2-bedroom shared house, Kingston Terrace

Hi! My current housemate is moving out, and I'm looking for someone to move in by July.

Rent doesn't include utilities, and although couples are welcome, I will ask we split utilities between each person : )

If you are wanting to stay for more than a month, I will want to put your name on the lease - this does come with a small fee the real estate agency charges. I am not the owner of the property, but its sole tenant, so you will have to be approved by the rental agency - however, this is more of an opportunity for a good rental history than something to be intimidated by, as the main thing you'll have to prove to them is that you can afford the rent, nothing else.

I've written a description of the property below:

It’s easy to forget you’re so close to the city given its tranquility, this house is in a fantastic location in North Adelaide within walking distance to the city and campuses, across from a paddock with quiet suburbs surrounding it. The house is large enough to work around differing schedules, and includes a back *garage* which currently is used to store bikes away from the rain - if you have a small car, you could park it there, however there is also ample untimed on-street parking. The house is entirely furnished, including a lovely (if I do say so myself) large cozy front room and fully decked-out kitchen and dining table. Given the size, this is the kind of house you can invite friends to visit without feeling like you’re aching for more space!

A solid traditional brick house, it has been retrofitted with modern air conditioning and heating, with spacious room. Your bedroom is rather large, and located next to the bathroom. Although there is only one full bathroom downstairs, my upstairs bedroom has a toilet and sink ensuite, so you’d have it mostly to yourself.

You have the option of using the double bed already in the room, but if you wanted to bring in your own that’s possible. There’s a drawer for your clothes, and a portable clothes rack you can use also. There’s plenty of space to add a desk, however, there’s also the *computer room* adjacent to the front room which currently basically only has a desk with my stuff in it and some other miscellaneous furniture. This can be moved around and reconfigured, where if needed, you could have your own study area set up there/place to put things other than your bedroom.

Overall, it’s a lovely house that’s lovingly unique, I’ve really enjoyed living in it over the past year, I'm sure you will too!

About me:
Hi! I’m a 25 year old newly-minted Uni graduate who is looking for a new housemate to live with me, as the person I live with is moving for a job opportunity. Although the house is large enough that there’s plenty of personal space, considering the fact it’d just be the two of us, I’d like whoever moves in to be someone I can get along with easily, and someone with whom I can create a positive and safe homely vibe. I value emotional intelligence and communication.

I’m very open-minded and accepting of all different strokes and stripes of people - I have had female, male, and non-binary housemates before. I like to both keep to myself, whether that’s in my books or computer - but also be sociable - chat, catch up with friends, go on adventures, have board game nights. I respect people who are kind and who have good abilities to communicate, and I believe I demonstrate those things. I’m the kind of person who will happily share the details of my life if asked, but if you’d prefer to keep more private, I’m also entirely fine with that.

My schedule is mostly dominated around my support work two days a week, which can go reasonably late. If you’re an early riser, that’s no problem, as the house is large enough to work around differing schedules. I also have lifeguarding work intermittently throughout the week. I may occasionally have a small gathering of friends over, and you’d be welcome to do the same. I enjoy cooking, and would be happy to share meals if that’s something you’d be interested in too!

Overall, I consider myself a friendly person eager to share a roof with, most of my friends call me a "labrador-type" guy, which I think is a compliment :D.
