A lovely stay in my Clayton South home to look after my 2 black cats whilst I take a trip away to be with family. I live in a sweet 1950s double fronted cottage with picket fence. Enjoy the beautiful sunset view from the dining room, you'll be walking distance to a lovely local park and further down (5kms) to Karkarook Park and lake for trout fishing! Home is in close proximity to a fruit and vegetable market with gorgeous local produce, fresh seafood and meat stores, Asian and Middle Eastern restaurants, leading supermarkets and buses and station is 1 km away. Surrounded by a diversely rich community of friendly people of Aussie, European Australian and Asian Australian cultures. The heart of Greek culture, Oakleigh, is the neighbouring suburb with every delicious souvlaki and cake shop imaginable. Local shopping strip is full of European and Asian bakeries, patisseries, gourmet delis, cafes, restaurants with international cuisine - Korean, Malaysian, Japanese, Italian, Vietnamese, Greek, Sri Lankan and more. House is 15 minutes drive from Chadstone and 20 minutes from Dandenong market. My home has polished floors, shaded back patio with outdoor dining and fragrant jasmine, Perfect for single person or a couple. Non smoker please. It's filled with books, design magazines and architecture and cook books, Bose speakers for your iphone music. I have Wi Fi, digital radio, a blue ray/dvd player, movies and very large screen smart TV with Netflix, Paramount.
Excellent quality queen size bed in a gorgeous bedroom shaded by a lilly pilly tree outside the window. Lovely crockery, espresso coffee machine, new gas stove and oven, brand new dishwasher, washing machine, gas hot water, central heating and evaporative cooling. Security doors. My home is suitable for someone who seeks a house for peace and aesthetics whilst having easy access to a friendly, diverse neighbourhood. A train ride away to the middle of the city with Federation Square, National Gallery, Museum. I have the best neighbours too. Home is about 20 minutes to the beach (Bayside) by car.
Pets & farm animals
BoBo - short haired 11 year old black cat who I rescued. Feeds thrice daily. Uses indoor litter tray. A little apprehensive at first but will lay next to you to nap. Loves to talk ALOT when you're feeding her or when you go to the loo. Prefers to touch you than be touched though she loves her head and chin scratched. Cuddly and is fiercely protective and you can feel the love. After 3 years, she's still jealous of little Isobel aka Schnitzel, Peanut, Pupusa my short haired 2 year black rescue cat. Both look like black panthers. Isobel is very active indoors, cheeky, talks (dramatically) a lot, thinks she’s still a rescue kitten baby. Feeds thrice daily. Cuddly after you've fed her and is loving and protective.
Both are adorable and love companionship.
STRICTLY INDOORS. Never permitted to go outside. They bird watch from the big windows.
