Home Description

Description of the home

The house is a quirky, well-designed place with a lot of character. It’s been creatively renovated from an older home — with convict brick walls, polished concrete floors, rendered textures, and slate kitchen bench-tops. Definitely not your average rental.

It’s two stories with three bedrooms, a shared bathroom upstairs and a second toilet downstairs. There’s a spiral staircase between levels, so something to keep in mind if you have any mobility concerns.

The open-plan living area flows out to a covered outdoor space — great for a relaxed evening or a few mates over. The backyard’s got a tropical vibe with jasmine, big trees, a veggie patch, and a Balinese-style pagoda.

There’s good storage, a long driveway, and we’re just a short walk to shops, cafes, and everything you need.

About occupants
Hey! I’m Brenden and I'm 28. I work from home as a software engineer. I grew up on the Central Coast, went to uni in Newcastle, then spent a few years in Canberra before moving back here. My weekdays usually start with a bit of meditation and coffee (I'm a bit of a coffee nerd), then I settle into work. After hours, I like to hit the gym a few times a week, catch up with mates for a beer or a chat, or just relax with a good book or a movie.
Compatible people
I’m looking for someone who’s friendly, respectful, and easy to live with. If you’re clean, reliable with bills, and happy to do your bit around the house, we’ll get along just fine. I’m pretty relaxed and value a peaceful, drama-free home — whether you're social or more low-key, I’m cool with either as long as we’re both considerate. I think it’s nice to have a good vibe at home, where we can have a chat or share a meal now and then, but also respect each other’s space. Friends are always welcome too!
Description of pets
I have an 8 month-old tabby cat named Kiki — she’s sweet, affectionate, confident, and a bit cheeky in the best way. She’s mostly an indoor cat, though I occasionally let her explore the yard with supervision. She’s not shy around new people and will probably come to say hello pretty quickly. I take care of all her needs and like to keep her litter box clean, so no work needed on your end.
