Home Description

Description of the home

My housemate is going overseas for 5 - 6months, so looking for someone to sublease her furnished room, in our furnished home in Dickson. Positioned halfway between Ainslie and Dickson shops, the house is in a great centralised location in Inner North. It is a 30min walk into the city, a quick 15min bus ride into ANU and an even shorter car ride into town. In the neighbourhood you have restaurants, cafes, supermarkets, tennis courts, a swimming pool, library, Mount Ainslie and lots of public transport options.

The furnished available bedroom is a decent size with an inbuilt wardrobe and backyard garden view with afternoon sun. Looking for someone to stay the full 5-6 month sublet. The place is available from July to December/January (dates flexible and negotiable). The room will come with a double bed, desk and storage. Will be cleared for your use.

The living room is a cute space with inbuilt shelving, fireplace (not in use) and a window into the dining/kitchen area. The living room has a door you can close off, so can be utilised as a study/ work-from-home office by day. Alternatively can be used for extra storage.

The kitchen is old but functional with a lot of storage. It does not have a dishwasher, but we have a gas oven. Bathroom has a shower/bath combo, with a separate toilet.

The property has a large backyard with clothesline, and fruit and native trees. I find it is a lot of work to maintain, so I am looking for someone who will be willing to help out in the garden and outdoor spaces. But the payoff is the birdlife is lovely! Our neighbours are quiet, and it is a relaxing space that gets a lot of afternoon sun.

No pets sorry.

About the occupants
Hi, I'm Kylie! I work in the arts/events and have a fairly active schedule. I sometimes work weekend and evening shifts, but still do office hours Mon-Fri too. I am often up and about between the hours of 7am and 11pm.
I am friendly and easygoing, and wish to find a tenant with similar traits. I like to keep a tidy and clean house.
I love to play tennis/squash, enjoy coffee and cafe hangs, neighborhood walks and going to markets. I make fibre art, so I have a bit of art hung up around the home - hope that's ok. It would be nice to share in some hobbies and interests.
Seeking a tenant who is of similar age, vaccinated/ Covid-conscious, and respectable in maintaining a compatible home life. As it is a small house, it is important to me to have good communication and to get along. I tend to cook my own meals, and keep to myself a bit, but always up for a chat.
Compatible people
Friendly, trustworthy, tidy, respectful and helpful around the house.
