Old mates pool their talent
Nailing that north coast block
Coffee the catalyst for new business partnership. By JANE EVANS
It’s a land of opportunity ... but do your homework
IT’S not every day you have coffee with an old friend and he offers you a job on the spot. But when Peter Clements and James Francis-Hayes, both of William Porteous Properties International, caught up after several years, the timing for a new partnership couldn’t have been better. Already established as one of the western suburbs’ premier real estate agents, Peter asked James to come on board as a buyers’ specialist. It’s not the first time the two have worked together, though; Peter used to manage the Claremont Hotel (formerly The Continental) and James worked the door. Ten years on, the two reconnected at a property course and met for a coffee at Cimbalino’s the next morning. “I think I rang him at 9am, eager to meet up and get some advice,” James said. “About an hour later, I had a new job.” With James now working alongside him, Peter says the
THE opportunity to create a dream home along Perth’s prestigious north coast is incredible. This week Tristan Kirkham from New Home Building Brokers shares his top tips for buying land along this prominent space. 1. KNOW WHAT YOU ARE BUYING: Looks can be deceptive. Have the block of land surveyed before settlement; this clearly identifies all boundaries to avoid any possible disputes with neighbours. It also confirms services and area of the block. 2. HIDDEN COSTS IN SITE WORKS: Don’t be fooled into thinking your site costs will be minimal. Blow-out of sites works is one of the biggest complaints to the building registration board. Even experts cannot always tell what site works will be until some time after you have your plans back from council. Be sure you have allowed sufficient funds to cover site costs and seek an independent consultant. 3. UNLOCKING A HIDDEN GEM: Don’t discount a block that has sat on the market for a long period of time. It may have some very overwhelming issues. Understanding the potential has proved to be the key to the reason our clients

difference is in the quality of service they offer their clients. “James really cultivates a relationship with current and prospective clients and spends time finding out what it is we can do for them,” Peter said. “It allows us to both be more hands-on, and be in two places at once, which is fantastic when one of us needs to show someone through a home and the other needs to be writing up an offer,” he said. As both men come from

varying backgrounds in hospitality, the military and sales, each brings something different to the new partnership. “James is softening me a bit, I think,” Peter said. “Every agent gets to a stage where they’ve become a bit burnt-out so if I’m a bit short and sharp, James steps in and is much chattier.” The duo sell homes from $500,000 to $6 million, mainly in Claremont, Nedlands, Cottesloe, Mosman Park, Dalkeith and Mt Claremont. ■
created the dream without paying over the top. Remember, these blocks sitting on the market aren’t all over-priced, they just have some issues to navigate past. 4. COASTAL CONDITIONS: The north coastal areas can have a massive impact on building costs due to salt and wind conditions. The BCA (Building Codes of Australia) specifies additional requirements for building in coastal areas. Some of these are sarking to roof cover, stainless steel wire ties, galvanised steel beams and lintels and upgrading of window frames. 5. SUSTAINABLE LIVING FEATURES: The ideal orientation for a block is to be able to have the living areas and large windows ace north and to have minimal windows to the east and west and the long axis of the home within 15 degrees east or west of north. Given the new BCA changes coming in 2011, this is now a very important consideration when purchasing a block of land or even a property for a knockdown rebuild. If you would like to know more about these topics and others or have any questions contact the New Home Building Brokers team on 1300 383 262 or visit www.nhbb.com.au ■

Be the king of your castle This is a truly extraordinary home, writes JANE EVANS THIS is no ordinary house. From afar, the stately limestone and rendered property looks like a modern-day castle. Five years in the making, the owners collaborated with acclaimed architect Andrew Boughton to create the ultimate family home. Instead of disrupting the natural terrain, the property is actually “punched” into a sand dune, and sits incredibly proudly on the corner of Challenger Parade and Falmouth Avenue. Sun, sand and sea combine to deliver the most amazing views. It boasts a curved infinity edge pool and a full-size tennis court. Flanking this is a timber-decked alfresco area on one side, and a wide terrace on the other, an ideal location to enjoy a glass of wine at sunset. The main living areas are in a large wing overlooking the tennis court. The kitchen is huge and features state-ofthe-art appliances. The lounge and dining areas seamlessly flow into each other. Across the hall, a beautifully appointed lounge and dining room adjoin a regal home office with stunning sheoak timber cabinetry.
Upstairs, a master retreat overlooks the ocean and comprises a spacious master bedroom, ensuite bathroom, enormous walk-in robe and adjoining space, ideal for use as a study or nursery. The lower ground floor features two additional bedrooms, a bathroom and games room with bar. Further along, a large cellar is enchanting, entered through decorative timber doors from India, with brick vaulted ceilings and blacksmith crafted gates inspired by those at the Austrian Hospiz Alm Hotel. The beautiful room is illuminated by light fittings from the ballroom at the old Government House and floor-to-ceiling storage is made from timber from the old Bunbury jetty. An unparalleled lifestyle property, this home is for the discerning buyer for whom nothing but the best will do. ■

location information
THE facade is striking, but inside there is a lovely simplicity to this near-new Foundry Court home. Neutral colours are complemented by Caesar stone and timber throughout, giving it a fresh, breezy feel. Tucked away in a new enclave of homes fronting the river , the owners were attracted to its tranquil setting, which is also just a seven minute walk to the ocean. One hundred and eighty degree river and jetty views create a dazzling backdrop and the upper level living areas really take advantage of this. “The river constantly changes, it will be dif-
ferent tomorrow,” the owner said. A sleek, long white kitchen extends across one wall with integrated stainless steel AEG appliances and downlights to brighten the space. The adjacent lounge and dining flow on to a balcony, all with vaulted ceilings. Indented to allow privacy and protection from the elements, the balcony also features a glass balustrade. Entertaining outside is very pleasurable, according to the owner, who says they have enjoyed many family gatherings there. A dumbwaiter in the kitchen is also very practical, should you choose to entertain
downstairs. Also on this level is the master bedroom, which has the views, too. A luxurious ensuite with a spa bath and walk-in robe complete the room. “The floor plan works very well; we didn’t want to be going down the stairs all the time,” the owner said. On the ground level, three bedrooms form a teenagers’ wing which includes an activity room or second living area and is practically self-contained with its own small kitchen, lawn area and alfresco area – also ideal for guests. “The home just has a nice feel,” the owner said. “There aren’t any small pokey spaces, it’s free-flowing.” ■

Continental ambience heightens appeal Luxury living in a picturesque setting, writes JANE EVANS THERE is a distinct European feel to this part of Mosman Park; behind stately walls among beautifully landscaped gardens, the homes look as though they belong in provincial France or Italy. Just moments from the river’s edge, this Mediterranean-inspired residence offers luxurious living in a picturesque location. French doors open into a 40sqm foyer with a void to the second level and arched windows
highlighting a blossoming, limestone-paved courtyard. To the right of the entrance, the main living area is open plan, featuring a classic, provincial inspired kitchen flanked by the dining and informal living areas. Natural light floods the room via three sets of french doors. These open out to a beautiful Roman style garden with creeper-covered archways and walls, an antique looking stone water fountain and a soaring palm tree shading the area. Longtable lunches on a summer’s day would be perfect here. Upstairs, the master bedroom and second
living area – which features a wet area – both open on to a large alfresco terrace with river views. The master bedroom also features an extensive walk-in robe and modern ensuite. There are two other bedrooms on the second level and several wrought iron balconies from which to enjoy a morning cup of coffee in the sunshine. A bedroom on the ground level occupies a rear wing with access to its own ensuite, making it a perfect guest suite. Added extras include security and intercom systems, a laundry chute, triple car garage, and granite and marble bench tops throughout. ■

Timber accents feature throughout in the window, door frames, shutters and floorboards, as well as built-in cabinetry. An expansive wall of glass in the main living area at the rear has doors opening out to a deck, allowing natural light to flood the inside. A huge northerly window and soaring cathedral ceilings provide added light and space. The open-plan design of the main living area
means that cooking and entertaining or supervising homework can be done simultaneously. The stylish kitchen features stainless steel bench tops, a custom rangehood and dishwasher as well as timber veneer cupboards and a marble island bench. The pretty back yard has a wide timber deck – ideal for summer barbecues – with a spacious lawn area and tall mature trees and plants. A garden shed completes the outdoor setting. There are three bedrooms and two bathrooms, including a modern and spacious ensuite.
Wool carpet to the bedrooms is new. There is also ducted evaporative air conditioning, high windows, recessed downlights and built-in robes in some of the bedrooms.There is also brick-paved verge parking. This charismatic home is on one of Shenton Park’s most delightful streets. The quiet locale carries only neighbourhood traffic and features an eclectic mix of old and character cottages with more modern homes. It is close to the Shenton Village shopping centre, public transport along Onslow or Aberdare roads, Kings Park, Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital and UWA. ■

Lessons in homebuilding
#5 HOLDING HANDS
Holding hands doesn’t sound like the sort of thing most builders do. Then again, we’re not most builders. Of course, we won’t actually hold your hand (unless you really want us to), but we will metaphorically speaking – we’ll walk you through the homebuilding process, one on one, one step at a time. As a boutique homebuilder, we’re there for you from design and planning through to construction and handing over the keys to your dream home. Visit cambuild.com.au to find out CAM00113-B
more about our one-on-one methodology, or simply call us on 9244 8522 to discuss your requirements in more detail.

Aldgate House 7 Aldgate Place, East Fremantle. $3,875,000
At the end of a quiet cul-de-sac is the breathtaking federation style masterpiece Aldgate House. Secluded from the street by an exquisitely quaint garden, the yesteryear home has a charm that only develops with age. This slice of history was built in 1892 for a merchant and shipping agent and is now one of the oldest residences in East Fremantle. A tiled veranda wraps around the house and provides an outlook across the wide driveway to the double garage and 17m indoor lap pool with concertina doors opening to the picturesque
alfresco beneath a blooming jacaranda tree. Tuck-point work and a stunning stained glass window are at the entrance of the home into the foyer with heritage listed wall mural and alcove featuring a bronze-inspired statue. Soaring high ornate ceilings, gleaming jarrah oorboards and a ďŹ replace in each of the four bedrooms enhances the character. The formal lounge has large picture windows while the separate living room reveals steps down to a cellar. This remarkable residence is a true delight.

Playground of rich and famous Iconic luxury property with unlimited ocean and national park views, writes SAMANTHA JONES RICH in history, this iconic property in Yallingup is bordered on both sides by Leeuwin-Naturaliste National Park.

The property currently provides accommodation, function packages and has an impressive long-term reservation register. It is on 22ha of prime secluded land and basks in unrestricted views of the Indian Ocean in an elevated position where two separate dwellings exist completely framed in jarrah wood. The main residence spans three stories and overlooks the guesthouse, which is set over two stories. There are four bedrooms and two
bathrooms in the main home and three bedrooms and one bathroom in the guest house. Both homes have sweeping ocean views over Cape Leeuwin, Injidup Point, Canal Rocks and Sugarloaf Rocks and are surrounded by an abundance of native flora and fauna. . Some of the impressive features include a big entertainment hub and a large terraced amphitheatre, which is ideal for catering to exclusive boutique events. Light-filled open-plan living areas characterise the homes, which have blackbutt flooring and timber finishes throughout.
