Home Description
Description of the home
This is a warm, inviting, homey two bedroom terrace close to everything! The kitchen dining is separate to the living room which gives a bit more space. As well there is a verandah out the front, and a rear courtyard with a BBQ, and garden. The place is furnished outside of the the bedroom. I try to lower enviro-impacts by growing veggies, having a worm farm, recycling well, paying for Green Power, etc.
This is a hospitable place with a bit of a tradition of hosting the odd barbie, getting folk around for Eurovision, and the occasional dinner. It also has to feel like home and a place to recharge for me and whoever lives here - so it is important to get the balance right. For this place to be a good match for you, you will need to be interested in being a part of, and contributing to making a homey, hospitable vibe, a shared pantry and more eco-living (worm-farm, veggie patch, recycling, etc.), an definitely not a hide-in-your-room with a laptop type.
House stuff:
- Gas cooktop / oven / heater / Green Power / hot water - which is economical.
- Apple TV / PVR / stereo / DSL internet
- Garden shed, BBQ, brazier, and outdoor dining furniture at rear
- on-street parking permit available from council
Close to almost everything including supermarket, public transport and supermarkets: 100m Collingwood Trains Stn, 1 block park, 3 blocks to bus and trams at the end of the street. 35min walk to the city, and under 15min to Smith St. At the end of the street there is also about 70 viet restaurants. The Abbotsford Convent is short walk with it restaurants and cafes too.

Please have an activ-ish life that gets you out of the house a little during the week and weekends. I normally work office hours, and have a life … which means I am often out several nights a week, and the odd weekend away. Couples, students and night-shift workers aren’t a good fit.
If this place sounds a good fit for you - please ping me a msg and introduce yourself. We can line up a phone chat after that and feel each other out.
