Description

Mistress/Master bedroom in 1880s terrace house with a long balcony. Built-in wardrobes and a fold-out desk enable you to work in the privacy of your room. Unfortunately I cannot accept applications from people under the age of 35. Walking distance to Redfern station, Sydney Uni, UTS and Notre Dame. Close to UNSW. Freshly painted and renovated. A historical sunlight-filled gem in the heart of the city. Separate living and dining rooms. Great house to entertain in but also a peaceful retreat. Bath. Loads of books and art. Stereo. Smart TV, Netflix, Stan, etc and DVD/VCR. Gas cooking and heating, well equipped newly fitted kitchen including dishwasher. North-east facing, capacious backyard with worm farm, herbs, orchids. Lots of different spaces enable independent living. A front porch where you can sit and watch the street go by. You will be sharing with me, a writer who works at home. I'm often out in the evening but when home like to read, cook or watch TV. Friends visit. I enjoy cooking occasionally for my housemate; mutual privacy is important. I work traditional hours at my desk, often on weekends as well. Smoking outside is permitted. This house is a haven despite being only a few steps away from the thriving café/bar strip of Redfern. 12 minutes walk to Chinatown and Central station, 15 mins to Centennial Park, Surry Hills and Newtown. Within walking distance are two supermarkets, a Lebanese and Chinese greengrocer, newsagents, bakers, pubs, bars and loads of funky restaurants.

House Sitting

I am looking for help while I am away

My young cat Cyril. If I am out I will ask you to feed him and bring him before dark. Unfortunately I can't accommodate people allergic to cats.

I would like help with mail and deliveries

If I'm away, I will ask you to collect my mail.

I would like help with plants or garden

If I'm away and it's hot, I'll ask you to water the garden.

Comments: If you're here long-term, we share the sweeping of the yards: once a month per person. We are also responsible for keeping the kitchen and bathroom clean between the fortnightly cleaners.
