🌿 Room Available in Our Unique Kensington Sharehouse – $280/week

Hey there!

Our wonderful housemate Ursula is moving on, which means we’ll soon have a room available in our bright, light-filled Kensington home starting in October. Below we’ve shared a bit about the space and the household. If it feels like the right fit for you, we’d love to hear a little about yourself—and we’ll be in touch to arrange a meet-up.

🏡 About the House
We live in a spacious two-story Federation-style weatherboard house perched on a hill in Kensington, offering a beautiful view of the city skyline and Melbourne’s docks. The house features a lush tropical garden that opens directly from the lounge through French doors, creating a peaceful inner-city oasis.

Highlights:
•     3 bedrooms
•     2 bathrooms (upstairs & downstairs)
•     Large kitchen, lounge/library area
•     Covered wooden deck
•     Central heating + upstairs fan/aircon
•     Washing machine & dryer in laundry nook
•     Eclectic, bohemian-style furnishings (think cozy, not cluttered)
•     Quirky design details like mosaic tiling and sponged-painted rooms

We’re just a short stroll from Bellair Street shops and a larger supermarket in North Melbourne. Public transport is excellent, with four train stations nearby:
•     Kensington (Craigieburn line)
•     Macaulay (Upfield line)
•     South Kensington (Sunbury line)
•     Arden Street (Cranbourne line)
For cyclists, we’re just 500m from the Capital City Trail—a 15-minute ride into the city or Brunswick.

🌞 The Room
A bright, small-to-medium room with a large window that fills it with natural light. It has a built-in desk, making it ideal for anyone working or studying from home.

👥 About Us
We’re a relaxed, progressive, environmentally conscious household in our thirties and forties with shared interests in:
•     Books, art, live music and movies
•     Mainly Plant Based Cooking - Veg
•     Politics, cycling, and community
•     Gardening, and occasional quiet hangs with wine or a beer

Ben is an app developer with a creative streak, blending his artistic background with his work. He mostly works from home and has a soft spot for libraries, live music, and cooking.

Aaron is an artist and former studio animator who thrives on discovering Melbourne’s cultural and culinary underground. He also has a side gig at a high-end bakery, making him the household’s dependable pastry hookup.
