Description of the home
Hi there!
My name is Gen and I have TWO spacious rooms available for rent in Richardson Street, Albert Park.
Located only a stone's throw from the beach and a 5-10 minute walk to the main shops on Victoria Avenue including a variety of restaurants, cafes, Woolworths and Jock's famous ice cream shop just around the corner.
This 3 bedroom has a spacious communal living area, courtyard and gorgeous high ceilings. At the back of the courtyard is a small, quaint bungalow where Gen's bedroom is located. Please note that this house is well worn in and has a little bit of 'character'. So if you’re okay with it being a little rough around the edges, then say hello to Albert Park!!
Transport-wise, a 20 second walk to the number 1 tram, or a 5 minute walk to the 96 (about a 20 min tram journey to Flinders St. on either route). There is also a bus which stops just a few doors down from our front door - so easy to get to work!
Two large rooms will be available from Oct-14 2019. The two roommates that are departing, as they prepare for married life, will be taking all kitchen goods including the fridge, washer, dryer. If you have any of these appliances, you are most welcome to bring them with you.

I'm Gen! Easy going and friendly, consider myself outdoorsy and love to be active and generally maintain a healthy lifestyle. But that doesn't mean I don't let me hair down for a bloody good time. I make the most of the area by regularly visiting the beach for an afternoon swim.
I like to be encouraging and very mindful of those who I live with, I'll give you space and I'm okay doing my own thing but I also love a good catch-up and coffee in the courtyard. I'm currently studying Psychology and working part-time as a tennis coach. My schedule tends to keep me really busy and I’m often up early in the mornings, so when I'm at home I generally like to say hello, have a chat and then chill out! I do enjoy socialising with friends on the weekend but I'm not on the party scene all the time. From time to time i'll have friends or family come over for a coffee and a catchup and I want this space to feel like you could do the same. I hope that this house will feel like a home for you and that it becomes a space that we can share in together.
I'd like to find an easy going housemate/s that enjoy life, have passion and have a sense of themselves and those around them. If we can keep the communal spaces clean, tidy up after yourself, are respectful, friendly and don't take yourself too seriously then continue to read on. Do you like a good laugh and a good wine? If you’re into drama, are rude, don't pay rent on time, messy as heck and generally not a legend, then this isn't the place for you. This is one sweet spot in Melbourne so if you’re ready to enjoy the 2019 summer at the beach, late night convos with a few wines, some trips into the city then this is your space. Living with like minded individuals is key so let's create a good environment for each other.
Tell me about yourself, what you live by and why this might be a good fit for us both.
