Passion for property Prime time to upgrade at heart of service

Top tips for home owners looking to move house smoothly.

Expect old-fashioned service at new boutique agency. By CARMELLE WILKINSON LYNN Steenholdt believes in good old fashioned service and that’s exactly what she aims to give clients at her boutique real estate agency in Cottesloe. Officially launched in October 2010, Lynn Steenholdt Residential specialises predominately in the western suburbs and along Perth’s coastal strip – both north and south. Lynn started her career with the real estate industry in 1977 after completing her Real Estate & Business Agent’s Licence at Perth Technical College. After running a successful agency with her partner south of the river in Attadale until 1992, Lynn decided to retire from the industry and spend more time with her family. “By this stage I was living in the western suburbs and my children were attending schools in the area.Throughout this time I kept abreast with the real estate industry, managing properties for family members,’’ she said. “In 2005, I decided that as my children were now grown-up, it was time for me to return to the real estate industry. “Years of dealing with other agents told me that the industry needed someone who could offer old-fashioned service and I felt I had a lot to offer. “I worked for another agent in Cottesloe for just over five years, in both property management and sales and built up a great business for my employer. “The desire to operate a real estate agency that offered old-fashioned service – in the way that I felt an agency should be managed – was too much for me to resist and when the opportunity presented itself, it was too good to pass up.” Lynn said senior property manager Karen Townrow had many years of experience and the pair had worked together for more than

Dynamic duo: Lynn Steenholdt and Karen Townrow.

three years, and make a very formidable team. “Karen’s ethos in the property management industry is unquestionable and she is a wonderful asset to the business,’’ she said. “We pride ourselves on being able to provide personal, professional and individual service to all our clients that is tailored to meet their needs. “Service to the clients seems to have been lost somewhere in the realms of time and we are committed to resurrecting this area of the industry to ensure that people feel that the importance of both themselves and their properties, as well as their tenants are afforded our utmost attention and are paramount.” Lynn said living and working in the area made a difference. “I prefer to operate within an area that I know so that I am well informed and keep abreast of what is occurring in the areas of my sphere of influence,’’ she said. Lynn and Karen stand by their motto,“your property is our passion”. Visit: http://www. lynnsteenholdtresidential.com/ ■

COMPETITIVE prices in the top end of the WA property market indicate now is an excellent time to upgrade. This week Professionals Real Estate Group CEO David Hobbs shares his top tips on what to consider when upgrading your property. “Over the last three months, we have received a rising level of interest from David Hobbs. people wanting to upgrade their home to take advantage of these competitive property prices and we expect this trend to increase during 2011,’’ he said. He advised home owners on the move to put in place an action plan to ensure that the process remains smooth. Key tips to consider include: 1. CHECK FINANCE Decide as early as possible if you can afford to buy your next home before selling your existing home. This is likely to involve extra short-term borrowing; however, you save on the cost of rental accommodation. This strategy mostly suits home owners who have significant equity in their existing home. 2.WHAT DO YOU LIKE As soon as you decide you want to relo-

cate, take an active interest in likely areas and properties that will suit your needs. When choosing properties for inspection, stay focused on the type of properties that suit your needs. 3. KEEP RECORD OF SELLING PRICES IN YOUR AREA Keep a close eye on the properties that are selling in your area. In particular, keep a record of the selling prices of similar properties to your own. Remember to focus on the selling price because this is the best guide to the probable value of your own property. 4. GET REPUTABLE HELP Make early contact with real estate agents in your area that are actively selling properties and discuss services that they offer. This will help you select the agent to assist with the sale of your own property. Select an agent that understands your objectives and provides an honest appraisal. 5. FAMILY FIRST Arrange a family conference as soon as possible and carefully discuss what each family member is expecting from moving house.

REVIEWS

It’s easy to love where you live Spacious and charming, with alfresco living at its very best, writes COURTNEY NOTTE IT comes as no surprise that the living areas of this home are owner Julie’s favourite feature. Open and spacious, pictures do not do their resort-style allure justice. Polished bamboo flooring, and a sophisticated colour scheme combine to create an aesthetic that is both modern and charming. Add to this, soaring ceilings and many large windows enhance the sense of space. An extensive use of glass, chiefly along two walls in the form of timber-framed glass stacking doors to the alfresco area, serves to integrate the indoor-outdoor living areas and facilitate a seamless flow between them. The alfresco area is outdoor living at its best and form is just as important as function. The wellequipped outdoor kitchen is complemented with stylish finishes

such as a metallic mosaic tiled splashback behind the barbecue. The limestone-retained splitlevel gardens feature a stacked rough-cut stone waterfall feature. Around the corner, glass safety partitions close off the pool area. A similar blade water feature with stone cladding spills into the pool and achieves a sense of symmetry in this space. The near-new Webb & BrownNeaves home comprises four bedrooms, two bathrooms, three formal living areas and the central, open-plan zone across the two levels. Topping it all off is a balcony to the first floor that captures panoramic ocean views. Extras include reverse-cycle ducted airconditioning, a security alarm, smart wiring and granite bench tops and stainless steel Ariston appliances to the kitchen. ■

Water view in all directions Nearby beaches and tropical lagoon-style pool a cool feature. By COURTNEY NOTTE YOU are surrounded by water in this five-bedroom family home, with beaches nearby and a tropical lagoon-style pool at the back. Tropical gardens shade the parts of the pool not protected by the large gable patio. A vine-covered pergola attached to the huge patio offers yet more undercover space for outdoor entertaining. In a quiet cul-de-sac location, it is ideal for a family. Five bedrooms and two bathrooms over two levels ensure new owners will not want for space. Downstairs, the tiled entrance hall branches off to the formal lounge and dining rooms, with columns to the open doorway. An exposed brick fireplace is a charming feature of these rooms,

and high, raked ceilings add a sense of space. A second storey cutaway wall overlooks the formal living rooms from the first floor landing. Exposed brick lends countrystyle charm to the spacious kitchen and adjoining casual meals area, with a wood heater on a brick hearth. Wood flooring updates the look of a big games room at the back, with a built-in bar. Three minor bedroom with built-in robes are also on the ground floor. Upstairs, an open-plan retreat area connects to the master bedroom, with a walk-in robe and split system airconditioner. It also has an ensuite with shower recess and single vanity unit. ■

Makeover ensures this home has top-level appeal Renovation and extension create space and outlook. By COURTNEY NOTTE CLEVERLY positioned corner windows capture ocean views from the master suite on the first floor of this renovated and extended home. The top level is a dedicated parents’ retreat, and ideally positioned for privacy away from the minor bedrooms and living areas on the ground floor. This second-storey addition was built to capitalise on the ocean view provided by the hilltop location. Being the only room on the top floor, space is no issue in the master bedroom, which has a walk-in wardrobe with built-in shelving and an ensuite with a modern vanity and a shower with frosted glass screens. Some original features have been

retained in the living areas on the ground floor, such as polished floorboards and high decorative ceilings with ornate cornices. Polished cork flooring extends from the entry foyer to the compact, well-equipped kitchen. There is ample storage and preparation space and, for ease of entertaining, it connects to the formal lounge and dining rooms. This living zone has a distinguished air, with polished jarrah floorboards and a fireplace with a built-in wood heater. White walls and complementary furnishings update the look of the room for a crisp, contemporary feel. Branching off a long hallway to the back room are the minor bedrooms,

with built-in wardrobes and a shared bathroom. A family can come together in the activity room at the back. It achieves a bright, open feel, thanks to high raked ceilings and glass sliding doors that overlook split-level landscaped gardens. Step up to a shady synthetic grassed area surrounded by established trees and next to a workshop with power connected. There is a lock-up garage with tandem parking for two cars and drive-through access to the workshop. It is on a 706sqm block close to parks, shops, beaches and Holy Rosary primary and Hale schools. ■

Quirky and cosy catch of the day This 1960s ‘beach shack’ has City Beach mansion potential, writes JANE EVANS IT will be bittersweet for selling agent Christopher Dee when this City Beach property goes under the hammer next month – his dad built the Boscombe Avenue home for the Dee family in 1964. The quirky beach shack is just three houses from the ocean with direct access at the end of the quiet cul-de-sac street. “There would often be 20 surfboards on our front lawn belonging to all the kids around the neighbourhood who would congregate here before heading down to the beach,” he said. Fifteen years ago, the home was sold to a long time friend of Mr Dee’s who is now relocating to

Floreat. With the exception of a few minor cosmetic changes to the property, including a new kitchen, the current owner has retained the original 1960s feel. The solid brick and tile dwelling comprises three bedrooms and two bathrooms and is on a 581sqm block. The location is second to none, with only 300 homes in the exclusive enclave. Mr Dee said that with several multi-million dollar homes under construction nearby, the potential exists to build something extraordinary on this highly sought-after block, and enjoy a cosy beach shack in the interim. ■

Immaculate home deserving of the dress circle Heaps of design and living perks make it perfect for relaxed family living. By COURTNEY NOTTE A NEWLY built gabled patio overlooks the pool, which has a water feature tiled in mosaic, at the back of this immaculately presented family home in a dresscircle location. Enjoy views of the water at the back and from the front, with the beach visible from the elevated entry portico. Limestone retained gardens with clipped hedges border the viewing platform, which also overlooks the park opposite. Its location close to Mindarie Marina and the ocean are just two perks in a long list of benefits that the home offers. It is impressive from the front, with a light textured rendered finish and contrasting roof tiles and window frames. A tall portico with an arched window makes it stand out from neighbouring houses. Inside, the combination of light and bright dĂŠcor, many large windows and high ceilings create a feeling of space and relaxed beachside ambience. A family can spread out overseveral living areas, including a media room with a raised viewing platform for an authentic theatre experience and a sunken games room. Elegantly appointed formal lounge and dining rooms at the front offer yet another living zone. The study, with its built-in work station, is just one of the main traffic areas that features practical and stylish vinyl wood-look flooring. It extends to the kitchen, which has a bulkhead ceiling, new granite bench tops, stainless steel Kleenmaid and Bosch appliances and an abundance of storage and preparation space. A recessed dome ceiling and glass doors to the alfresco area enhance the sense of space in the master bedroom, which connects to an open ensuite with a dual vanity featuring semi-recessed basins and a spa. The minor bedrooms share a bathroom with a long single vanity, a separate bath and a framed glass shower with a pivot door. Extras include ducted evaporative airconditioning, a security alarm system, a triple garage with a workshop space and direct access to the home, piped music to the alfresco area, automatic reticulation to the gardens and proximity to schools, shops, Mindarie Marina and beaches. It is on a 641sqm block. â&#x2013;

Guaranteed to be one of best This home is a testament to specialist skills and knowledge, writes COURTNEY NOTTE AS the director of prestigious builder Luxus Homes, the owner of this double-storey residence knows what people want in a luxury home, and how to make it happen. This house stands as testament to his reputable knowledge and skill, boasting a distinctive façade with limestone cladding to the portico entry, and high quality fittings and finishes throughout. An original feature that stands out is the built-in saltwater aquarium to the living areas, visible from the wide entry foyer. Set in floor-to-ceiling timber cabinetry, the tank acts as a stylish and unusual divider between the entry and the open-plan living zone. Building experience means the owner was able to complete a home that offers high quality at relatively low cost, especially considering its proximity to the beach. Travertine ceramic tiles flow throughout the ground floor, where a hallway branches off the entry to the minor bedroom wing. A study nook separates the bedrooms, which are serviced by a shared bathroom with a glass shower and four-door vanity. Tasmanian blackwood cabinetry and CaesarStone benchtops

ensure the kitchen is both stylish and functional. An overside canopy rangehood is suspended above the electric cooktop on the island bench. Miele appliances, such as a double oven and integrated two-drawer dishwasher with a Tasmanian blackwood finish, complete the kitchen. There is a dining area opposite. It connects to the cedar-lined patio, with an outdoor kitchen featuring a wine fridge and barbecue, and thanks to glass partitions, overlooks a lap pool with exposed aggregate surround. A living room upstairs, finished with polished Marri flooring, is ideal as a parents’ retreat. The ambient space features inset Tasmanian blackwood display cabinets and a gas fireplace. Glass doors open to the balcony, where you can relax with a glass of wine and enjoy the view to the coast. Plantation blinds adorn corner windows with a coastal aspect in the master suite. A big spa sits at one end of the enviable ensuite, opposite a double shower with a glass pivot door and stone-topped dual vanity. A walkin robe with sensor lighting is accessible from the bathroom. ■
