Home Description

Description of the home

Gorgeous townhouse on Abbotsford's most iconic street. Four current lodgers looking for a fifth to take on fully self contained and beautifully renovated granny flat. Entrance to the granny flat is through the back garage so this is a great room for people wanting to live independently in one of Melbourne's most dynamic neighbourhoods.

The house is a minutes walk from the Yarra River and trail. Close to the Collingwood Children's Farm, Abbotsford Convent as well as a swathe of trendy cafes including Three Bags Full and Mavis the Grocer, not to mention the incredible Vietnamese food on Victoria Street. Collingwood station, Victoria Street tramlines as well as Hoddle Street and Johnstone street bus routes are all minutes walk away as is the Hive complex featuring Aldi, Coles and a very cheap Vietnamese grocer.

Bills and expenses

The granny flat is a separate unit and receives its own utility bills. You would be responsible for these.

About the occupants
Hi my name is Will. I'm a 25 year old theatre maker and musician. I work at a hospital casually as well as running about the town to rehearsals, performances etc. My hours are very random.

I live with three others who are described below. Though I should note, the room available is the granny flat and separate from the main house so this is a great opportunity for someone looking for a private, self contained existence. We are, however, very sociable if you want to come in to the main house and have a cuppa every now and then.

Dave - Dave is a fun guy that runs two businesses. he often works from home and loves animals and extreme sports. He travels to Sydney frequently.

Jane - Jane is currency trader and cook extraordinaire. She loves reading and leisurely walks with the dogs.

Bernadette - Bernadette is an ex-corporate exec and glamazon. She enjoys bike-riding, wine-tasting and whirlwind trips abroad with her beau, Baz.
Compatible people
We are looking for a clean, respectful professional. Lovers of good food and wine are a plus.
Description of pets
Molly and Harry are two very random mutts but they are rather cute. Jane and Bernadette take care of them and they live in the main house so would not bother you too much.
