Home Description

Description of the home

A midsize, comfortable 4 bedroom house in Birmingham Gardens, with a large backyard. The large lounge room features a TV with PS4, comfy lounges, air conditioning and a fireplace for winter, and an air conditioned sun room / spare bedroom provides a smaller shared space. The kitchen is old, but well appointed with stainless bench tops, a dishwasher and a large fridge and freezer. We share one bathroom, which along with the hallways and laundry has been repainted and lightly renovated.

The back yard features enough room for a large party, as well as a small but expanding veggie garden. The garage is currently used as a storage space as well as parking for pushbikes and motorcycles, and the driveway provides enough off street room to park three cars. The house is also located within ten minutes walk of the University of Newcastle and Stockland Jesmond, and have a bus stop down the road.

About the occupants
Hi, I'm David, I'm 31 and currently am studying Engineering at Newcastle Uni. When not at uni, I spend time computer gaming, rock climbing, occasionally at the gym, or at home relaxing. I am a passionate home brewer, and share this passion with Mitch, the other tenant. I am well known for being too tight with money to go to the pub on a regular basis, but I do enjoy hosting friends at home.

Mitch - Mitch is 29, works as a lawyer in town, and is the reason we have a veggie patch. He shares my interest in home brewing, and can often be found either fishing, enjoying a few drinks, or both in his spare time.
Compatible people
We are looking for a friendly, considerate and reasonably tidy housemate, up for socialising and a few drinks or a group dinner with the rest of the house. Experience living in share housing is a bonus, as is a relaxed attitude. Our location is ideal for students at Newcastle Uni (Callaghan), though we would also welcome a full time worker.
