Other information
I am looking for one person to occupy a master bedroom I have available for rent in St Albans 3021. It is a large room with a sizeable in-built wardrobe and ethernet port. The room is unfurnished and has a west-facing window with indoor blinds and outdoor shutters.

Home Description

Description of the home

The house is spacious: large kitchen, open living/dining room, unusually big bathroom and a welcoming vestibule. There is also a front yard and a back yard with a shed for storage (e.g. bicycle). There is lots of space in the back yard to park a car. I have nabbed the pic of the empty bedroom from online so you get an idea of the space, but the living/dining area is semi-furnished.

The street is relatively quiet, yet close enough to the main road for ease of access. It is a 2-minute walk to a beautiful flora and fauna reserve, from where you are connected to bike/walking trails, and only 900 metres to the nearest train station. St Albans has a wonderful produce market and lots of varied, affordable eateries. In general, it is a lovely satellite suburb, with all the required facilities, nestled in the heart of Melbourne's diverse west.

Home features

  • Air-conditioning

Bills and expenses

The cost for the room is $200/week excluding bills (gas, water, electricity, internet), which we would split. The room is available to occupy from 23 April 2025. Details re. bond TBC but expect ~ one month's rent. Ideally, I would love to find somebody who would be willing to co-sign the year-long lease with me, but I could be flexible.

About occupants
About me: My name is Rohan, I am a musician in my mid-late-20s and am a freelancing professional. I balance teaching, performing and research commitments, all of which keep me rather busy! I am a multi-instrumentalist and frequently practice at home. I occasionally have friends over for rehearsals, but don't fret, as I/we keep the music making to sensible hours and all my visitors are pleasant and respectful. I am a vegetarian, I enjoy cooking/baking and try to be active outdoors when I can. I'm always up for a chat, but at the same time equally appreciate privacy.
Compatible people
Who I am looking for: A friendly, considerate housemate who will respect the property and appreciate living in the neighbourhood. No pets please. Whilst gatherings are most welcome, this is not a party house and I'd like to keep things civil. I am not too fussed about gender, age, occupation, etc., as long as we can co-exist amiably. However, any similarities regarding interests and lifestyles would be beneficial. A creative person would be ideal. Also, if you have green fingers, I am sure you would appreciate the yard space. I look forward to meeting those of you who are keen. :)
