Home Description

Description of the home

Huge room in massive grand old home. Modern kitchen/bathroom, mega high ceilings, double garage, big garden, lots of living areas. Centralised heating, air con, fireplace, 3 toilets.
No parking restrictions, just off Sydney Rd on a tree-lined street at south end of Coburg.

We’ve recently signed a 12 month lease and are looking for 1 more person to be part of a big, friendly, communicative share house. A respectful, supportive abode where we pool our personalities and furnishings.

How we live and what we value:
- Clean, tidy, relatively uncluttery but not stressy about it
- Care about our home and garden
- Grow food when the space allows, separate rubbish, buy second hand
- Into living sustainably, conscious energy/water usage
- We like to have friends and family over sometimes for meals and hangs
- Respect others need for rest and sleep
- Pro-active communication
- House energy typically peaceful
- Value self awareness and growth
- 2 of us work from home and have no problem on others doing the same - it's such a roomy place that noone will be on top of each other
- LGBTQIA+ friendly

Some things that we feel make for a successful and happy share home:
- Communal setup - home keeping, consensus based decision making
- Being good at (or striving to be) respectful and open communication, negotiation and compromise
- Transparency in house-related money matters

Admin things:
- 1 month bond and 1 month rent in advance
- You will need to be approved to go onto the lease - $120 fee for this
- Bills (electricity, gas, internet, water, cleaner) divided evenly.

About occupants
Tara - I love to share house! I look to cook for others, make big pots of tea, have crafty times, grow things and generally become a house family of sorts. I also like to disappear into my room or out on my own when I feel the call of solitude or roaming free. Im in my 40’s and have learned things like how to unblock drains, fix shower screens, dishwashers, tap washers and those rental maintenance things that you may not want to bother a landlord or tradie for. I like walking (bush and city), bike riding, dress-ups, markets,, swimming in creeks, seeing bands and taking on origami projects that seem overwhelming at first but end in delight. I sound like a bit of a wanker.

Lucy - who’s really struggling to write her own bio. If you meet her you’ll love her.

Reign
Queer, POC, migrant big into community and working with my hands. DIY projects, Crunchyroll, cooking, gaming, and going out dancing are my joys.
