Geelong

Description of the home

Looking for a friendly and reliable housemate for a master bedroom with private ensuite in a beautiful cottage home just outside of Geelong CBD. Located on a neighbourly street where everyone stops for a chat and looks out for each other, the house is a less than 10 minute walk to South Geelong station and University Hospital Geelong and a 15-20 minute walk to the waterfront, Botanic gardens, shops, restaurants, cafes and GMHBA Stadium.

The master bedroom is situated at the front of the house looking out onto the garden and comfily fits a queen size bed, has an attached private bathroom and large in-built wardrobes for everything you could possibly store. The rest of the shared spaces include a large kitchen with a Belling oven, two living areas with great lighting (one looks onto an outdoor fern garden that can be lit up at night and the other opens up into a large courtyard), bathroom with laundry and bathtub, a verandah and a double garage for off-street parking. The house offers ample room to make this place your own, including a WFH office. Plus, our real estate agent is welcoming of pets - pet friendly features of the home include doggy and cat doors and lots of indoor and outdoor space for pet toys/beds and exercise.

Rent is $285 per week/$1,238.40 per calendar month, not including bills.

My current housemate is moving out because she bought her own home so move-in date is flexible throughout November.
