Description of the home
One of 14 flats. A PT user's dream with Dennis Station (on the Hurstbridge line) at the end of the street. 250 and 251 bus stop at the other end of the street. 15 minute walk to Westgarth (or catch the train one stop) for an 86 tram stop, Terra Madre organic supermarket, and the Palace Cinema Westgarth.
15 minute walk (or catch the train one stop) to Fairfield in the other direction for IGA and other shops and restaurants
Quiet neighbourhood, and quiet friendly neighbours. The block was built when they used double brick walls which means I rarely hear my neighbours unless they are chatting to each other outside. Newly installed split system air con in the living area (a godsend in summer!) A set of two Coles supermarkets (yes I know...bad luck if you prefer Woollies!) at Northcote Plaza, a 10 minute drive or a 30 minute walk.
On the not so plus side I live in an old, rather neglected, (by the previous owners) building
However, everything works and Northcote is perfect for inner city suburb living not to mention access to PT so I love living in this location. The rent increased dramatically not so long ago which meant I have had to look for friendly warm-hearted people to help me out with rent. That is why you are reading this post ;-)

One of the reasons I love living at this location is the convenient access to the city as I am more of a city boy than a country boy. I love to see any kind of live performance when I can afford the tix, also access the IMAX cinema for blockbusters and the Palace Cinema in Westgarth for indie films. I am a bit of a wannabe film maker and composer and do some composing on Logic Pro. My dream is to go viral on Youtube but my voice is crap. Big plus if you can sing and help me out ;-)
Helping others is my raison d'etre so I do voluntary work when I have time and energy. On a government aged pension but also have a part time job as admin officer with a non-for-profit organization supporting young people transition from school to work.
A bit sound sensitive so a heads-up that I prefer silence to background noise or music (emphasis on 'background')
However, due to unfortunately experiences with previous flatmates I have to stress:
Must understand the importance of cleaning up after themselves when they cook rather than leave it until the next day (I know it does not always come naturally but I promise to do the same ;-) )
Must pay rent on time. I ask that your share is paid on the first of the month.
