We are a family of five moving to France for 5 months to have a break from work and to experience living in another country. We are looking for a tenant who will look after our home while we're away.

There is gas-power hydronic heating and reverse cycle air conditioning for heating and cooling throughout the house. The modern extension at the rear of the house is fully double glazed. A copy of the floor plan is available on request.

It is surrounded by good public transport, cafes, shops and a choice of excellent public schools. It is about 12 minutes by bike or car to the University of Melbourne.
