Home Description

Description of the home

Room with HUGE outdoor rooftop area attached & an attic. $385 per week total (includes all bills - gas, electricity, water, internet, subscriptions). 4 weeks bond.

🛌 Your room: Queen size room with a attic and huge outdoor area. Currently has a bed, desk, chest of drawers, clothing racks.

🏠 The house: Lovely double wide terrace house with backyard, two living spaces, dining area, fully stocked kitchen.

🛀 Bathrooms: Main bathroom is massive and has a bath, huge mirror, lots of storage space. There's an additional toilet in the downstairs laundry (which has a washer/dryer) and an ensuite attached to another bedroom - so we haven't had an issue with anyone waiting for a bathroom.

🌿 The backyard is lovely and private, it gets the morning sunshine and is a lovely place to have a coffee.

🛋️ There are two main living areas at opposite ends of the house which means you’re never on top of each other – someone can be cooking in the kitchen and chatting to someone chilling in the backroom, while someone watching TV in the front lounge.

👩‍🍳 Kitchen: we have every appliance you could possibly wish for and a fully stocked kitchen with all the basics.

🐈 We have two AMAZING cats – Muffin & Trifle. They've converted many a 'non-cat person' to be cat lovers. They also leave you alone a lot of the time. So, no need to worry about 3am zoomies.

🗺️ The area: You can walk to Newtown in 15-20 minutes. Broadway in about 10 minutes. Buses to the city are a two-minute walk from the front door. You can get everything delivered too - want curry at 3am? Go for it!

$385 per week total (includes all bills - gas, electricity, water, internet, + access to every subscription channel you can think of) + one month bond ($1,540). Plus we’ve got furniture and a bed if you need!

We’re looking for someone who wants to be part of the home we’ve created – having a laugh and joking around, but also who is comfortable doing their own thing and making it a home.

Please note: the owner has said he will put up rent before December. We don't know when or how much but he is usually very reasonable.

About occupants
We’ve curated a house of legends and have all been super happy living together for the past 1yr+.
🌏 Polly: Aussie gal, lived in the house for 6 years, loves exploring nature and a costume party.
🍀 Ellen: Irish lass, loves a paint and sip night with frozen margs and a good sing-along.
🥖 Margo: French bebe, studying at UTS and exploring everything Sydney & Australia has to offer.

We love our home so much and want someone friendly, chill, and easy-going who will love it just as much.
We’re all social people both at home and out, so being happy to give each other space after a big day/week, and be happy to get comfy, and mooch around each other is a must. We’re all 22yrs+ so have pretty independent lives from each other, but still like to come together for films, games, and outings if the energy is there.

We’re all social people both at home and out, so being happy to give each other space after a big day/week, and be happy to get comfy, and mooch around each other is a must. We’re all 25yrs+ so have pretty independent lives from each other, but still like to come together for films, games, and outings if the energy is there. We’re also all about open communication – no need for cranky vibes or frustrations. Just talk it through.
Description of pets
Two little old lady cats who have converted even the most loyal dog lover to be cat tolerant. They're funny little creatures who mostly keep to themselves but are down for a movie night and cuddle if you are!
