Description

We love our house, it's on the prettiest street, really quiet - but close to all the cafes/restaurants on Northcote High St and Fitzroy North. We'd love someone to enjoy it while we're in the UK for work in June and July this year. It's perfect for a young family - there's one cot in there at the moment - but we can always get another kids bed if needed. The garden is newly landscaped and so nice to hang out in. It has a little office we use as a radio studio. We have a car, that should be available.
