Home Description

Description of the home

The house is a spacious home in the quiet neighborhood of Fawkner. It is a lovely house with citrus trees in the backyard and graced with lots of 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 for walks there.

Our train is the Upfield line, Fawkner Station.

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

About occupants
Hello! I'm Chip, I’m from the US and have been in Australia almost 16 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 but work from home 3-4 days a week. On the weekends you will find me in my painting studio, making photos or in my room reading or out with Scout(the dog). 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, non-judgemental 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. You must like dogs. Scout is a really sweet dog and will follow you around looking for pats. She is an indoor/outdoor dog and can be put outside or in her cage if she is bothersome.
Description of pets
I have a 5-year old Bull Arab dog named Scout. She smells like a dog and sheds like a dog. I need to say again, you must like dogs not just put up with them!

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.
