The Famous Spiegelshed; a leafy writer's retreat for one

Description

The Spiegelshed is an airy 1940s garage/workshop converted into a comfortable writer’s studio. It offers a sleeping nook (king single bed) kitchenette (fridge and microwave) and outdoor bathroom (flush toilet, hot water basin and shower). It is space-heated in winter and air conditioned in summer. The Shed sits behind a compact three-bedroom semi with rear street access, so that you have your own private entrance through a garden with a lockable gate. Nestled in the centre of the block, it's quiet and has a lovely aspect both east and west. You have access to the common areas of the 'big' house, which offers a bathroom with full bath, a fully-equipped kitchen and a small lounge/dining room. The house itself is currently tenanted by three young women who are all working and/or studying. As part of a share house, you are expected to participate in a reasonable amount of vacuuming, rubbish duty and general cleaning besides cleaning up after yourself. Marrickville’s shops and restaurants are dominated by the Vietnamese community, but there is also a European delicatessen, gelato and so on. We are walking distance from the Annette Kellerman Aquatic Centre and Marrickville Metro, where you can shop for groceries, including Aldi. The 428 bus from the end of our street takes you a short ride to USyd and UTS and then into the city via Broadway shopping centre (Applestore, upmarket clothes etc). A second bus from the entertainment strip of King Street Newtown takes you to UNSW and our beautiful beaches. Cycling is also an option and there is plenty of free street parking. We are walking distance from Marrickville Library, a good place to work and get coffee. The 428 takes you past the Newtown branch of the City of Sydney Library, where you can get any item from their world-class collection transferred for free :)
