Home Description

Description of the home

Gorgeous, spacious two bed apartment located a 4 minute walk from the new Waterloo metro station in Alexandria/Waterloo. Brand new small complex with a beautifully maintained communal rooftop + a communal garden. Central air, fan and heating, with tiled floors throughout so super easy to clean. Gym, shop and cafe all directly outside the building, and it is less than 10 minute walk to supermarkets and bars, with Redfern, Waterloo and Alexandria all being on the doorstep.

Really lovely building - it was a brand new build in 2020 all the occupants moved in one by one during COVID and many of us are now friends - we do BBQs and drinks on the communal roof regularly. Decent sized storage cage in the basement + a car space is all yours if you want it! Easy landlord - we have only had one $50 rent increase in 5 years.

I am currently in the smaller non-ensuite bedroom paying $400 - I am happy to swap to the bigger room and pay $450 but be warned that my room has almost no storage.

About occupants
I'm Owen, 35 year old gay guy, been living in this apartment for over 5 years. Irish but lived here 9 years, working in healthcare recruitment in a largely office-based role. I am very social so I'm out and about a lot. I love to cook, exercise, chat but also need days to switch off my batteries and chill - I swing between quiet weekends doing chores, swimming etc and big weekends where I've got plans every day.

In terms of my interests, I love going to concerts (mix of alternative music, pop and electronic/house music), going to the theatre, going to comedy shows, going for hikes/coastal walks/swims, going to galleries. I used to love clubbing but I'm a bit out of that life now - I dip a toe in once a month or so. I also love a weekend doing nothing but reading and watching TV and movies. I watch a bit of everything - moody Scandinavian dramas to trashy reality television and everything in between.

Looking for a long-term housemate!
Compatible people
The ideal housemate will want to hang out a couple of nights a week but other than that they've got their own life. While I'm super social, I don't really host people that often - a calmer home space is better these days. I love to host a drinks or a dinner party every now and again though and you are welcome to do the same! I've been blessed to live with people who become my very good friends, so I'd like that to be the ultimate goal.

Someone who is laid back but responsible is also key! Living together requires compromise and mutual respect and my goal is to make sure you are comfortable living in the space. Happy to change/swap any furniture in the communal spaces as well
