Inspiration for the iGeneration Cuddle up to technology in iSpire, the building made for the tech savvy. By CARMELLE WILKINSON BE among the first to purchase a trendy apartment in Diploma’s new $50 million residential building iSpire in the heart of the CBD. Perfect for the technology savvy, the complex has been designed by Lawrence J Scanlan & Associates and will have a host of techno features, including a car stacker system, iPod docking stations, lighting touch screen systems, resort style facilities and built-in digital photo frames just to name a few. Located at 176 Adelaide Terrace, iSpire will have 78 one and two-bedroom apartments sprawled over 17 levels. Diploma, together with sales and marketing agency Allegro Realty, recognise buyers are continually looking for what is ‘fashion forward’ resulting in purchasers wanting the very latest from their surroundings. “Perth has a very style-conscious population and this desire to experience the cutting edge of what’s new and exciting doesn’t stop at fashion and footwear; it is all-encompassing and incorporates clothes, cars, phones, technology and environment. Where you live is a real

reflection of who you are,” said Peter Gianolis, managing director of Allegro Realty. “iSpire is a building that will truly inspire. It is edgy, technologically advanced and will appeal to anyone with an iPod, iPhone or iPad in their bag – it will speak to volumes to the savvy consumer. “With the changing pace of technology we can’t claim it is the most technologically

advanced, but in terms of residential buildings currently under construction, it certainly is.” The complex will also have a spa, barbecue deck, resident kitchen and herb garden. A sales office is located on site and is open daily from 11am to 1pm. All sales enquiries can be directed to Allegro Realty on 9221 3674 or email sales@allegrorealty.com.au ■

Frustrated owners turn to renovations as house sales slump AS property sales in many Perth suburbs slump to around 10 per cent lower than the same time last year, home renovations have surged, with the value of building approvals for home renova- Propell National Valuers’ tions in WA totalling Travis Coleman. nearly $300 million for the five months ending November 2010. According to the latest ABS residential construction figures, an average of around $15 million is being spent every week towards renovations in WA. Propell National Valuers valuations manager Travis Coleman said a slower real estate market historically encouraged property owners to

But beware dangers of over-capitalising, say industry experts consider a home renovation if they could not find a buyer for their home. “With selling prices being discounted by around 6 per cent, this trend of home renovations is set to increase during 2011 as more frustrated property sellers decide to upgrade their existing home because they cannot achieve their target sale price,’’ he said. “Many home owners decide to undertake additions to their home for emotional rather than financial reasons and, as a result, they risk over-capitalising their home which is one of the most common mistakes in real estate. “In the current market, the danger with home renovations is that the home owner can spend thousands of dollars improving their home only to find that when they sell their

property, they cannot recover the money.” Mr Coleman said anyone considering a home renovation should obtain an independent valuation of the property to determine its correct market value compared to similar homes sold in the neighbourhood. He added that renovations should focus on improving highly visible areas around the home that would impress future homebuyers and enhance the value of the property. “Focus on the front of the home as this will improve the street appeal of the property,” he said. “If the existing home has dark brown bricks and old guttering then consider rendering the bricks and replacing the guttering. Also, if you invest some money in better landscaping this in

turn will also improve the street appeal of the property,’’ he said. “Inside the house you should focus on the bathroom and kitchen areas. Improvements in these areas traditionally deliver high returns. “You should also focus on the outside living area of the property as much as the inside of the property. The reason being one of the biggest trends in the WA real estate market currently is a growing demand by home buyers for usable outdoor living areas.” Mr Coleman said if you were employing a builder to undertake your home renovations, check that they belong to a professional building organisation such as the Housing Industry Association of Western Australia. In addition, ask to view recent work that they have done in the local area. “If you get a quote from a builder, make sure that it is in writing,” he said. ■

Goldman glitz in a class of its own Premier penthouse on sale for the first time, writes JANE EVANS THE Goldman apartments on Darley Street have been somewhat of a South Perth icon since their completion in 1999. For the first time ever, the domed ceiling penthouse in the striking building is for sale. Each apartment occupies an entire floor, with three huge balconies and direct lift access via a three-tier security system. The grounds are immaculately presented, with a central fountain, surrounded by clipped hedges in the forecourt. Graham Geddes sculptures and artistic lighting by night are features of the area. Inside, the luxurious residences are unique in both their proportion and style.

The sixth floor apartment spans 215sqm, with more than 60sqm of external living. There is no telling the age of its interior – it is timeless and elegant – a blend of classic French architecture and New York pizzazz. Uninterrupted, panoramic city, river and Kings Park views from its north facing terrace are probably the finest in Perth. The foyer of the penthouse overlooks a marble-tiled, internal courtyard with a water feature, connected to kitchen and living areas via a barrel-ceiling, gallery walkway. The open-plan, north-facing living area has formal and casual rooms, plus a dining area. The bedroom wing is south facing and opens

to separate balconies with equally stunning views. European oak parquetry flooring, high ceilings, bevelled-glass french doors and marble bench tops are just some of the high-end finishes of this beautiful home with a secure, basement garage. Shared benefits include a gym and a stylish, marble-tiled function room with caterer’s kitchen and separate staff access. ■

Live every day like it’s a luxury holiday Escape to your very own coastal retreat, writes JANE EVANS

ARCHITECT Paul Odden has designed the perfect coastal retreat, in the suburbs. The owners of this City Beach home wanted to emulate the feel of a typical south-west luxury holiday home. And they succeeded. The double-storey home was completed in May 2010 and exudes a relaxed yet sophisticated ambience. The striking facade is a combination of timber, stone and concrete, creating an effortlessly contemporary, clean-lined residence. Carefully landscaped gardens surround the property, with tropical foliage and vast lawn areas for children to roll around on. Inside, a feature of the home, and favourite of the owners, is the burnished concrete floor-

ing which flows throughout the downstairs living areas and gives the home a raw, urban edge. “I love the organic flooring,” said the owner. “With the living areas north-facing, it attracts the winter sun and really warms the house.” There are two separate living areas divided by a dining area with an open void to the second story. The kitchen features integrated cabinetry, a striking glass splashback and a separate combined scullery and laundry, which can be concealed by a divider wall. Oversized sliding doors retract to combine the indoors with the outdoors where fixed timber louvers provide shade over the timberdecked alfresco area. There is also a large salt-water swimming

pool and organic vegetable garden at the rear. The second level comprises four generous bedrooms, including the master suite, and a mezzanine library feature. A fifth bedroom on the ground floor could be a study or guest bedroom and is serviced by one of three luxury bathrooms, each appointed with floating cabinets, imported Italian tiles and deep luxury baths. ■

Gold mine exudes beach shack ambience Location second to none in exclusive enclave, 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 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. “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 on a 581sqm block.

With a north/south facing orientation, a potential upper level would have panoramic ocean views. The location of this South City Beach block 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. ■

True to its name Seacrest Homes’ La Stupenda lives up to its hype, writes TANYA MACNAUGHTON WITH a title like ‘La Stupenda’ you would expect the home to be, well, stupendous. Seacrest Homes’ latest edition to its portfolio of breathtaking properties certainly lives up to the name. Built along the South Perth foreshore, this is a true masterpiece of sophistication and contemporary elegance with high-end specifications at the forefront. The design centres on the emulation of a five-star penthouse hotel suite where both levels of the home have every luxurious convenience while remaining low maintenance. The fully furnished house was completed in December, but has been three years in the making with ‘wow factors’ everywhere you look and an intelligent 513sqm floor plan that fits on a 458sqm block with just a 7.5m wide frontage. The stencilled driveway has a European fan design and complements a facade with stone feature inserts and

ornate balcony balustrade. A combination of american ash and oak timber makes up the parquetry flooring that has been used extensively across the ground floor. Corian inserts accentuate the floor covering by the double door front entrance and the nearby staircase has chrome-plated medallion inserts in the wrought iron balustrade with american oak handrails. A black and gold motif features throughout the interior design including the back-lit gold-coloured agate wall feature with nickel-plated frame. Stainless steel appliances and dark granite bench tops are an attribute in the gleaming kitchen with an open plan to the dining room which, like the rest of the home, has amazing ceiling details. This inspired home also has a fully tiled cellar, double garage, airconditioning, smart wiring, piped sound system and video intercom security with cameras. ■

Yesteryear charm belies home’s tender age Soaring ceilings add to sense of space, and it’s so well situated, reports CARMELLE WILKINSON ONE look at this gorgeous home in Nedlands and you could be mistaken for thinking it was built in yesteryear, when in fact it is near new. Designed by Stephen Brett, it has been meticulously constructed featuring all the glorious finishes found in a traditional character home. Sprawled over a 923sqm block, the single level home is sure to impress with its neutral tones, soaring ceilings, large open-plan living areas and a great sense of space and light throughout. The lovely front veranda leads to a formal entrance and then onto an expansive informal living and dining room. Bi-fold doors open on to an undercover alfresco area, ideal for year-round entertaining. The gourmet kitchen offers ample bench space, a breakfast bar, under bench storage, a walkin pantry and high-quality appliances.

A private garden terrace is the perfect setting for morning coffee or a glass of vino at the end of the day. A second living room offers a great space, which could be converted into a huge games room or library. The private master suite includes an oversized bedroom, walk-in robe and ensuite bathroom. A separate wing on the other side of the home offers a further three huge bedrooms, all with built-in robes, and a second bathroom. Well situated close to College Park, restaurants, a supermarket and public transport, the home is just a minute’s drive to the heart of the Claremont and Nedlands shopping, dining and entertainment precincts. Additional features of the home include large laundry, polished Jarrah floorboards and a massive storeroom off the garage. ■

Migrant torrent will boost Perth property market Arriving at a rate of 500 a week, migrants accounted for 58% of WA’s total population growth last financial year WITH the number of overseas migrants expected to jump in the coming year, so too will the local property market. According to Peter Peard, CEO of The Peard Real Estate Group, the latest ABS figures show that during the last financial year, overseas migrants accounted for 58 per cent of WA’s total population Peter Peard. growth. “The number of overseas migrants coming to WA could rise even further during the coming year as the economy gains more traction as a result of the massive new investment in the resources sector,” he said.

With more than 500 migrants coming to WA each week, and many of these people settling in Perth, Mr Peard recommended overseas migrants consider a number of matters before buying a property. “It is a good idea to rent in the area you would live to purchase a home. If you take out a lease for six months, this will give you enough time to find out if this is the area you would like to live in and give you time to research the local property market,’’ he said. “If you find the location you want to live in and the price range you can afford, then register your name with some of the larger real

estate companies in the area.They will notify you of a suitable property as soon as it becomes available.” Mr Peard said location was imperative when deciding where to call home, and properties close to the ocean had historically achieved the highest capital growth because of the growing focus on lifestyle. “Properties that have easy access to shops, schools and local transport are easier to sell at a later date. However, traffic can be an issue because homes that are located in busy roads tend to have a lower resale value than a similar home on a quiet street in the same area,’’ he said. “If you are buying an older home for renovation purposes, make a thorough examination of costs because WA is going through a boom and the cost of tradespeople is rising

monthly because of a shortage in skills.” Mr Peard also encouraged homebuyers to take into account stamp duty costs as it could be much higher compared to other countries, and to have pre-approval finance in place because this would ensure buyers were in a much better position to negotiate the price of the home and immediately secure a property within their price range. He also suggested trying to make sure the home had a garage (to improve security), air conditioning (to save having to install later) and a water bore (to save money in water charges over the long term and ensure that gardens are well-maintained). Mr Peard said buying an established home rather than building a new one was often more convenient for overseas migrants, with less interruption to normal lifestyles. ■

Rents up for first time in a year RENTS in metropolitan Perth have increased for the first time in 12 months. The Real Estate Institute of Western Australia last week revealed the median rent in the three months to January was up $10 to $380 per week. REIWA President Alan Bourke said the March quarter was traditionally a time when vacancy rates tightened and rents increased due to seasonal factors, such as pressure from university students and families preparing for the new year.

“We saw median rents go from $360 to $370 this time last year but we didn’t experience any further rises or falls through all of 2010,” Mr Bourke said The vacancy rate for rental properties in Perth stands at 3.4 per cent in the three months to January, the same as the revised figure for the December quarter. This is well under the vacancy rate of 4.1 per cent in the March quarter last year. Mr Bourke said it was unclear if upwards pressure on rents would continue.

Simple, chic and timeless beachside bliss Location, location, location: this home has it all, matched by exquisite design that maximises panoramic views and embraces a low maintenance but stylish lifestyle, writes JANE EVANS I WANT to live on Leighton Beach – how could you not? Nicely wedged between Cottesloe and Fremantle, with nothing between you and the sparkling waters of the Indian Ocean, Mirvac’s Beachside Leighton complex is the height of luxury. I think what is so alluring about the apartments is their convenient yet ultra exclusive location. If you look one way, you are a two-minute walk to the emerging bar and café scene of North Fremantle, and only a 20 minute train ride from the city. But if you look the other way, it’s all ocean as far as the eye can see. Location aside, Beachside Leighton is the epitomy of style. Architecturally designed by Singaporeanbased Kerry Hill and Fremantle’s Michael Patroni, the exquisitely designed homes blend harmoniously with their coastal environment. A lift from the ground level provides direct access into apartment one. As you step inside, vast expanses of glass are

a window on the ocean panorama and allow natural sunlight throughout the interior. The highest quality materials and flawless finishes have been used to create spaces that are both visually striking and low maintenance. A streamlined white galley kitchen with Gaggenau appliances, a separate scullery and integrated appliances, including a coffee machine, two ovens and a microwave, are incorporated into a main living and dining area, with sliding doors out to an expansive beachfront terrace, featuring automatic louvers. There are three bedrooms and three bathrooms in the apartment, each generously proportioned and immaculately finished. The master suite is sensational, with its open ensuite and direct access to a terrace. A sitting room and separate study are away from the bedrooms, providing additional space in which to relax, spread out and enjoy this lifestyle home. Simple, chic and timeless, with a price tag to match, only a few lucky people will ever be able to call this home. ■

Resource boom gives shot in arm to hobby farm market HOBBY farms in country areas of WA have become popular in recent years and according to David Hobbs, CEO of Professionals Real Estate Group, there has never been a better time to buy one. Mr Hobbs said summer months were the perfect time to consider buying a lifestyle rural property, with the most popular being within one and two hours of Perth. He said areas such as Mandurah, Toodyay, York, Gingin, Dwellingup and Pinjarra had increased in popularity as a result of the resource boom. “As a result of the improving economic outlook and major new investment in the

resources sector, the demand for these lifestyle rural properties is set to increase,” Mr Hobbs said. “Now is the time when buyers should consider purchasing a regional property for lifestyle reasons because there are fewer buyers in the market and sellers are more motivated to negotiate on their selling price. Mr Hobbs said if you were considering buying a regional property, one of the key factors to take into account was the land value. “Land value can be determined by a number of factors such as the location of the property and specific infrastructure issues,’’ he said.

“Travelling distance to Perth is one key issue when considering the location and value of a property. “At the same time, issues such as services to the property can also have a major impact on its land value. “Many people who buy a clear block of land in the country underestimate how much it can cost to have electricity connected. “Water is another issue that can impact on the value of the land.” Mr Hobbs said rural properties that had easy access to major facilities located in a major regional town such as schools and shops also achieved higher resale value. ■
