The room fits a double or queen bed, bedside table, wardrobe and chest of drawers. It’s currently unfurnished but I can organise furniture for the right person.
The rest of the house is furnished and you’ll have access to this and use of my appliances - washing machine, fridge, kitchen appliances, tv etc.
The back carport area is used as a workshop space but is currently full of unfinished projects (my bad habit). If you’ll help me move some things around you’ll be able to use the workshop too :-)
Home Description
Description of the home
* Must be looking to move in and/or start paying rent from July 6 *
The place is an older, weatherboard house with two bedrooms and an office, a shared bathroom, combined lounge-dining, kitchen, laundry and second toilet. It has ducted gas heating, gas hot water, upright electric stove and air con in the lounge-dining area. I also have portable air conditioners and misting fans for cooling in summer.
The property is fenced giving the garden areas privacy from neighbours and passersby. The bedrooms have full-width sliding glass doors that open onto a covered verandah that wraps around the house.
There’s great access to public transport. The 86 tram stops at the end of the street on Plenty Rd. Numerous bus routes stop at La Trobe Uni, just a few minutes walk away on the other side of Plenty Rd.
Reservoir Station is a 10 minute trip on the 561 bus, which leaves frequently from a bus-stop just a couple of minutes walk away.
Supermarkets and a variety of other shops, services and eateries are a short walk away at the Polaris shopping precinct, and more a short tram ride or drive down Plenty Rd.
Bundoora Park is only two streets back if you ever need a dose of nature, although plenty of cockatoos and other birds come to us.

A little about me: I’m a youthful, active, 58 yo, creative lefty with a dry sense of humour and too many books. I’m not particularly introverted or extroverted - somewhere in the middle. I’m out of the career-and-parenting grind and now enjoying a less stressful life and more personal pursuits. I’m interested in art, nature, esoterica, off-beat films at indi cinemas, live music and a beer, and cosy late-night chats by a fire pit.
I’m mainly vegetarian (eat meat once a week) and eat healthy-ish (except when there’s chocolate involved). I’m a light drinker and non-smoker.
I’m mostly happy doing my own thing but love a good laugh and some intelligent conversation. I’m not wanting a passing ships in the night / strangers in a boarding house vibe. It’d be great if we had similar music taste. If not, there’s headphones.
I’m mainly vegetarian but it’s okay if you’re not. Moderate drinking is fine. Non-smoker preferred but if you do smoke it must be outside.
We’ll both be respectful of keeping shared spaces reasonably clean and tidy. It's okay if dishes sometimes get left till the next morning. We’ll share essentials - dishwashing liquid, loo paper etc but food shopping will be separate. We’ll share housework and garden maintenance.
You’re welcome to have friends around as long as it’s not a revolving door all day and night. Your boyfriend or girlfriend staying over a couple of nights a week should be fine, just discuss it with me first (and I’ll do the same for you).
You must be able to pay the rent on time every month so some income other than just benefits preferred.
Flatmate Preferences
- Outside okay
