful Merri Creek trail where there are miles of walking and cycling track with fresh air and open space. I take my dog Scout for walks there everyday.

Our train is the Upfield line, Fawkner Station.

Buses that stop in Fawkner: 527, 530, 536, 902

About the occupants
Hello! I'm Chip, I’m from the US and have been in Australia 14 years. I am a communicative housemate, considerate, open, compassionate and thoughtful. I have traveled a bit having lived/worked/studied in Europe, Asia, Africa and the US. I'm an artist(painting/photography) and work full time. My work hours are 9-5pm at the moment. When I am home you will find me in my painting studio, making photos or in my room reading. I get out to see live music, art galleries and museums and I like going out of town for hikes in the bush. I am back in Melbourne after a few years in West Africa. I am happy to be quiet at home and enjoy the summer weather!
Compatible people
I like to keep a clean, respectful, open, drama free living environment. I tend to be pretty quiet at home and would value quiet, respectful housemates. Looking for housemates that click for a long term stay if possible. I am good for a chat, and I like to have a glass of wine or a drink with dinner in the evenings but generally, I am often in my studio painting or in my bedroom reading. There is plenty of space for gardening and hanging outside when it is nice.

You must be LGBTQ+ friendly and be drama free. Be willing to help with chores without being prompted. Be a good person. Be nice. The house is 420 friendly. Must enjoy big dogs. Scout is a sweet dog but can get rambunctious at times.
Description of pets
I have a rambunctious 5 year old Bull Arab dog named Scout. Another animal is a possibility if they fit in with Scout.

When I’m home Scout is with me and can be put in her cage or in my room anytime she is bothersome. I don’t expect everyone to have to put up with her high jinx like I do.
