Chris stays in tune with his day job
A RARE opportunity exists to purchase a slice of history along Subiaco’s iconic Hamersley Road. Three adjoining character homes will go up for auction on Saturday, February 12, at 10.30am (unless sold prior). The entire street block spanning 2267sqm in area at the Thomas Street end of Hamersley Road is marked with seven individual lots, each ranging in size from 321sqm to 331sqm. The properties will be offered initially as one complete parcel and if not sold at auction, will be offered as individual home sites. The historic homes, built in the early 1900s are located at 59, 63 and 65 Hamersley Road. The magnificent character home located on the corner of 59 Hamersley and Townsend Roads is built over three lots and
Chris Ellers... enjoys belting out a few Beatles and Buble numbers.
More than one string to the bow of Chris, Carmelle Wilkinson discovers WHEN City Beach real estate agent Chris Ehlers isn’t selling homes he enjoys belting out a few Beatles tunes. The talented Paxton Hoad agent sings at Mambo’s Restaurant in City Beach on Friday nights, and is currently taking part in Music in the Park. Run by The Town of Cambridge, the series of concerts started last month and will run until the end of March. Chris told Residential he has always had a strong interest in singing and nowadays finds it is a great stress buster. “When I was a kid I’d sing harmonies with my six brothers and sis-
ters in the back of the Holden station wagon as we drove down the beach,’’ he said.“Singing is a great stress reliever whether you think you can sing or not. A good shout is always good for the soul. If I could sing for my supper I would, but until then real estate is a great fill-in.” Chris enjoys singing everything from Beatles to Buble and everything in between. “I really enjoy the acoustic James Taylor style but I also love Stevie Wonder, Elvis, Eagles, Crowded House, Chris Isaak and the Police,’’ he said. “If you think you’ve got a talent

then you should share it with the community. You’ll quickly find out if you should be concentrating more on your day job.” Chris has been in the property industry for 20 years and said it was great to finally be able to pursue his two greatest passions in life. ■ The next Music in the Park concert will be held at Cowden Park, West Leederville on January 29, 57pm, followed by Rutter Park,Wembley on February 26, 5-7pm and then Floreat Beach, March 26, 5-7pm.

Passport to paradise Feng shui-designed home offers luxury and resort-style living. By JANE EVANS WITH a distinct vision in mind, the owners of this Macleod Road home bought a massive block with an original 1980s feng shui-designed house on it, and transformed the entire property into a modern, resort-inspired masterpiece. One of the larger blocks in Applecross, the property spans 1911 square metres. “It had great bones, so we didn’t change anything structurally, we just gutted the interior and refurbished it,” the owner said. Paul Cox of Barbe Interiors worked closely with the couple to make the home more modern, adding luxurious finishes to every room. Then Mondo Landscapes came on board, giving the gardens a complete make-over – and
the result is phenomenal. From the moment you step onto the driveway, the home’s lush gardens enthral you. The tropically landscaped grounds are Balinese inspired and split over several levels. There are more than 35 palm trees in the backyard alone, which features a pitched-roof cabana, lagoon-style swimming pool and spa with a water wall, and a timber-decked outdoor dining area. This is outdoor entertaining at its finest, and when lit up at night, the gardens are magical. Inside, there are five large bedrooms and four bathrooms. An atrium in the foyer is the centrepiece of the home, and behind this, the master bedroom
has its own hotel-like suite with an extensive marble ensuite. There are formal dining and living areas which open on to a tranquil courtyard with a koi fishpond, as well as informal living areas that flank the kitchen and open out to the gardens – and, of course, a fully equipped home theatre. The home is finished impeccably throughout

with the use of quality timber flooring, marble tiles, stunning decor, fixtures and fittings. There is also a wine cellar, ample storage facilities and a four-vehicle garage. Offering the ultimate in lifestyle living, there is no need to ever escape to Bali – because you are already there. ■

“opening your doors to the world”
Your real estate questions answered by Niki Peinke, director of The Property Exchange in Subiaco Q: I am re-doing our flooring in the living room and kitchen and although I know that wood or stone tiles are all the rage I really love cork as it’s much softer. Would we be doing ourselves a disservice when it comes to resale by using cork? A:The answer is “yes” in some circumstances, and “no” in others. If you are planning to stay in the home for quite some time and you love cork, then do it. On the other hand if you may be selling in the near future, in terms of today’s fashion it’s a big no-no. Cork is still regarded as very 70s and tends to make the room look dated, even if it isn’t. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but timber and stone are “it” for the moment. Q: I find it annoying when agents put properties on the market for “expressions of interest”. Why do they do this, and how are we supposed to know what to offer? A: I understand that this can be frustrating, but it’s not that different from an auction situation. It is usually used for properties that are hard to price, or could be worth different things to different people.You can generally get a price guide from the agent if you ask. A comparison with surrounding prop-

erties will also help you, and there is a lot of information available on the net for research, too. Q: I have a small apartment (around 52sqm) in a fairly old block (1960s). I have painted it all white, fixed up the kitchen and bathroom and put in new carpet. Now my agent is telling me I should hire furniture as well. Isn’t this a bit over the top for a small unit? A: No, not at all. As a matter of fact, the smaller the apartment the more important it is to furnish it, because an apartment (or any room for that matter) always looks bigger once it has furniture in it.

Perfectly packaged in prime position Feature-packed home in a premier location. By JANE EVANS IT would be hard to find a house with more features. Selling agent Deb Brady describes it as the home that has ‘everything’. Recently renovated with new bathrooms, the property has a warm homely feel. Wrought iron gates create a grand entrance into the 959sqm property, which features a fountain, pond and a carefully manicured front garden. There are five separate living areas including a cosy sitting room near the fire that looks out over Rottnest and an indoor-outdoor entertaining room, overlooking the gas-heated swimming pool. The kitchen features timber cabinetry with marble bench tops and is flanked by open-plan living areas that spill out onto the backyard. Designed with entertaining in mind, there are
vast lawn areas for children and pets and several enclosed outdoor living areas. Five bedrooms comprise the accommodation, all of which are sunlit and roomy. The minor bedrooms have built-in robes while the master enjoys a walk-in robe, sitting area and private luxurious ensuite. Clever separation of living areas means the study, master bedroom and minor bedrooms occupy their own sections of the house. Additional features include floorboards throughout, a ducted vacuum, airconditioning, a security system, reticulation and a double lock-up garage. Positioned near the front of an exclusive estate between the river and sea, the home also has views to the ocean and access to community tennis courts next to the park. ■

An old Subiaco store has been transformed through innovative design and a commitment to style, writes JANE EVANS THIS charming Subiaco home was once the corner store. The converted shopfront is in one of the suburb’s finest streets, among other charming period homes. Newly renovated and beautifully finished, the contemporary family home sets the benchmark for innovative architectural design and style in the area. Occupying a sunlit corner site, this beautiful home has Kings Park views from the master suite, and is just minutes from Subiaco’s cafe and retail strip. Marble and timber feature extensively, complementing the contemporary ambience and enhancing the refurbished site.
The finishes include timber veneer cupboards, a marble kitchen, marble and anthracite bathrooms, anthracite stone tiles throughout the wet areas, polished jarrah timber floors in the original home and spotted gum planks in the new living area. The accommodation includes three bedrooms, with built-in robes to all of them. The versatile kitchen features a marble waterfall island bench, built-in refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher.

at CeVue...
We’ve waited all our lives for this” “This morning we woke to enjoy our cuppa while we perused the daily papers (delivered to our apartment) before breakfast looking over the fabulous ocean views. After attending to “chores” like emails that invade our lives, it was a walk along the white sands to Trigg, and then back to take a refreshing dip in the surf before relaxing by the CeVue pool protected from the breezes. Tonight we will enjoy a cocktail on the balcony taking in the Indian Ocean sunset before a meal of fresh sand whiting prepared on our barbecue. Lloyd and Jan M - CeVue Owners

Refinement of a regal estate Within walking distance to prominent schools, yacht and tennis clubs, writes JANE EVANS ON one of Perth’s most prestigious streets, just metres from Freshwater Bay, this beautiful double storey residence is right at home. It features classic detailing, stylish finishes and stunning gardens, creating an understated elegance. Set back from the road, a limestone walkway leads you to the front door, past a sunken English style garden with perfectly trimmed hedges, immaculate lawn and lush foliage covering the property’s high walls. Victorian style french doors open out to a terrace overlooking the garden – perfectly fitting for an afternoon tea party featuring the likes of a glass of ice-cold Pimms and a game of Bocce. Inside, the home is elegant and refined. The interior is neutral and low key, allowing the wonderful river backdrop and garden surrounds to be the focus.
A stunning formal lounge and dining area with a Jetmaster gas fireplace occupy onehalf of the entry level. Tucked around the corner is a kitchen and a casual dining area with access to a lovely east-facing alfresco area with barbecue facilities and magnificent river views. The views are even better from the second level. The master suite is bright and open with a private balcony that has sweeping views of the river and surrounds. A generous study niche adjoins it. There are three other bedrooms over the two levels, and three granite lined bathrooms. Quality wool carpets, good security, high ceilings, four car garaging (accessible from the street and rear lane) and ducted air conditioning are just some of the added extras of the home. ■

Treetop views from every room Dalkeith home has prime position facing Mason Gardens, writes CARMELLE WILKINSON LIKE many grandparents, the owners of 84 Adelma Road in Dalkeith were happy to heed a call to help with babysitting their threeyear-old granddaughter nearly 10 years ago. Although that involved building a new home and moving from their country property, the position of their new home overlooking Masons Gardens made it seem as though they were living in a beautifully maintained park. “We planned our house so that trees were visible from each room,” recall the owners. “The bird life and activity in the park were an unexpected bonus. “We were so lucky to have been able to secure a spot on this much sought-after strip, as blocks here rarely become available.” Now, with their granddaughter approaching her teens, the owners have decided to return to their country property to continue work on a land and water conservation project. Developing this modern open-plan home with Japanese-style garden has been supported by the owners’ whole family. Their daughters, each experts in interior design and landscape planning, have given
plenty of advice – and it really shows. The two-storey home is spacious and grand and the floor plan allows for great flexibility. The self-contained upstairs suite has its own lounge, generous bedroom, walk-in robe, bathroom and kitchenette, and downstairs is perfect for those people who want to avoid steps and enjoy a modern home that looks out over a gorgeous water-wise garden. The garden is a tranquil haven, attracting many birds but requiring very little maintenance and water. The “cute as a button” garden studio is an added bonus, as is the large lock-up double
garage which allows access to the garden. With great appeal, this amazing family home is on an 808sqm block. ■

There’s a cool kitchen hiding in all of us Two friends have introduced the breathtaking custom-made Italian Scavolini brand to Perth, writes JANE EVANS I’VE never thought kitchens were particularly ‘cool’. Perhaps because I can’t cook to save my life – boiling pasta is an effort – but after wandering through the new Scavolini showroom, pulling out drawers, admiring cutlery compartments and the like, I realise that these kitchens are not just super functional, they are super cool. Leading Italian kitchen manufacture Scavolini was practically unheard of in Perth six months ago. Now a 280 square metre showroom with the Scavolini name boldy written across its red exterior sits proudly on Stirling Highway, thanks to two hip western suburbs mums who bonded over a love for cooking, travel and design. Wanda Bresa and Teresa Wilkinson met through their sons attending school at Scotch College together. After becoming frustrated with the lack of choice for kitchen design in Perth, Wanda and Teresa took to researching international brands, and knew that they had stumbled upon something special when they discovered Scavolini. With stores throughout Europe and the USA, including Paris, Milan, New York and Barcelona, the pair decided to bring the kitchens to Perth and opened Australia’s
first showroom for the brand last November. Scavolini has been Italy’s top kitchen brand since 1984 with 40 models available in the current range. The Italian kitchen concept is open and stylishly modular – the sleek curvature of lines combines with brilliant color and cabinetry design. From classic to modern, the range is at the forefront of innovation, design and style right across Europe. Seven full-size kitchens from the range are on display in the Claremont showroom, along with an exclusive range of European accessories and furnishings, allowing customers the opportunity to see and touch every facet of the kitchens. World renowned Italian car designer Giorgetto Giugiaro, who has designed both Ferraris and Lamborghinis, designed one of the brand’s most popular kitchens – Flux – which appears at the centre of the Claremont showroom and will feature in the home Wanda and her husband are building. The women describe the kitchens – which can be ordered and installed within 12 weeks – as medium to high end, but surprisingly affordable. Teresa said the kitchens were all custom made to suit a client’s wants and needs. “The Italian feel transcends, though, and
