Home Description

Description of the home

Great location set on the border of Thornbury/South Preston close to Thornbury Picture House, walking distance to 86 tram on High Street and Thornbury Station. Our home is a lovely light-filled three bedroom townhouse with choice of outdoor areas. Each bedroom has it's own private ensuite. It's fully furnished with all the mod cons, so you only need to furnish your bedroom.
We have a green outdoor courtyard with sitting area, veggie beds/garden, and an upstairs balcony with views out to the yarra valley hills. There is also a backyard area with clothes line, veggie bed and garage which is my art studio - but it has room for your bike and camp gear if needed. We are close to all the good cafes/restaurants/bars on High Street.
You’ll notice there’s no TV in the common space, but everyone’s totally fine watching the box in their bedrooms.

About occupants
You’ll be sharing with me and Ansh. I’m in my 40s and work FT as an Art Teacher M-F. I'm happy, healthy, politically left and I keep pretty busy. I like swimming, riding my bike, music festivals, live bands, EDM dance events, making stuff, galleries, reading, and gardening. I might host the occasional dinner with friends, but tend to go out more than entertain. Ansh is in his 30s and works FT in cyber security WFH 2 days a week. He enjoys early gym sessions, catching up with friends, and Latin dancing. On weekends, he might get out for a coffee, live gigs, random events, hiking, camping, cycling or motorbiking.
Compatible people
We are social housemates, EI, no drama, experienced living with others and do it out of choice. We're looking for someone who is a good fit, not just a renter. You're positive, kind, friendly, also no drama, and good for a chat. We don’t mind what you cook, or your floordrobe, but keeping the place clean and neat in the common spaces is a must. If this sounds good to you, then get in touch.
