Description

We would be delighted to rent our home to a couple or a family. The house has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, large kitchen/dining area and separate lounge. The house comes with a beautiful self contained studio bedroom perfect for extra guests, or that private writing sanctuary you are craving. This is the first time we have rented out our home - hence no reviews yet! But we are sure you will love it. We are nestled in a peaceful, safe and very well connected part of inner Melbourne, close to everything you could need during your sabbatical stay. The inner West is known as Melbourne's "hidden gem" as it is close to Victoria University, University of Melbourne, and CBD campuses without experiencing the issues often arising alongside high density living. It hosts an ecclectic and hugely friendly mix of residents from diverse backgrounds and is renowned for its affordable lifestyle, multicultural arts and cuisine, festivals, markets as well as cafes, restaurants, parks and playgrounds. Our house is perfect for couples and families, and our neighbours are really helpful and friendly with day to day interactions. Guests will enjoy a large dining space and socialising area, which opens onto a leafy entertainment deck and gorgeous shady courtyard. You can enjoy quiet time watching movies in a separate comfortable lounge room, fully equipped with new smart TV and space for a group of 2,3 or 4 to chill out together. The backyard studio is fully self contained with kitchenette, bed, desk, TV and bathroom - ready for use as a bedroom or study space. There is a fully stocked pantry and well equipped kitchen and BBQ area. Everything is set up, comfortable and ready for your sabbatical. Located close to bus and trainlines you will have no trouble accessing Melbourne's wonderful CBD, Parkville and local neighbourhoods. We are happy to negotiate the use of our car and a bicycle during your stay to make things even easier.
