Clifton Hill

Description of the home

There's a lot to like about living in this secluded pocket of Clifton Hill. Proximity-wise, it's well connected to the city: a brief 10-minute walk to Clifton Hill train station, 15 minutes from trams on Queens Parade and High street, and Capital City Bike Trail along the river is on your doorstep. Despite its proximity to the Inner North and the city's offerings, waking up to birdsong and accessing the Merri Creek or Yarra River is serene. It’s hard to believe you can feel like you’re in the bush while strolling along the creek or river. Moreover, the Abbotsford Convent and Farm is easily accessible. The local offering is quaint and awesome, there's a brilliant continental supermarket, several cafes, a popular bottle shop, a time-honoured fish and chips, highly rated pizza, a gorgeous wine bar, and ample green spaces nearby.

This has been my home for 7 years now and I've done my best to make it a comfortable space for living. It's a three-level townhouse with three bedrooms and two bathrooms upstairs, while the lower level hosts all the living areas and a small plant-filled courtyard. I have all modern living essentials like a fridge, washer, microwave, dishwasher, BBQ and Dyson; with split systems in all bedrooms and full-house ducted gas heating. The kitchen is well-equipped with most things you'd need. There’s no TV and prefer the living room not to be orientated around one. However, entertainment needs are met with an impressive home cinema featuring a projector (unobtrusive drop-down screen) and a hi-fi system. The room can be partly furnished or empty. Off-street parking is always available on the quiet neighbourhood streets. There’s an all-round friendly atmosphere here, with families and dogs frequenting nearby parks. 'The Hill', is a local favourite spot known for its stunning city skyline views and sunsets, especially in the summer.

I'm open to short-term stays if you know the exact dates you will be moving in and out so I can plan for once you've moved on in advance. If this is the case we can discuss an alternative bond arrangement.

I've advertised elsewhere and in the past have had many inquiries to respond to. I apologise if I can't message you immediately but will do my best to get back to you. Please feel free to ask any questions.

Bills and expenses

All the usuals - Electricity - Gas - Water - Internet, all split equally. I constantly look for the best deals and because I’m currently a student, we get all the good concession discounts on utilities 😉 The Internet is 250mbs so there are never issues with it. The bond is one month's rent paid before the move-in date. All bills are transparently uploaded and managed in an App I use called 'Splitwise' which makes it convenient and simple to manage. I ask you to settle any current bills along with the rent each month.
