Lyneham ACT 2602

A ROOM HAS BECOME AVAILABLE IN A GREAT TOWNHOUSE AS A RESULT OF THE IMPENDING WORK TRANSFER OF MY HOUSEMATE. YOU WOULD BE SHARING WITH ONE OTHER PERSON. IT'S A LARGE TWO-STOREY TOWNHOUSE (OF 1980S PROPORTIONS) IN THE EVOCATIVELY TITLED CHALET COURT IN LYNEHAM PROPER. OUR COMPLEX IS A TEN-MINUTE WALK TO DICKSON OR LYNEHAM SHOPS, HALF-AN-HOUR WALK TO CIVIC, AND 40 MINUTES WALK TO ANU. IT IS INCREDIBLY WELL POSITIONED, BORDERED ON ONE OF THE SIDES BY NORTHBOURNE AVENUE (BUSES!) AND ON ONE OF THE OTHERS BY THE BIKE PATH (BIKES!). THERE IS HEAPS OF PARKING WITHIN THE COMPLEX IF YOU HAVE A CAR. THE COMPLEX IS SUPER QUIET AND FEELS LIKE A BLISSFUL RETREAT WITH VIEWS OF TREES FROM EVERY WINDOW. BOTH OF THE ROOMS ARE ADULT SIZED. ONE IS MASSIVE. THE OTHER IS EVEN BIGGER AND INCLUDES A BALCONY AND STUDY NOOK. THE MASSIVE ONE IS $200P/W. THE EVEN BIGGER ONE IS $210 P/W. I CURRENTLY LIVE IN THE MASSIVE ONE BUT AM HAPPY TO MOVE TO THE EVEN BIGGER ONE IF YOU WANT THE CHEAPER ROOM. THE HOUSE HAS TONNES OF STORAGE, INCLUDING IN BOTH BEDROOMS. THERE IS ALSO A SECURE OUTDOOR STORAGE SHED WHERE YOU COULD KEEP VALUABLE THINGS SUCH AS EUROPEAN BICYCLES OR TREASURE. YOU WOULD ONLY NEED TO FURNISH YOUR ROOM, AS PRETTY MUCH EVERYTHING ELSE IS HERE, INCLUDING MY SWEET DANISH DINING SETTING. IF YOU ARE AN AVID TV WATCHER, YOU MAY WANT TO SUBSTITUTE A MORE MODERN CONTRAPTION FOR MY ANALOGUE/SET-TOP BOX AFFAIR, BUT MAYBE YOU FEEL AS TEPID ABOUT TV AS I DO? THERE ARE TWO TOILETS AND ALSO TWO FRONT DOORS. WE HAVE A LARGE COURTYARD THAT IS SUPER EASY TO MAINTAIN, BUT THAT COULD ALSO ACCOMMODATE PLANTER BOXES OR A WORM FARM IF YOU LIKE TO GARDEN. I AM A 33-YEAR-OLD PHD STUDENT AT ANU AND LEAD A PRETTY INDEPENDENT LIFE. I'M SOCIAL BUT ALSO APPRECIATE QUIET TIME. I'LL HAVE A FRIEND OR TWO OVER FOR A DRINK OR MEAL (AND AM ALWAYS HAPPY TO MEET A HOUSEMATE'S FRIENDS), BUT MY PARTYING DAYS ARE BEHIND ME, AND WHEN I REVISIT THEM I DON'T DO SO AT HOME! I AM CLEAN AND TIDY BUT DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF AND AM KNOWN FOR MY SENSE OF HUMOUR. I'D IDEALLY LIKE TO LIVE WITH SOMEBODY WHO IS OPEN-MINDED, RESPECTFUL, WARM, TIDY AND ABLE TO COMMUNICATE IN A MATURE WAY. SENSE OF HUMOUR IS AN ADDED BONUS!I WOULD LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU: LYNEHAMCHALET@GMAIL.COM
