Home Description

Description of the home

Brand new apartment in the newly completed and famed Ovo building in the new Greensquare Town Centre development. 19th floor apartment with sweeping views overlooking eastern and southern Sydney including Botany Bay - with a view of the city from the balcony.

The apartment is centrally located. It is directly above the Green Square train station which is one stop away from Central station. A number of buses are directly downstairs including 309, 310 and 370 (which goes to Sydney University, University of NSW, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Prince of Wales Hospital and Sydney Children's Hospital Randwick). A number of other buses are less than a 5 minute walk away including the 301, 343, and M20. A Woolworths supermarket is on the same block (don't even have to cross a road) and a number of other stores and cafes have opened/will be opening in the building itself and nearby buildings.

The apartment itself has a great layout (See image). It has 2 bathrooms (including one ensuite) so you will have your own bathroom. Large built-ins and storage including a caged storage space downstairs in the underground parking. Apartment will be furnished except for your bedroom - but your room can be furnished for extra rent. The apartment will include Miele appliances including dryer, dishwasher, microwave, gas stove and oven. A fridge and washing machine will also be purchased unless you can bring one with (extra browny points). Ducted air conditioning included and carpeted floors.

I will be spending half my time in Green Square so you will have the place to yourself for half the time. Occasionally my partner, Claire, will also be staying over but she will primarily be at our regular home.

Quite flexible with dates - the room is available until January 2019. Possible extension may be considered.

About occupants
I'm Soheil, I'm currently finishing my PhD in paediatric psychology while working full time as a child psychologist. I work Mon-Fri and sometimes Saturdays. I expect to be spending half my time at Greensquare so you will have the place to yourself for half the time. I regularly go rock climbing and try to swim most days including during winter. I am always keen to introduce people to climbing if you're game. I also go to the gym on days when I'm not climbing. I regularly go to the theatre and sport - with membership to the Sydney Cricket Ground trust (happy to share tickets to the AFL, cricket, rugby, NRL, football/soccer if you're so inclined). I enjoy gardening although not sure I can keep up the gardening 19 floors up. I'm very tidy and like home to be quiet and peaceful, especially while I finish my studies.

Also, I have extra memberships to the gym and swimming pool at Sydney Cricket Ground in Moore Park and happy to let you use it.
Compatible people
I appreciate a friendly and considerate housemate who has an interest in the world at large and is compassionate. I enjoy someone who enjoys a chat and a laugh, and an odd debate/discussion. I don't really drink (it's fine if you do), and no smokers, please. I want my place to feel like a home and I want someone who feels the same :)
