Description of the home
Beautiful cottage in Kingston - period charm with modern conveniences (gas cooking, central heating + fireplace and north facing sunny deck!).
The available bedroom is unfurnished. The housemate who is moving out had most of the furniture/utensils, so someone with a couch, TV and other items would be looked upon favourably! Otherwise we'll be making some trips to the Green Shed and the like.
There is a large living room with working fireplace, separate kitchen with dishwasher, modern electric oven with gas stovetop (as well as working Aga - wood fired pizzas are a treat! apparently... admittedly we haven't confirmed this).
There's one bathroom with bath and very high powered shower head; separate toilet. Also a separate (and massive) laundry with washer and dryer.
Ducted heating is perfect to get through the Canberra winter and air conditioning for the summer ... although we rarely use the A/C.
Huge backyard is great for lazy garden-parties; there is a deck which turns into a great extra room during summer, fig and apple trees, as well as veggie patches and a garage for any extra storage.
The house is a short stroll to Kingston shops (5 minutes from a great IGA, several restaurants, Muse, Penny University....) and the foreshore (more brunch spots including Local Press and so many restaurants you'll never *need* to cook). It is directly across the road from large park & oval and within easy walking distance to the parliamentary triangle (less than 20 minutes walk) though there are also easily accessible major bus routes nearby.
There's a long driveway and garage for off-street parking and 24h street parking as well.

As mentioned above, the housemate who is moving out had most of the furniture, so someone with a couch, TV and other items would be looked upon favourably.
Someone who has their own friendship group and network established is preferable as while we enjoy having a glass of wine or two together, we all have our own busy lives and friendship groups.
Tl;dr don't sweat the small stuff
