My house (renovated late 1800's workman's cottage) is a 20 minute walk from the CBD. It is 2 blocks from the South Melbourne Market and a 30 minute walk to Albert Park Lake. I have 2 Minature Schnauzers that require walking every day, 2 cats that just need a lap, a small outside aviary with zebra finches and a pond with an assortment of Gold fish. My house is extremely low maintenance with a small courtyard garden front and back.
