Home Description

Description of the home

Coburg North house on a hill looking for 1 more to make 4!
$840 p/mth bills not included

We are all part of the queer, ENM, and neurodivergent communities and value open and proactive communication around needs, boundaries and goings on around our home. We share cleaning responsibilities evenly among the group, and occasionally share meals. We intend for our home to be a space where friends and partners are welcome to visit, but not a big party house.

We have one medium-sized room available, big enough for a DB/QB and a small desk. The room itself is carpeted with a small built in wardrobe. It has a large, south-facing window equipped with a block-out roller shutter. Opportunity to move into the room with slightly larger wardrobe when Ev moves out.

Shared bathroom, gas cooking and plenty of storage, several spacious living areas, a big garage/gym/games rumpus, two balconies and a back yard with a large paved area and veggie patch.

The house itself is located on a quiet, dead end street in Coburg North. We are a 5 minute walk to Edgar's Creek, 9 minute walk to Coburg Hill Shopping Centre, and an 15 minute walk to the No. 11 tram on Gilbert Rd.

Unfortunately the house is not particularly accessible as the main part of the house is up a large flight of stairs. We already have a cat that doesn't like other animals so sorry no other pets. Prefer over 30yrs old

Lease ends in March, Planning to renew. The old Italian landlord lives next door. It was a problem initially but the realestate and their own family sorted them out for us.

We're looking for someone around 30+ in age, queer and neurodivergent friendly, willing to meet roughly once each fortnight for house meetings, and integrate into our systems for cleaning and maintenance.

We require our house to be a safe place for all members, so communication is a must, both listening to each other and sharing your own needs.
Description of pets
