Home Description

Description of the home

My housemate is going solo (rude) so a spot in a sweet 3 Bed + 1 Bath + 1 Car warehouse conversion in Surry Hills has just opened up (not so rude).

Previously used as a three bedder, it's now just being used for two so you have (two) options. Both unoccupied rooms are large and one even has built-ins. They come unfurnished (don't we all) - it's a queen bed in the photos for reference if size matters. Of note is one of the rooms is at the opposite end of the apartment to the other two if noise matters.

But what’s it cost?
The rent is $440/week. 4 weeks bond. Gas/Electricity/Internet.

And where the hell is it?
It’s in a secure complex of just 3 apartments on a quiet lane in central Surry Hills. So order your hangover uber eats Maccas without shame or witness (though I might roast you a bit tbh).

What’s so good about it?
The place has a massive open plan living space with an almost comically large dining table, a covered balcony so you can look down upon Surry Hills cocktail in hand, an internal laundry and built-in laundry line, a car spot in the garage that I don't ever use, high ceilings that I can't even reach, polished concrete floors, and a sweet industrial-meets-asia interior.

The unoccupied room is currently being used as a home office (I sometimes WFH) / extra storage (I have things). Depending on our schedules / lifestyles / needs this could be used for something else.

The place is fully furnished and has all the standard amenities - like an overused coffee machine, and gas stove - though I don't mind offloading things if you want to bring anything in particular.

We’re shit-I-forgot-oat-milk walking distance from several grocery stores. We're running-late-for-work walking distance from central station (it's a 7 minute speed walk, don't ask me how I know), the light rail, and many a bus. We're drunk walking home distance from Oxford st (also don't ask me how I know). We're also surrounded by gyms and restaurants if you want to sweat, eat, or sweat while you eat.

About the occupants
I'm Aaron - in my 30's (RIP), works in the creative industries as an art director and designer. From the south coast originally, keep it pretty chill through the week, and currently work from home 3 days a week (hence the home office). Otherwise divide my time between the gym, one of the many bars in the area, or just out and about. Into music, art, fitness, pop culture, and a good Negroni. Have lived in this place for over three years now.
