Other information
Quite a large room, with a west-facing window that is fitted with flywire to allow for breezes when needed. Room enough for a king-sized bed and a desk, in addition to the wardrobe and chest of drawers that are included. Quite cool all year round, though there is a wall-mounted heater for the winter.
House is on NBN with wifi, good signal strength to the bedroom.
Easy access to the shared master bathroom and kitchen just outside.
A spare room at the front of the house that would suit a home office or the like.

Home Description

Description of the home

A classical 50's-style house, extensively renovated, with pine flooring in every room, central heating (though the high ceilings and thick walls make for a comfortable temperature year-round) and large living spaces. Fully furnished, apart from bedroom furniture, with comfortable chairs in the loungeroom and a well-equipped dining room and kitchen. 2 bathrooms, one with a bathtub and one without.

The backyard is very large, with ample room for a garden or entertaining.

5 minutes walk to the Yarraville village and the train station, 20 minutes walk into central Footscray, and only 20 minutes train ride to the city.

Bills and expenses

About occupants
Hi, I'm Marcus. I'm 42 and work as a teacher and work as a bookbinder and craftsman in my off-hours. I'm generally working during the day and making things, reading or cooking in the evenings.
I'm generally pretty chill, and I'm always up for a good, free-ranging conversation on pretty much whatever topic happens to arise.
Compatible people
I'm looking for friendly and easy-going types who like to keep things chill and tidy. Communication is really important (heading off potential drama before it can become actual drama!), and being able to start and maintain a conversation is likewise.
