ROOM IN LEAFY ALPHINGTON near DAREBIN PARKLANDS $822.50 pcm + bills

Light-filled room, in a newly renovated home with 3 wonderful humans and 1 sweet natured hound.

The available room has space for a double/queen sized bed, shelves, dresser and clothes rack. It’s light filled and has cute built-in shelves for books & plant friends.

The house has ducted heating and cooling and is equipped with a washing machine, 2 toilets and a large modern kitchen with a 5 hob gas stove, Miele dishwasher, 2 fridges and the biggest island bench you've ever seen. Bathroom has a sweet bathtub and separate shower, double basin, and great water pressure.

There are two large communal spaces with couches, a large undercover outdoor area, huge backyard space, big garage, a garden shed and a Tiki hut!
For green thumbs, there's always gardening projects underway, currently transforming the backyard into a self-sustaining veggie wonderland.

House is on a super quiet and calm street, literally one street back from the gorgeous and extensive nature reserve Darebin Parklands, so it's essentially your front yard.
It's a 6 minute walk to Alphington train station and the 508 bus goes right outside our door which takes you across town via Northcote and Brunswick to Moonee Ponds.
Shopping is a breeze - around the corner from the weekly Alphington Farmers Market and a 20 min stroll to the Station St shopping strip in Fairfield.

About occupants
You will be living with 3 super friendly, respectful and house-trained housemates all in their mid 30's plus.

Tamar - community worker and educator, vivacious, caring, collector of litter, dog person/people-person. Delighted by birds, nature, the sky... and cups of tea.

Marty - super friendly, easy-going, vinyl collecting, politically astute, craft beer connoisseur who studies horticulture, loves good music and anything from the 80's. Responds well to people with Back To The Future knowledge

Paul - chef by day and obsessed with terrible movies the rest of the time. Always open to a chat about most anything and everything when not embracing solo time.
Compatible people
You - someone mature (and fun), loves dogs, clean, respectful, experienced in share-housing and has the intention of a happy home. Good communicator, good vibes and keen to contribute to making this home feel welcoming and harmonious.

We live independently with regards to food and our lives but enjoy coming together spontaneously for a boogie in the kitchen, listening to good tunes or having chats over a cuppa.

Whoever you are, dear human, bring your uniqueness and we'll see if it works!
Description of pets
The dog, Madhu; lovable, 12 yr old who spends most of the day sleeping in the sunny spots in the lounge or seeking out pats from whoever is home. These days epic walks are more likely meanders checking out ducklings. He is super sweet and easy to live with.
