Home Description

Description of the home

Greetings potential housemate!

You’re going to love it at our place. We like to strike a balance between having our own space and interacting with the housemates. We enjoy doing fun house events like board game nights, bowling, (and are up for any other suggestions of fun things!). We also have a monthly house dinner.

There’s a big open plan living space with the kitchen, dining and lounge room. A separate second living area means there’s plenty of space for everyone. We have a bathroom with a bath and shower and a separate toilet.

The kitchen is fully equipped and decked out with a food processor, nutra bullet and multi-cooker. We have all the pots, pans, cutlery and crockery you could ever need, so we aren’t looking for an housemate with too much kitchen stuff. Included is a brand new Bosch dishwasher. We have two fridge/freezers so you’ll have half of one all to yourself. You’ll have your own shelf in the pantry, too.

The laundry has a brand new LG washing machine as well as a large sink and worktop.

We are slowly expanding our home gym - we’ve got a chin up bar, bands, mats, foam rollers and looking to deck it out with a few more bits and bobs.

There is a front and back lawn, which is maintained by AJ and Meg (no mowing required by you!). A nice garden bed including a thriving mint plant out the back (mojitos, anyone?), and a rhubarb plant for some delicious rhubarb crumbles.

Internet is great all throughout the house, we’ve got 3 Google Nest devices that ensure the signal is strong in all rooms (the nests also double as speakers).

We’ve got two beautiful dogs, one 13 year old Kelpie X (Jazz) and a 3 year old Labradoodle (Gin) (so we aren’t looking for any more pets to join us). Jazz keeps to herself most of the time and Gin loves a pat or cuddle!

There’s evaporative cooling throughout the house to keep you cool in our long Melbourne summers.

150m from the Ferny Creek Trail which is great for walking, running or bike riding.
2kms from the Mountain Gate shopping complex.
4kms from Ferntree Gully train station.
4.5kms from the base

Bills and expenses

We also have a cleaner (not included in rent, an extra $20 per week) that comes once per week to ensure the place is kept looking fantastic - gone are the days of passive aggressive texts about a chores roster. She cleans the main areas (kitchen, bathroom, floors) but everyone is required to do their own dishes and tidy up after themselves.

All other bills are included in rent (electricity, gas, water and internet)

About occupants
We’re AJ and Meg! When we’re not at work, you’ll find us going for a run or a hike with our dogs, or hitting the gym. We also enjoy travelling around in our van and socialising with friends.

AJ is from England and has lived in multiple countries, before settling in Australia 11 years ago (he loves the nature it has to offer!)
Meg is from Melbourne and has lived around the Eastern suburbs for the last 6 years. She loves cracking jokes and having a bit of fun.

We’d consider ourselves pretty chill and easy going people.

Then we have Aram, he works in logistics. Likes hanging out and always up for a chat - if he’s not busy hitting the gym or working hard.
Compatible people
Someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously, is up for a laugh but also respects down time and their own space. We like to live in a clean house where everyone pitches in and works together to keep it looking great!
