Note from the editor

A

t Domain, very little of what matters in the realm of bricks and mortar gets past us. As such, we have come to know real estate agents across Victoria and their intriguing back stories. Agents have a recognisable and active role in the community, not unlike the local pharmacist, baker and post-office master of the good old days. Weekly, we’ll meet an agent in our new column, Open Home, which starts in this edition. What makes these professionals tick, in a highpressure industry in which they must be part-counsellor, part-finance guru, with a dash of UN-level negotiation skills, is fascinating. Our feature story this week looks at those special homes that are handed from one generation of a family to the next, and how the market reacts when these rare properties finally hit the market.

rom the disgruntled sibling leaving dishes in the sink on auction day to the elderly owner barracking for a particular family to win her family holiday home of more than 50 years, “it’s all emotional”, Kay & Burton’s Liz Jenkins says.

Having walked and worked the beaches of well-to-do Sorrento and Portsea for 25 years, Jenkins is more aware than most of the complex psychology behind selling homes that have been in one family for decades.

It’s crucial to have the trust of vendors, she says, in what agents refer to as a thin market: the narrow peninsula is notorious for tightly held properties and limited stock.

So, when a generational home does become available, good agents do everything to ensure a smooth sale.

Even if that means doing the dishes.

“There was one substantial cliff-top property and certain members of the

family, who had the least ability to purchase it ... and yet enjoyed it the most, had a resistance to selling it,” Jenkins says. “On the day of the auction, they made their point clear by leaving their porridge dishes in the sink. It’s not the first or the last time that I’ll see that.”

Holiday houses are one thing, but are there family homes being passed from one generation to the next as primary residences? In Toorak, you’d think there would be plenty. Not so, says RT Edgar’s Jeremy Fox. “I haven’t had any direct experience [of that]. It’s something that would happen behind the scenes, without an agent involved.” Fox says while this could be more likely in the commercial market, people hang on to large family homes here because stamp duty costs are so prohibitive.

Nelson Alexander’s Peter Stephens started selling real estate in the inner north 30 years ago. Around then, he remembers two brothers who inherited a large property. They never married, lived together and sold their inherited rental portfolio for income. “But [otherwise], not so much,” he says. “We don’t see it so much any more.”

While hand-me-down homes might be more common in the country and by the sea, in the city the higher turnover of stock and complications with multiple siblings make it less

common, he says. So, are there any old family homes left in Melbourne?

Kay & Burton’s Scott Patterson says suburbs in the eastern “school belt” are the places to look. “It’s an area where there are what I call ‘generational homes’ that have been held in the same family often for 40, 50 or 60 years.

“The most extreme example that comes to mind is one I sold last year at Sackville Street in Kew. That had been in the same family for 100 years.” It eventually sold at private auction for $8.25 million. “It was barely liveable,” Patterson says. “[Yet] It had a very old sun room lean-to extension on one side of the house. It was so well preserved, it was quite incredible.”

Hawthorn, Patterson says, has more of these properties than others, with streets to look out for including Lisson Grove, Wattle Road, Hawthorn Grove, Kinkora Road and Chrystobel Crescent.

This elegant Victorian terrace is on the market for the first time in 40 years. In a leafy enclave close to where Canterbury Road hugs Albert Park Lake, the property – Kerferd House – is a family oasis within striking distance of the city, Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre and vibrant Albert Park village shopping and cafes. A welcoming, open flow is established from the entry, with a lounge room opening to the porch and the private, verdant garden. A sun-lit, substantial family and meals area unfolds to the paved rear garden. Period flourishes feature alongside a respectful update, with classic elements – such as a full-width main bedroom balcony – speaking to its fine heritage.

Median is still too high Why is that? Despite the muchtalked-about end of Sydney’s property price growth, the city’s median house price remains north of $1.15 million.

Even a hefty 10 per cent fall from peak to trough would only take Sydney’s median back to September 2016 levels – and that’s still too high for many.

With modest falls – but no collapse in sight for prices, a large number of Sydneysiders are simply clearing out of town.

“In Victoria, ACT, Queensland and Tasmania, where house prices are relatively lower, the net interstate migration has remained positive,” ANZ senior economist Cherelle Murphy points out in the March quarter ANZ Stateometer Report.

“Despite modest declines in house prices, NSW’s mean price remains above the $1 million mark and the highest in Australia,” Murphy says.

“Combined with still-low wages growth, the state is losing some attractiveness.”

Prices fuel movement And while Melbourne would typically be the go-to destination for the Australian resettlers, the morethan $900,000 median house price there has resulted in other capital cities appearing more welcoming to buyers.

he house-price boom may be over, but Sydney’s eye-watering property market is still chasing droves of people out of the city – and out of the state – and into the open arms of Victoria, the ACT, Tasmania and Queensland.

Overseas arrivals continue to boost all state and territory populations, but established Australians are increasingly giving up on Sydney in search of greener pastures, with new economic analysis from ANZ pointing out that NSW’s net interstate migration is running its biggest loss since 2012.

“Queensland has been one of the main beneficiaries of the flow of people leaving NSW,” according to Murphy.

“Recent data suggest that as Brisbane housing becomes more affordable (compared with Sydney), interstate movement out of NSW grows,” she says. “If house prices fall further in Sydney, this trend could be reversed, but history suggests that this is some time away.”

and Melbourne property markets might have seen headlines about falling prices and been hopeful that their opportunity was on the way, but those hopes may now be fading.

Minor falls predicted Most economists predict only minor falls in both cities before house-price growth gradually returns to positive territory – no crash appears to be in sight. Commonwealth Bank senior

“In Victoria, ACT, Queensland and Tasmania, where house prices are relatively lower ... migration has remained positive.” - CHERELLE MURPHY Growing population Meanwhile, the ACT economy is also “absorbing some of New South Wales’ strength”, according to ANZ, with the report pointing out that Canberra’s workforce is happily soaking up a growing population and the city is lifting its infrastructure spend to keep up. Non-home-owners who are keen to get into the Sydney

economist Gareth Aird expects prices to drop by between three per cent and six per cent in Sydney and Melbourne by the end of 2018, which would result in Sydney prices falling 7.5 per cent from their peak and Melbourne giving up just five per cent.

“As always, context is key,” Aird says. “A fall in prices in Sydney of 10 per cent from peak to trough would take them back to their September 2016 level,” he says.

“And a fall of around 7.5 per cent in Melbourne from peak to trough would take prices back to their December 2016 level.”

Current weakness is not enough The house-price boom took prices so high that the weakness now seen isn’t enough to provide an opportunity for Sydney and Melbourne locals, which is part of the reason that NSW is having people stream out of its borders to other states.

As property markets continue to push and pull Australians, expect plenty more in Australia’s biggest cities to pack their bags.

f you’re up for a new house and want the cheapest, most expedient route to getting one, then stop reading here because numerous construction companies operating in nuovo suburbia will give you an offthe-peg, mass-produced product that one architect refers to as “the Kmart house type”.

If you want a more individual home that you’ll probably live in for a decade – at least; that will have spaces to subliminally enhance your sense of wellbeing; and vamped market appeal, then go to an architect or credentialled building designer.

Highly trained spatial experts, architects spend six years at university and more as interns, learning how to do all of the above and more. And if you haven’t worked with an architect before, fear not: it can be easier and less financially onerous than you think. Plus, it’s a move that has a multiplicity of other dividends.

As blue-chip realtor Sam Gamon, of Chisholm & Gamon, tells it, “the term ‘architect-designed’ is an affirmation that adds to the buyer pool because it gives confidence.”

Gamon says, “if buyers see something thoughtful and well designed with a good floor plan, they’ll definitely pay good money”.

If that well-designed property has a “name” architect attached it can carry weight because it’s part of the brand story, he says.

While that’s a boon for selling your property, most architects concentrate on making a shelter you’ll want to keep because, as Nick Russo of

Branch Studio Architects explains, it looks, and perhaps more importantly, feels so right.

Architecture is experienced not only by the eyes but in a kinaesthetic way. The body has keen if subconscious proprioception of its near surrounds.

This is the sense of feeling comfortable and “at home”, or unsatisfied and unsettled. How is that so? Russo suspects it’s because

“we are wired to enjoy the company of nice things”.

Russo implies that this includes a suite of elements including lovely materials, a marvellous quality of natural light, sustainable performance and all-round good proportions. “How do you put a price on the way a space makes you feel?”

Russo asks. “A space is more than four walls. A good space can improve your mental health and wellbeing.

It demonstrates how a concrete building of two levels (three if you count the basement garage) can become a light and lovely home without become becoming a tunnel of claustrophobia.

“The flipped program that put the bedrooms underneath, almost in subterranean spaces, and the 3.9-metre-wide main living room that steps in from the eastern boundary, feels bigger because of the highlight windows,” architect Steve Koolloos says.

In that slightly bent room, he explains, “where all the design is bespoke but the materials like the ply cabinetry is off the shelf, there is an expanded sense of space because on both sides you can see the sky”.

Here in three dimensions and with a quantity of daylight that surprised even its designer, is the affirming case for why relying on an architect can DOUGLAS FROST

be such a worthwhile exercise.

Architecture, as Koolloos says, “has a great ability to envisage the outcome and then go about crafting the design in a way that ensures a high-calibre result”. mckarchitects.com

He explains: “Everything relates to everything, materially and environmentally and it’s nicely detailed and beautifully made”.

That’s it folks: that, in essence, is the long-term value of wonderful, original, interesting architecture.

As Russo says, “good architecture is about maximising the outcome”.

Accessible architecture Nine years ago, Melbourne architect Robert Harwood started My Architect, a company that offered a staged process of design services, from concept discussion and first draft drawings right through to planning permits, construction costing and supervision, to the lockup realisation and then, even onto the landscaping.

It allowed people who had never connected with the profession an easy place of entree.

Demystifying what it is that architects actually do – “which is strategic thinking and keeping it all simple” – Harwood says, was the rationale of a company that now has “a boutique team of eight or nine

“When you’re in a house that’s not right; that has flabby spaces and is what we call ‘a fat house’ because the scaling is all wrong, it’s like being with someone who is singing out of key.” Architecture is not a short-term commodity, his practice partner Brad Wray, says.

“Its value and benefit is the total of the design process. Good architecture is all thought through and on every project since we started, we’ve both really enjoyed pushing the budget and working out how we can best tailor our best approach to the budget.”

An example Branch makes for the proposition that architects are often talented aesthetic value-add merchants is a rammed earth main bedroom pavilion extension to a Westernport home that looks like a million dollars but was costed at barely a third of that “It’s got quality,” says Wray.

My Architect breaks down and prices projects in eight to 10 stages to a finished product.

Harwood says that the majority of opt-in, opt-out clients take the firststage option of a $1550, two-hour concept meeting that discusses the client vision, and helps them put a frame and budget constraints around the idea.

“That’s a really low-cost but useful stage because it gets them going on the road,” he says.

About 25 per cent of starting clients build a bespoke home that chances are, Harwood says, they’ll live in for more than 10 years. “It is custom built and has considered every detail of their lifestyle,” he says.

Ned’s Bake general manager John Thompson says South Yarra is a very accessible suburb.

“It’s got great land, fantastic clients and a local council that is a true leader in its field and an architectural practice and interior design practice that is right on the cutting edge,” he says.

Respected landscape designer Paul Bangay has created a garden arbour that leads to a double-height foyer of glass, stone and stucco.

This grand entrance is befitting of the luxury at Fawkner House, which is expected to attract wealthy downsizers and professionals.

It’s this exact demographic for which South Yarra is renowned.

But John Thompson, general manager of nearby cafe Ned’s Bake, says the suburb is no longer home just to ladies who lunch.

“The area draws a lot of tourists for the shopping and dining scene. We also have people who have travelled widely and who have a great balance of business and life. So it’s a very broad demographic.”

From the street, East Grove bears a prominent trio of discreet screening, charcoal bricks and off-white terracotta panels. Through the facade, the architectural team at Ewert Leaf has created a harmonious theme of simplicity and beauty.

This is complemented by the greenery atop the building and at street level, all designed by John Patrick Landscape Architects.

Elegance continues inside, where the 25 two and three-bedroom apartments come with neutral tones and natural textures.

Location is a major advantage, with Gardiner train station a four-minute walk away and a stop for tram number 72 directly at the doorstep.

Renovation revelations

I

David Smyth ZAN WIMBERLEY / DESIGN SUZANNE GORMAN / ART EDIT MAGAZINE

t’s universally understood that renovations are not easy, and it takes perseverance and commitment to gain a result. So what is the best way to manage your expectations, decisions, costs, build and tradespeople? Some industry experts offer invaluable insight.

Ben Johnson Director of Benedict Design

Johnson and his wife recently renovated their apartment, where they’d been living for two years.

“Having two designers living in a space before renovating meant there was a huge amount of planning, discussion, arguments, big ideas and budgeting.” A building project involves time, cost and quality.

Smyth and Smyth Architects

The recommendation of a good builder is high on Smyth’s priority list and the architect’s role provides the strong link between the client’s aspirations and the implementation.

“Without this assistance clients would be leaving everything up to interpretation,” Smyth says.

Budget and brief alignment are the first big step.

Sarah Jayne Marriott Sarah Jayne Studios

‘‘Unfortunately you cannot have all three,” Johnson says. “You need to decide which two are the most important to you and prepare to sacrifice on the third.”

“Hiring the right team is one of the most important aspects of a renovation’s success. Providing contractors with the correct information eliminates the unknowns. Getting help from

professionals to help in this process saves time, money and stress,” she says. Expect that things might not always go as you had expected.

Suzanne Gorman Studio Gorman

Gorman recommends costing all elements before the build and leaving a contingency. “Staying on track for budget is about planning and spreadsheets – there is no shortcut. If you change your mind as you go along, that is fine too, but don’t expect it to be free. Decide how much you want it and if you do, pay and enjoy – no regrets.”

bold yellow. From golden egg-yolk hues, to green-tinged citrine, yellow was favoured at Vitra’s Typecasting exhibit, and at Hemma, the Swedish Design Exhibit, where it was on walls, carpets, and upholstery.

Expect to see it filtering into Australian homes during the next 12 to 18 months. It is a powerful accent colour, and an easy addition to white and neutral schemes.

THE NEW PINK Millennial pink has not yet retired, however exhibitors in Milan pointed towards richer,

coverings, homewares, kitchen and bathroom design.

Beyond the commercial fair, the city comes alive with a public program of more than 1300 satellite events and installations known as Fuorisalone (literally meaning “outside the fair”).

BURGUNDY Last year was a big year

Not surprisingly, various shades of purple made an appearance across the fair, although in slightly more muted forms. Dusty lilac tones were prominent for surface coverings and upholstery. At Moroso’s standout exhibit, deep mauve walls were paired with glossy red accents, with spectacular results.

Various travertine finishes were seen across tabletops, seating and occasional furniture, and a new range of beautiful sculptural objects by Australian designer Henry Wilson.

TERRAZZO Terrazzo is still with us.

Another nod to the 1970s, this eclectic composite material has been creeping into contemporary Australian interiors during the past two years, and isn’t likely to go away any time soon. In Milan, one standout was the Radical Fake desk

by Patricia Urquiola for Cappellini – created using a new “faux” terrazzo, designed for longevity.

Trend / Pattern GRID Grid-like patterns were across various exhibits, but none quite so impressively as the Hermes exhibit at the Museo Della Permanente. The iconic French brand presented new homewares collections, textiles and wallpaper in a maze of towering, tiled structures, entirely clad in small square earthenware tiles.

efore European settlement, Australia’s Indigenous population was sustained by an array of edible natives. These plants flourished from the coast to the deserts to our rainforests, keeping communities well supplied with delicious and nutritious seasonal produce.

And before the colony could establish farms, Europeans enjoyed them as well.

Historian Jacqui Newling, in her fascinating book Eat Your History (NewSouth Books), documents how quandongs (a type of native peach), Davidson’s plum, warrigal greens, finger limes and Lemon Myrtle were all used by early colonists in jams, preserves, chutneys, cordials and stews.

There are more than 5000 varieties of ‘bush tucker’ found in Australia, but most are not commercially grown due to challenges with market demand and supply.

Fortunately, there’s been a resurgence of interest in native foods largely driven by their delicious taste, superior nutrition, environmental benefits and their use by high-profile chefs such as Kylie Kwong.

And the good news for home gardeners is that many bush edibles will grow well in home gardens – even in pots. Source your seedlings and root stock from a nursery specialising in natives or from online garden clubs such as Diggers.

Here are a few to try:

Warrigal greens

We’re growing a healthy finger-lime tree in a pot on the Wayside Chapel rooftop garden in Sydney’s Potts Point.

I’m an ambassador for the Wayside and we run garden classes for our homeless visitors.

Finger-lime trees are a rainforest tree with a thick, bushy appearance and spiky thorns.

They can tolerate cold but don’t like wind and there are dozens of varieties to choose from, with fruit that varies in colour and flavour.

The finger-shaped fruit pods contain vesicles packed with pearls of citrusy juice – perfect with seafood.

Grow your tree in a one-metre-deep pot, putting down a perlite layer first and then add well-composted potting mix and feed regularly with citrus food.

You should see your first crop after the first year.

Lemon Myrtle is another native tree species that grows well in the garden or a large pot. Its leaves (as the name suggests) have a wonderful lemony aroma and can be dried for teas or used to flavour cordials or desserts.

It grows well in sub-tropical climates and likes a nutrient-rich soil and a wind-protected sunny position.

Needs only occasional watering once established. Harvest the leaves as required.

Warrigal greens (or New Zealand spinach) grow well from cuttings or from seed. You can source seeds online from Diggers.

They spread as a ground cover quite rapidly, so growing in containers is recommended.

They love the sun and good soil but since they grow naturally in coastal areas, warrigal greens will do well in poorer soils. The most important thing to remember is that because the leaves contain oxalates, they need to be blanched before eating.

ny game of word association won’t take too long to bring up the name Jeff Kennett in relation to Surrey Hills. The former Liberal premier is indelibly associated with the suburb, and even glancing familiarity with the area’s wide streets lined with mature European trees will reveal the likely source of his affections.

Eleven kilometres from the CBD, Surrey Hills is one of the exemplars of Melbourne’s much-touted “leafy east”. It’s a pocket of privilege where

the median house price has reached $2 million and the median weekly household income of $2235, recorded in the 2016 census, is far higher than the $1419 Victorian average.

Surrey Hills was given its name by a group of real estate agents wearing their PR hats in the late 19th century.

The English association doubles down with a section of streets between Canterbury and Riversdale roads, known as the English Counties precinct, where streets have names such as Norfolk, Kent,

Middlesex and Essex. A solid mix of Victorian and Edwardian homes, with the odd California bungalow and modern build thrown into the mix, inhabit typically substantial blocks with well-kept gardens.

Highlights in the public domain include the English-styled Surrey Park and the more rambling South Surrey Park, running alongside Back Creek, which has been planted with indigenous grasses, shrubs and trees by a local volunteer group.

The suburb is rich in public

transport options and the shopping has improved recently, with the revitalisation of Surrey Hills’ village.

The shopping strip between Canterbury and Mont Albert roads has new developments comprising a mix of residential and retail, along with the all-important cafes making Surrey Hills an even more comfortable place to live.
