Home Description

Description of the home

Gorgeous light, bright and well-sized renovated terrace with all mod-cons just waiting for you to move in.
There is a beautiful, plant-filled courtyard (with space for one car) for morning cuppas and Alexandria Park is just down the road.
There's room for you to bring some furniture and goods to put your stamp on the place if you want or equally you can just bring your bed. There's good storage space including a backyard shed.

What a location! Brunch is covered with Meet Gerard, a local favourite, within stumbling distance, Bread and Circus less than 10 minutes walk or Instagram superstar Grounds of Alexandria just a bit further on. There's a Woolies and a Dan Murphy's just down the road and only 10 minutes to Redfern Station.

Bonus points for short walks to Saturday Carriagework Farmer's Markets (10mins), regular trains (Redfern 10 mins) and easy distance to Redfern, Newtown and Erskineville for all your restaurant and bar needs.

About the occupants
I'm Jen, 37, I work full time for state government as an environmental project officer plus do the occasional nursing shift to supplement the support I provide the Australian fashion industry. I travel interstate every couple of months to catch up with family and friends.

I like to keep myself busy, during the week I usually try to fit in a yoga or gym class after work and I play AFL 9's once a week. The weekend will find me at the markets, catching up with friends for a gig, a drink or a meal, checking out an art exhibition, going to a movie or ever so often staying in and reading a good book. I love communal gardening spaces and have a plot at a community garden in the inner west. When I am home I like to potter around the kitchen, I'm vego but not fussed what you cook or eat.
Compatible people
Ideally I would like to live someone of a similar age with shared tastes. Most importantly I'm looking for a respectful housemate that is considerate of our shared space and wants to contribute to make it a home. Friends are welcome but this is more of a suave dinner party house than a party joint. You should be willing to keep common areas clean and pay rent and bills on time without prompting.

I like to hang out with my housemate drinking red wine and eating cheese on occasion, it would be good to catch up for the odd brunch or beer but understand that we're grown ups with our own lives to lead.
Description of pets
Hank and Dolly are a black kitten sibling duo saved from a life as strays. Initially meant to be adopted out, their winning personalities meant they have now found a permanent home with yours truly.
