Home Description

Description of the home

Three bedroom apartment shared with two others (me) and a young Italian man who stays 3/4 nights a week who is a local school teacher. We are both never here 7 nights a week, we are both quite busy and spend nights away from the apartment each week. It is a very well-maintained block. Walk up to second level - only two apartments per floor with great neighbours - private people - no nosey parkers. Older style not-renovated apartment with daggy kitchen and bathroom but high ceilings, bright, brimming with sunshine and great vibe - we also enjoy a great cooling summer breeze straight off the water. It's a corner apartment so we have windows and natural light from three sides, only one neighbour and a small common wall.

Large living area with sep dining room. Modern decor. Fully equipped but no dishwasher (hands on here - gloves provided).. well there may be a dishwasher being installed....... Internal laundry and two bathrooms - the larger would be yours to share with the other flatmate. A good-sized covered balcony of living with BBQ and close water views perfect for a summer snag and a chilled cider. The complex has a large swimming pool.

Sought-after block in great locale close walk to local shops, The Newport pub, bus transport, parks, RPAYC, RMYC (pick-up bus) and an easy level walk to Newport shopping village and beach. Easy street parking - however there is lockup garage for storage of motorbike / sports equipment / bicycle / skatebood or rollerblades....... :-)

PS : living may change as the part-time gentleman may or may not stay on after December....

About occupants
I live here with a young man in the 2nd bedroom who is a local teacher and stays 3-4 nights a week. My two adult sons visit - not nearly enough, generally to borrow something or eat. I work in marketing in RE at the moment from home and from an office so I have irregular but regular work hours. M-F.

I am not a huge party person, however, I can and do when required, I have a good social network and get out and about. I love to snow ski, paddle, hike and I am trying to get my fitness back having had a very active and competitive lifestyle. I love to cook, I sometimes binge bad TV and have a really broad range of music in my mix. I am super neat and tidy but not a tyrant, I talk a lot or not. I am relaxed and easy-going but don't take kindly to miserly people who are glass-half-empty. I am not looking for someone who plans to party hard or bring randoms home. I have a partner and spend several nights a week at his home and we travel a LOT and are very social. The other guy works hard as a high-school teacher, comes home and relaxes. He is multi-lingual, super intelligent, a little quiet and likes to ride his motor bike and go to the gym.

I read the Sunday papers, listen to audible or podcasts on my way to work, ride a scooter and cheat on crosswords. I have recently starting doing jigsaw puzzles... but cool ones not flower pots or churches.... I am now a #jigger but please don't judge me... they are actually kinda fun. I kill plants but it's manslaughter not murder. Getting a flatmate at this age was not my plan but hey %^&* happens right ? Everything in moderation,,,,, even moderation. Thanks for reading.

You should be clean, honest, tidy and employed. Not a religious zealot please, definitely no drugs, moderate drinker and would be great if you are a bit of sporty or fit freak(ish).... that might guilt me into action. Dogs over cats, The Jam over Maroon 5, meat over fish but prawns win always, union over league, Family Guy over South Park, ABC & SBS over Channel 7/9/10, JJJ over MMM, chilli sauce over tomato sauce.... sleep is the new black. NO SMOKERS OR VAPERS .. THIS IS A DEAL BREAKER
