Home Description

Description of the home

We have one very large bedroom (16sqm) available in a spacious (600sqm) and comfortable Thornbury house. NB - we recently had our first rent increase in over 6 years, so it's not going to go up for a few more. Good time to get in!

Please get in touch and Andy will arrange a meeting however you're comfortable doing it - via Zoom, phone, other online medium or in person.

There is a spacious block-front house on offer in Thornbury, right next to Northcote. The bedroom on offer is large (4.3m X 3.7m) with good natural light, in a large house plus huge garden, with immediate access to Melbourne's bike network and public transport round the corner (11+86 trams, Mernda train line all a few mins' walk away). Onsite parking as well as nearby free street parking available. Hana, Katie and Andy are experienced house-sharers so we know the drill in terms of how to share a space, respecting boundaries while being friendly and comfortable.

Surrounds include a 30 second walk to High st with its cafes, brunch joints, markets and social life, but you wouldn't even know it given how little noise comes through. Psarakos markets, Northcote plaza, ALDI and FoodWorks make up some of the nearby grocery options, all walking distance. The Thorbury local, Wesley Anne and Bar 303 make up some diverse nearby music venues if that's what keeps you going.

About occupants
Hi my name's Andy (he/him), 35, and I work full-time for the public service. I'm quite easy going, enjoy a few hobbies (e.g. music - particularly my local choirs, visual art, films, bike riding) and do a bit of volunteering outside of working. I often work later hours but enjoy an evening in with housemates when I get the chance. I've lived in several share houses in my life so I know the drill and how to share a living space with other people.

Hana, (26yo, she/ her)
Studies nursing, works part time in retail. An active hobbyist, knitting and art mostly!

Katie (30yo, she/her)
I work in media and production, am a big fan of exploring new places, going to the beach, hiking, supporting my friends’ sports teams, and just generally getting involved in all the fun stuff happening around Melbourne!
Compatible people
Looking for a easy going people who have hopefully had a bit of share house experience before. Employed OR with reliable income is important, and ready to contribute to the basic shared household tasks.

We are not obsessive about tidiness but do like to keep things in a reasonable state of cleanliness. This is a queer friendly house.

We are looking to maintain a friendly and relaxed vibe, so if you're someone who is looking for a comfortable home rather than just a place to store things and sleep, would like to hear from you!

If you're keen, drop me a message. A few lines about yourself, what you're ideally looking for and what you do work/hobby wise would be great. Looking forward to meeting you!
