Home Description

Description of the home

Cute 3 bedroom Californian bungalow in a great location in the heart of Coburg, suitable for singles or couples; couples charged $50 extra on top of advertised price. The common areas are currently furnished, including appliances, the bedrooms are not. Happy to negotiate arrangements to accommodate your situation.

The house is on a decent sized block with sunny back and front yards, very generous sized bedrooms with huge built-in-robes, 3m high ceilings, garage, dishwasher and two toilets.

The house has plenty of sunlight at all times, good airflow, polished floorboards, and solid internal walls which block out almost all household noise when you're in the bedroom. The gardens are in great shape and have well lit and decent sized vegetable garden plots, with available space for gardening. There's also an undercover patio in the back yard that is great for BBQs/outdoor cooking or entertaining, and an outdoor workshop area and garage with storage.

The location is outstanding, 450m from the main Coburg hub. All types of public transport are within walking distance.

About occupants
Hi everyone! My housemate Laura and I are looking for a friendly, easy-going housemate to join us in our lovely Coburg Californian bungalow. The house is located just around the corner from Bell Street and Sydney Road, making public transport super accessible and putting you right near all the best that Brunswick has to offer.

A little about me: I’m 47 and work full-time in IT/IIOT, splitting my week between working from home and on-site. I’m a mix of laid-back and driven—I love tinkering with DIY projects, from furniture design to electronics and renovations. I also have a creative side and a passion for music, especially electronic beats (once upon a time, I DJ’d at outdoor festivals).

I’m also a bit of a foodie and can happily spend the day cooking up a feast. While I enjoy good conversation, banter, and storytelling, I equally value quiet time and maintaining a calm, peaceful vibe at home. I take pride in keeping shared spaces clean and organized, ensuring they’re enjoyable for everyone.

As a fringe dweller, I’m drawn to individuality, creativity, and open-mindedness. I’d love to share this space with housemates who bring good energy and enjoy a collaborative, relaxed living environment. Bonus points if you’re into gardening, music, or up for a laugh.

And now, a bit about Laura:

Hi everyone! My name’s Laura, I’m 39, a student studying psychotherapy and working part-time, and I’m looking for friendly housemates to join us in this amazing home. I’m easygoing, creative, and love being surrounded by positivity and good energy.

Music is a big part of my life—I create electronic music and love exploring sound and creativity. I’m also into art and enjoy working on creative projects. When I’m not studying, working, or in the garden caring for plants, you’ll often find me out catching up with friends or enjoying the outdoors.

I value a good balance between socializing and personal space. Whether you’re up for a chat, want to collaborate on creative ideas, or just want to coexist peacefully, I’m all for it. I also keep shared spaces tidy and respectful to make sure the home feels welcoming for everyone.

Looking forward to meeting like-minded people who’d love to call this place home!
