Details
This is a lease takeover opportunity for a well-maintained townhouse in Preston. The tenancy has been stable for over 13 years, with the lease renewed annually.

The downstairs bedroom is currently under repair due to a previous water leak and mould issue, with works expected to be completed between 18–20 May. Once completed, the room will be clean, functional, and ready to move in.

The home also includes a spacious master bedroom upstairs (currently occupied by myself until my move-out date), along with an additional upstairs room that can be used flexibly depending on your needs.

All rooms have good natural light and a practical layout, suitable for a comfortable and relaxed living setup.

An additional upstairs room may be available for use as a study or storage, by arrangement.

After my move-out, the master bedroom will become available, and the overall room arrangement can be discussed depending on your preference.

Bond is $1994 and will be transferred as part of the lease takeover process, with final details confirmed through the real estate agent.

Home Description

Description of the home

This is a lease takeover opportunity for a well-maintained two-storey townhouse in Preston. The tenancy has been stable for over 13 years, with the lease renewed annually.

The home is located in a quiet and convenient area and offers a comfortable, practical layout, ideal for professionals seeking a relaxed and tidy living environment.

Downstairs features a spacious living area, a functional kitchen with plenty of storage, and a dining space that opens up to a private outdoor area. The home gets good natural light throughout the day and has a warm, homely feel.

The lounge area is currently unfurnished, giving you the opportunity to set it up to your own style and preferences. You are welcome to bring your own furniture such as a couch or dining table.

There is a bathroom, laundry facilities, and easy street parking available.

The location is a major highlight — Preston Station is just a 4-minute walk, Preston Market (open Wednesday to Sunday) is 7 minutes away, and Woolworths is about an 8-minute walk. Tram 11 is also accessible within a 10-minute walk, making commuting very convenient.

Please note: One of the downstairs areas is currently under repair due to a previous water leak which caused some mould. Repairs are scheduled to be completed between 18–20 May.

The new tenant(s) will initially be sharing the home, as I am currently staying in the upstairs master bedroom while preparing to move out. My planned move-out date is by 28 June 2026, after which the property will be fully available.

Garage parking is available for 2 cars (currently 1 space in use, 1 available).

Optional items can be included if needed, such as a washing machine, microwave, toaster oven, and a lawn mower.

The landlord has been responsive and supportive with maintenance when required.

Private inspections are available and can be arranged flexibly around the current repair schedule.

About occupants
Hi, I’m Tomoko, a registered nurse working in Melbourne.

I currently work as a shift worker, although I will be finishing up soon as I prepare to move out. At home, I value a calm, clean, and relaxed environment. I’m considerate of shared spaces and appreciate open and respectful communication.

I enjoy keeping the home tidy, cooking, and having quiet downtime to recharge. It’s not a party house — I prefer a peaceful atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable.

I’ll be staying in the upstairs master bedroom temporarily and plan to move out by 28 June 2026.
