Note from the editor

T

he romance of autumn gives us cause for a celebratory cover. Given the heat of late, the change of season is as welcome as a home-prepared meal from a Yotam Ottolenghi cookbook after a week of frozen dinners from the supermarket. Dappled skies and the amber and scarlet flush of turning leaves – Melbourne is sensational at this time of year. Our New Living cover, showing the rich tones of autumn in garden designer Paul Bangay’s studio courtyard, provides a splendid sense of the majesty this season will bring. Bangay’s gardening column, on this occasion bringing to life the carefully considered planting in the courtyard and on his elegant Stonefields estate, is thick with tips for green thumbs. In the residential section, we feature an edit of the best homes on the early autumn market.

On a diamond-shaped piece of land, at the end

of a cul-de-sac in one of Australia’s most prestigious neighbourhoods, sits a glamorous home with perfect polish.

The single-level residence was completely renovated in 2010 by its current owners, who engaged Stoll Long Architecture to create a contemporary and light-filled family home.

Full-height windows, soaring ceilings and gallery-like walls are real showstoppers, while the pool and spa enveloped in lush landscaping by landscape architect Jack Merlo has made the north-west-facing outdoor spaces as chic as the indoor areas.

Entertain guests in the spacious formal dining room and living area, which has pared-back bluestone features and a pebble gas fireplace.

When the last of those guests have left, there are plenty of home comforts to be found, from the master suite with terrace access, dressing room and sleek Grigio Armani marble en suite, to the theatre room and study.

Smart buying is all in the details

H

Where to begin Due diligence should start before identifying a property to buy, and the key is understanding the objective of the purchase, according to Wakelin Property Group director Jarrod McCabe.

“If you’re looking at things from an investment perspective, your approach is going to be very different from an owner-occupier,” he says.

McCabe says owner-occupiers should consider how long they intend to live in a property and its suitability over that period. Investors, on the other hand, should be targeting properties that see demand from multiple buyer-types to maximise the chance of price and rental growth.

Buyer’s agent and New Fandangled Properties director Lesley Gregg says most buyers underestimate the financial implications of a property purchase.

“People work out the maximum they can borrow and go shopping for a house based on that,” she says.

“Often what’s missing is the financial due diligence.”

Gregg says owner-occupiers often overlook stress-testing their financial situation and fail to consider whether holding a property might become less affordable if household income or interest rates change. She says investors often failed to forecast cash flow, and overlooked key costs like land tax.

FRANK MAIORANA

ome buyers are commonly encouraged to undertake due diligence before a property purchase. But what does this term really mean, and how should it fit into the buying process?

Due diligence is the investigation of every aspect of a property that could affect its value and suitability as a home or investment.

Unfortunately for many buyers, due diligence involves little more than a building and pest inspection and contract review. These steps are essential, but only form part of the process.

Investigate features and potential A common concern for buyers is when properties are marketed with rooms that may not be considered habitable, according to property lawyer and Real Estate Escapes author Tim O’Dwyer.

Bedrooms and rumpus rooms in basements or attics could fall into this category, as low ceilings or a lack of windows mean these spaces may be considered storage rooms under local council regulations.

“It would only take a few days to get a qualified person to look over your block and give you a report on what is actually possible,” she says.

Avoid deal breakers Buyers should be on the lookout for red flags that may raise concerns with lenders, according to McCabe.

“You do need to take account of what the bank might frown upon,” he says.

Lenders factor in a degree of risk when determining acceptable loan-

“Take advantage of the market and the opportunity to view as many properties as possible.” - LESLEY GREGG This could cause problems further down the track.

“From time to time problems arise when there has been an insurance claim, and insurance companies will use that as a reason not to honour a claim,” O’Dwyer says.

Gregg says investors planning to develop a property need to understand its limitations and possibilities before buying.

to-value ratios, and lend a smaller portion of the purchase price if a property could take longer to sell than comparable homes.

McCabe says common culprits are company title apartments, as well as properties in suburbs that banks deem to be oversupplied.

“You may find they were prepared to lend you 80 per cent of the purchase price but if you go to them with a company title property, they might only give you 50 or 60 per cent.”

Negotiate more time Homes sold at auction aren’t subject to a cooling-off period, but softer market conditions and lower clearance rates mean vendors selling privately may be more flexible on terms, according to Gregg.

“There might be a little bit more opportunity to negotiate in the current market,” she says. “It’s a great opportunity for people to buy at the right price.”

She says most people don’t dedicate enough time to the process and often make quick decisions they regret. She encourages buyers to always negotiate a seven-to-14-day due diligence period into the contract.

High stock levels can also give buyers more choice, meaning decisions don’t need to be rushed.

Gregg’s advice?

“Take advantage of the market and the opportunity to view as many properties as possible, and really find the gems.”

HOUSE OF THE WEEK B y LO U SWE E N E Y

Need to know: The property was last sold for $2.8 million in July 2015 and the highest recorded house price for Fitzroy (last 12 months) was $3.74 million for 32 Gore Street in September, 2018.

Recent sales $1.305 million 74 Alexandra Parade, December, 2018

L

ong gone are the days of whiling away an afternoon over a pot at the Punters before a $6 spag bol at Bakers. Fitzroy’s a different place these days, but this tiny inner suburb still finds a place for everyone and everything.

Wander the back streets and you’ll still find the old row-housing cheekby-jowl under the rugged plane trees; you’ll also see many contemporary homes converted from the factories that once dotted the laneways.

In Little Victoria Street you’ll find this sublime place. Once a military drill hall, it now accommodates a number of elegant, contemporary spreads behind its brawny facade.

Number 41 begins with a gorgeous formal sitting room – all travertine floors and light filtering through from the large windows to the central courtyard. In front is a roomy garage and workshop.

A glorious passage is lined with floor-to-ceiling windows opening on to that central garden with stepping stones that hop across a stream.

The double-height ceilings of the rear living/dining/kitchen space mean the light can bounce around, illuminating the contrasting brickwork on the dramatic hearth and the white-washed eastern wall.

The kitchen appliances are top notch and two wide benches, topped with Zimbabwean black stone, look as handsome as they are functional.

Sitting around to the side there’s more storage as well as a butler’s pantry and a laundry.

Upstairs is just as striking. A gorgeous, bright study leads to an entertainment deck with glimpses of the ranges. A terrific bedroom also has access to that balcony deck.

Past an impressive bathroom is the incredible main bedroom.

Here, hanging gallery-like over the living area, you get space and light and views. There are vast storage areas and a contemporary en suite.

Sure, Fitzroy’s changed but you’ll still find all types here, including these modern marvels.

or most gardeners, the month of March cannot come fast enough – it means the end of summer and the start of a much kinder season for gardens.

The days start to get shorter and cooler and this causes the movement of sugars in deciduous trees to start the colouring process of the leaves.

I plant trees mostly for their form, size and their ability to provide shade but it's always an added bonus if they flower or colour in autumn.

When it comes to choosing a tree for autumn colour, it's important to select one that is appropriate for the size of your garden, and luckily they come in all sizes.

When creating the small courtyard at my design studio, I was conscious of the need for the garden to look spectacular in all seasons.

allow the courtyard to feel part of the internal space of the room.

The garden was created using lightweight polystyrene planters.

Given it is on the first floor, no natural soil existed and weight loading was an issue. The planting scheme for these planters was carefully chosen for summer green and autumn colour.

Given the limited size, I chose Acer palmatum “Atropurpureum”, commonly referred to as purple Japanese maple, as the main corner feature trees and weeping Japanese maple – Acer palmatum var. “dissectum Atropurpureum” – as specimens in pots and planters.

The maples are perfect for both large and small gardens and come in a range of sizes and colours. They grow well in nearly all states of Australia, preferring some afternoon shade in the hotter summer areas.

During a recent trip to Japan I was inspired to see how the Japanese prune them by thinning out the centre of the trees, thus creating a more open and sculptural tree.

The maples helped enormously to bring down the scale of the high walls of my courtyard to eye level. To break up the imposing mass of the walls, I covered them in Parthenocissus tricuspidata, better known as Boston ivy.

This is an extremely fast growing creeper that clings to the walls without the need of supports.

People often worry about the deciduous nature of this creeper but its tracery of sculptural branches in the winter are, for me, just as interesting.

The layering of rustic tones from the maples and Boston ivy is magical.

In the woodland at Stonefields I wanted as much autumn colour as possible and, given the large scale of this garden, I was able to use the larger growing Acer saccharum, known as sugar maples.

These are spreading trees that grow to about 24 metres in height. They have been bred primarily for their spectacular autumn colour. However, they do require water in the summer months, so plant them only if you have water available.

Mixed with these, I planted the taller and more conical shaped Quercus palustris, or pin oak – they colour at a slightly different time to the maples which extends the season.

The pin oaks are tougher and require less water and they are a different shade of autumnal red.

The Pyrus genus, or pear tree, is another colourful and versatile group of autumn colouring trees.

They grow in most eastern states of Australia and have the added bonus of masses of white spring blossom.

I favour them in inner-city gardens due to their less vigorous root systems and adaptability; look out for all varieties of Pyrus calleryana, known as callery pear, as its foliage turns a range of brilliant hues. paulbangay.com

he luxury apartment market for downsizers continues to go from strength to strength. The trend is strongest in the affluent suburbs of Melbourne, where upmarket developments are quick to replace clutches of ageing houses.

“They have an expectation that the end product is a reflection of what they’ve been living in prior to that.”

These views are important to home owners who have ditched the upkeep of a backyard, but enjoy the serenity of a garden. Another appealing

factor will be the sheer size of the apartments, some of which measure well over 200 square metres.

“We’ve tried to make the living spaces as large and expansive as possible to allow them to bleed out from the inside to external terraces to make you almost feel like the park is part of your living space.”

At popular local cafe Our Kitchen Table, owner Kevin Wheeler has noted the increase of empty-nesters walking through the door.

“There’s a lot of downsizers, a lot of older retired people who are moving

into the area or those who already live in the area and moving into nearby apartments,” he says.

Together with wife Natalie, Wheeler has run the cafe for 11 years. While serving up breakfast and lunch, as well as providing a catering service, the pair have seen the demographics shift to older age brackets.

Now the kids have moved out, it’s time to think about a home designed for your new lifestyle needs.

Whether you’re wanting a wine cellar, integrated lift or a chef’s kitchen, a custom built Comdain home gives you modern, low maintenance living, coupled with timeless elegance that’s uniquely yours.

evelopers at M-City have saved the best for last with the release of M4, a set of 41 luxury terrace apartments.

The Clayton apartments, which come in one, two or three-bedrooms, are the final instalment in the $400 million masterplanned community taking shape in Clayton.

Compared to the M1, M2 and M3 releases, which will all house more than 130 apartments, M4 is less dense and offers roomy floor plans.

Residents will have exclusive access to a pool, landscaped gardens and tennis court, as well as an outdoor entertaining area with barbecues and a fire pit.

But residents at M4, also known as The Terraces, will also take advantage of all the large precinct has to offer. This includes 60 stores – among them Woolworths and Kmart – plus a cinema, restaurants, childcare, a hotel and offices.

Prices start at $380,000 for onebedroom apartments.

Bland to grand for small change

hile I’ve worked on many multi-million-dollar projects, one of the things closest to my heart in the design realm is making a silk purse out of a sow’s ear, figuratively speaking.

My latest penny pinching project was carried out at a beach shack we rent out in beautiful Hyams Beach in Jervis Bay, New South Wales. It’s a diamond in the rough but in one of the most beautiful locations in the country; although to say the home didn’t live up to its surroundings would be an understatement.

Here are my top transformations that delivered the biggest bang for our buck.

Floor planning First and foremost, the best thing you can do is make sure the floor plan is the best use of space possible.

This house is a five-bedroom property with three bathrooms and was sleeping up to 16 people at a time.

The downstairs space was carved up to create a large living and cinema space capturing views to the beautiful bushland behind, and a hallway was added along the front of the building, creating a light and airy entrance to the house.

This simple reconfiguration allowed for a new master bedroom with an en suite to be created downstairs.

Improving the floor plan allowed for better amenity for guests as well as a lighter, brighter and more open feeling to the house.

Complete harmony The next consideration should be the overall aesthetics of your home.

Choosing a style that suits you – or the occupants if not you and your family – and the geographic location and type of your home is paramount.

This house was a pretty easy problem to solve in terms of style.

It’s a beach shack and I wanted a relaxed beach feel.

Every great interior that works well and is pleasing to the eye has complementary and contrasting elements. My chosen palette was white, oak and VJ panelling. The oak, white and VJ panels were set against the minor contrasting pops of black in door hardware and lighting, with key furniture pieces adding to the contrasting punch of black.

Colour choice This is also an important consideration, even in a neutral palette. Here, I introduced colour onto the doors of each room with a eucalyptus-like colour from Haymes Paint called Chameleon.

These are crucial inclusions in any home, and one particularly featureless bedroom needed a simple and cost-effective upgrade to bring it in line with the rest of the property.

Catherine Martin wallpaper was used here as a feature wall, with another Haymes paint, a beautiful blue called Sorcerer, giving just the right amount of magic to lift the room and bring the space together.

Larger openings with sliding doors were furnished with roller blinds, electrically operated for a little extra pizzazz, all of which were supplied by Carpet Court, along with the vinyl plank flooring.

In short, the project was a successful one given its parameters and constraints and one that will continue to deliver for years to come, until the next phase of renovations can take place.

ore than many other Melbourne suburbs, Black Rock has its immediately recognisable calling cards.

There’s the orange-brick clocktower, which sticks jauntily up from the roundabout at the intersection of Beach and Balcombe roads, keeping the inhabitants of postcode 3193 running on time as well as providing a focal point for the bayside cyclists who time-trial their way from Port Melbourne to Black Rock and back.

Then there’s Half Moon Bay. One of Melbourne’s best beaches, it not only has a life saving club and pier, it’s bookended by the Red Bluff cliffs, which provide an excellent backdrop to fish and chips from the Cerberus Beach House kiosk.

Twenty kilometres south-east from Melbourne’s CBD, Black Rock is a popular destination for snorkellers thanks to its lush seagrass beds and rocky reefs that are home to a variety of underwater critters, with the

added attraction of the breakwater provided by the sunken wreck of Australia’s first ironclad warship, HMVS Cerberus.

Scuttled in 1926 to reduce the intensity of the waves on the beach in front of the Black Rock Yacht Club, the wreck is only about 180 metres from the shore.

Black Rock has become one of Melbourne’s prestige bayside suburbs, with prices jumping to just shy of $2 million for the average home. While it lacks the period houses of neighbour Sandringham, its primarily post-war construction saw it over-endowed with family homes on good-sized blocks.

Its golden triangle lies between Beach and Bluff roads, but part of its beauty lies in that unlike its bayside neighbours to the north, all of Black Rock has direct access to the bay, with no railway line getting in the way.
