Home Description

Description of the home

Looking for a peaceful, considerate housemate to share a lovely, light-filled apartment in Maribyrnong.
I’m a respectful, independent, and easygoing female in my mid-50s who enjoys a calm home environment. I work part-time and spend time outside the home with friends, with a community group, or in quiet activities like meditation and yoga. i like to keep fit and healthy and value kindness, open communication, and a tidy shared space.

Looking for:
* Someone clean, reliable, and good at communicating
* Preferably working or studying, with a stable routine
* Ideally someone who enjoys a peaceful and respectful household
* Women preferred, and age range roughly 35+
* Sorry, no couples or pets.

My amazing housemate who is from the Philippines (and in her mid 20's) is moving out to live with her partner. Otherwise we have enjoyed a peaceful, drama free sharing arrangement. As we both work in customer service and need down time we have coordinated the kitchen and downstairs area so that only one person (and/or their guests) use it at a time. It works incredibly well and has resulted in a very happy, stress free living arrangement. The culture of the house would suit someone who is more introverted and values down time in their room, whilst enjoying private time in the downstairs area.
There is also a elderly cat who lives in a catio on the balcony.
(please note some of the photos are from the property unoccupied but provided to show the living space)
A tram stop is a few meters from the apartment and Highpoint shopping centre is a five minute walk down the road.
If this sounds like a good fit, I’d love to hear a little about you and your lifestyle. Let’s chat and see if we’re a match!

About occupants
Hi, I'm Karen, have worked as a professional, but now work part-time in a retail job that I love. My interests include meditation, yoga, bike riding and table tennis. I enjoy cooking but also love the cafe and restaurants of our local area. I have more than 10 years house sharing experience with people from many different cultural backgrounds.

The home culture offers a relaxed, friendly and considerate environment with respect for personal space. This is a quiet and happy home where privacy and sleeping times are respected.
