Enzo’s recipe for la dolce vita Growth Realty principal Enzo Pagnozzi discusses his passions for food, Italy – and real estate WHEN Enzo Pagnozzi is not selling property in the western suburbs, he can be found putting his culinary skills to the test. The principal of Growth Realty in Subiaco is a closet cook, who told Residential he was guilty of watching the cooking channel on Foxtel and reading cookbooks in his spare time. “I love the beautiful photos of food and the places and country from where it originated,’’ he said. “My favourite meal is Sunday lunch at home. The perfect recipe would have to be sharing good food and great wine with family and friends.” As much as Enzo loves Perth, he said another interest of his was travelling, and he enjoyed going overseas a couple of times each year. “Italy is my favourite country, especially as my older son lives in Verona,’’ he said. His love for Italy may also have developed while he lived and worked there between 1977 and 1981. “When I returned to Perth in April 1981 I had no money and no job, but a loving family,’’ he said. “To cut a long story short, I enrolled in the real estate sales course in April 1981 and have

never looked back. “The success of Growth Realty is due to my wife Peta and myself, working hard, enjoying what we do, and having great staff over the years. More recently this has included our son Trent. What has made it even more worthwhile are the fantastic friends we have made along the way.” Renowned for his quirky, movie-inspired advertising billboards, Enzo said his marketing campaign was creative and fun. “The feedback from our clients, peers and the public in general is very positive, so much so that people stop me in the street and ask what our next campaign will be and even suggest ideas to me,’’ he said. Situated in Subiaco, Growth Realty knows all about selling property in the western suburbs.

“It is no secret that the market is experiencing a major correction and real estate values have fallen. However, I believe that this is one of those golden opportunities where people who buy today will reap the rewards tomorrow,’’ he said. “As they say, buy in gloom, sell in boom. “Everywhere has slowed but the western suburbs will always survive better and bounce back stronger due to what we all know is one of the golden rules when buying real estate – location.” ■

Enzo Pagnozzi is a whiz in the kitchen.

Boomers go west A GROWING number of baby boomers are ‘upsizing’ and moving into the western suburbs as they continue working later in life. According to Caporn Young principal Richard Young, during the past five years there has been a significant increase in the number of homebuyers over 50 years of age purchasing homes in Claremont, Dalkeith, Nedlands, Cottesloe and Fremantle. “These baby boomers are buying into upmarket lifestyle suburbs because they intend to have a longer working life and are attracted to these near-city suburbs, which can provide security as well as a wonderful lifestyle,’’ he said. “People are now living much longer and their working lives are being extended.This is in direct contrast to lifestyle trends during the 1980s when many people were encouraged to retire as early as 55 years of age.” Mr Young said mature buyers were attracted to the area because it had easy access to the city, the river, Fremantle and Cottesloe. “Crime is an important issue for these baby boomers and they are now prepared to pay a premium price to live in an area which has very low crime rates,’’ he said. “Caporn Young is also finding that more mature property buyers are driving a growing demand for higher-density homes in the area such as villas, townhouses, terraced homes and apartments. ■

Grand design on every level Extraordinary outdoor spaces. By JANE EVANS DESIGNED by architect David Hillam, this near-new City Beach home is clean-lined and contemporary. Featuring quality fixtures and fittings throughout, no expense was spared in creating a home to suit the modern family and their lifestyle. The interior is open and spacious, with a well-conceived floor plan offering great separation. A sleek, gourmet galley kitchen with integrated appliances and a coffee station is at the centre of the home. Jarrah timber floors and window frames enhance the warmth of the home and offset the otherwise light colour schemes used. Designated formal and informal living spaces on the ground floor are joined by a guest bedroom with its own private ensuite. Outside, a resort-style, tiered

backyard is quite extraordinary. Sprawled over four levels, beautifully landscaped, hedged lawn and paved areas front onto a huge Lshaped swimming pool with an illuminated mosaic waterfall. A cedar-lined pavilion offers a luxurious space to enjoy outdoor summer dining. Selling agent Christopher Dee observed that the backyard is, in fact, also perfect for a wedding. The second level of the home comprises the remaining bedrooms, including the master suite and a parents’ retreat and balcony offering ocean and tree-top views – the perfect place to unwind with a glass of wine at dusk. Set in an elevated position on just under 1000sqm, this wonderful home commands attention in every way. Undercroft double garaging is also a feature of the home.

The location is ideal with the beach, shops and local primary school all within short walking distance, making this a highly soughtafter property. ■

EAST FREMANTLE 7 ALDGATE PLACE AGENT CONTACT WEB DETAILS

East Freoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s grand old dame Built in 1892 by German shipping merchants, writes JANE EVANS SET back from Preston Point Road, with its own entry and address, Aldgate House is one of the oldest residences in East Fremantle and perhaps one of the most exclusive. Formerly occupying the land in front of it, the federation home now sits at the end of a quiet lane that leads directly to the original front wrought iron gates, which were hand-made more than a hundred years ago. Flanked by an exquisite rose garden and limestone staircases, the elevated residence exudes the charm of yesteryear and is as time-

less as it is historical. German shipping merchants built the home in 1892. Yet despite its heritage listing, there is approval for the addition of a second storey that would enhance the ocean view while capturing a harbour and river aspect. A tiled veranda with cast iron lace work wraps around the house and provides an outlook across the wide driveway to the double garage. Adjacent to this is a 17-metre indoor lap pool. Tuck-point brickwork and stunning stained glass are features of the

entrance, which opens into a foyer with a heritage listed wall mural and alcove encasing a bronzed statue. High and ornate ceilings, polished jarrah floorboards and a fireplace in each of the four bedrooms enhances the character. A separate informal living room reveals steps down to the cellar, with original inscriptions on the wall. The formal lounge has large sash windows offering river glimpses. Pine cabinetry features in the kitchen and one of the two bathrooms has a claw-foot bath. â&#x2013;

Elegance at ease with any era Elegance, space and warmth are the hallmarks of this turn-of-the-century classic, writes JANE EVANS NESTLED in the heritage precinct of Claremont, there is an elegant ease to this turn-of-thecentury home – one that more contemporary houses lack. The gorgeous cream and white character facade is offset by a meticulously landscaped terraced garden with a flourishing frangipani tree. Inside, the home is warm and inviting, like the friend’s home you always wanted to stay over as a child. There are four bedrooms and two bathrooms, plus a loft style study with inbuilt cabinetry on the second floor. High decorative ceilings, sash windows and Victorian french doors feature throughout, all hallmarks of the era that was. The entry passage leads through to the rear wing where a spacious, rustic timber kitchen with a range hood, tile splashback and dual ovens overlooks the dining area, offering a place for the family to congregate after school and work.

The lounge room occupies a pocket to the left of the kitchen and also features tall sash windows, giving a glimpse of the garden outside. Plantation shutter bi-fold doors divide a shady alfresco area from the pool, which has a vine-covered limestone wall as a backdrop. The rest of the grounds are landscaped garden beds surrounding an expansive lawn area with a towering tree at the bottom of the garden – a garden you could sit in for hours. The master bedroom is on the second level of the home. The cedar shutters open to treetop aspects from every window, providing the most tranquil of views to wake up to each morning. This fantastic family home could hardly be in a more convenient location. The newly opened Claremont Quarter is just a two minute walk away, as are prestigious private schools, public transport and cafes, restaurants and bars. ■

JUST an empty shell of a warehouse four years ago, the owners of this King Street residence transformed the property from an ugly duckling into the most beautiful of swans. With backgrounds in advertising and graphic design, the couple worked closely with architect Laurie Scanlan to create their ideal home – an industrial-inspired inner city apartment with an abundance of space. The first floor home covers 258sq m which includes a cleverly designed library and office mezzanine via an iron spiral staircase. Every element of the home was designed to retain the open-plan feel of the warehouse, said one of the owners.“We didn’t want to constrain the space,” he said. This includes floating cabinetry in the kitchen, a glass walkway within the mezzanine and bedrooms with divider walls and voids to the five-metre ceilings. European oak parquetry floors flow throughout the bedrooms and living areas with Spanish ceramic tiles featured in the bathrooms. A striking Essa stone island bench runs the length of the kitchen, which includes integrated Miele appliances such as an induction cook top, oven and plate warmer, and a canopy rangehood. There is also a separate cafe servery.

The lounge and dining areas flow seamlessly off the kitchen, which makes the home perfect for entertaining. An original exposed brick wall where the TV cabinet is mounted is a subtle reminder of the warehouse origins. Two bedrooms occupy the central area of the home, the master of which has sliding door access into the lounge. Both have stunningly appointed ensuites. Three huge black panelled windows allow northern light to shine in, and provide an unusual tree top aspect from Wellington Street, while sliding plantation shutters block the light out when required. In the iconic Wills Building, the split-level home also features a cbus system, double glazing to the windows, an intercom and a huge attic storage area. This remarkable home redefines apartment living. ■

‘Floating’ masterpiece timeless and elegant With living areas on the second level to maximise river views, this home epitomises luxury riverside living, writes JANE EVANS

ELEVATED on the escarpment in Mosman Park, this magnificent three-level home appears as though it floats on the river. Custom-built by Seacrest Homes 6½ years ago, the property is timeless, having retained a sophisticated yet elegant feel. The owners were clear in their design brief – they wanted separation of adult and children zones and something that captured the stunning views. The result is an ‘upside-down home’ where the living areas are on the second level. A large chef’s kitchen is orientated towards the view. Beyond the adjacent lounge, floor to ceiling glass panels overlook the escarpment, river and across to Bicton. Bifold doors on two sides can be opened

up to allow the interior and exterior to become one. A massive terrace, with a towering tree gently beside it, is an utterly tranquil place to soak in the breathtaking surrounds. Soaring timber-lined vaulted ceilings add an earthy warmth both inside and out. Away from the living areas, a fully dedicated home theatre features tiered seating, built-in cabinetry and down lights. The master suite and a separate study are also on this level while the lower level features three bedrooms and two bathrooms. There is also an activity room with a bar which opens on to a ground floor alfresco area, flanked by lush lawn, a lap pool and stunning koi fish pond.

This is perfect for teen children who can entertain friends away from their parents. On basement level, a contemporary wine cellar has a bar and stool area with a viewing window to the pool – a real novelty for the owners’ children when they were young. Set on 1013sq m with triple garaging at the front, this generous home won’t fail to impress. ■

Q: I am thinking of becoming a real estate agent as I enjoy looking at houses and am pretty good with people (I’ve been in retail for six years). Real estate agents also seem to earn really good money. Is there anything I should know before I sign up for the course, and do you recommend it as a career? A: Real estate can be incredibly rewarding as long as you have no illusions that it is an easy way to earn money. Only a very small percentage of real estate agents are truly successful, and those are the ones that work long hours, are extremely active, determined and have very good communication skills. In addition, the more you think about the money the less you will get, so if that is your main focus then forget it.Apart from that it has its highs and lows – you get accolades one day and abuse the next, so it’s like a rollercoaster ride, and can be incredibly exciting. Personally I love it, but it’s not for everyone. Q: I have lived in my house for over 40 years, and last year my husband passed away. Now I’m thinking I should move to one of those retirement villages. This real estate agent keeps knocking on my door to see if I want to sell, and he’s given me a figure for selling it but how do I know if this is correct? I’m not sure what to do. A: Normally a seller would call in around three different agents to give an opinion on the pricing so you get an overall idea of the figure. Sometimes these can vary quite a lot, but usually the average of these is fairly accurate as long as the agents are local.Then I would pick the agent that you like the most, that you feel most comfortable with and that you feel will get you the best result (this is generally not the agent who is being pushy and trying to get you to sign some-

If you have a friend or a relative who could help you with this, that would also be an advantage. Q: I thought that we had just sold our home as we had a contract that was subject to finance, and then the buyers told our agent on the Friday that the finance had been approved and they were very excited about moving in. Then, on the Monday, we got a letter from the bank saying the finance had been declined. We have a pretty large deposit from them, so can we keep this? A: Unfortunately as there is nothing in writing to say the finance was approved keeping the deposit might prove difficult.What you can do is ask for proof that an application was made to the bank for the amount stated on the contract and the accompanying decline for that same amount. If they cannot provide this information you may have a case to keep the deposit, but you would need legal advice and probably fight this in court – a lengthy process that probably means that you cannot sell your home in the meantime. Probably better to cut your losses and move on.

Distinguished lines make a classic statement in this well-appointed home. By JANE EVANS A STATELY facade and elegant interior combined with such a highly sought-after location makes this a classic family home. The Dalkeith residence is on an elevated 1012 sq m site with a right-of-way. It was designed to afford everyone in the family some space of their own as well as big open living areas to come together. The foyer features a picture window looking onto a limestone and tiled pond. Some 680 square metres of living space comprises a large kitchen overlooking a casual dining and lounge area featuring a marble gas fireplace. The Miele kitchen has an abundance of storage, two ovens, an extensive walk-in pantry and cellar, and connects to a large laundry, which was designed with room for school bags, sports gear, linen and homewares. Double doors open out to a protected alfresco area with a built-in barbecue, landscaped gardens and an elevated swimming pool. Outside speakers feature in the alfresco area while there is surround sound in the formal and informal lounge rooms. Across the hallway, through french doors, is an inter-connected formal living and dining area. There is also a study overlooking the front landscaped gardens. Also on this level, a massive games room or playroom is adjacent to a guest wing with a walk-in robe and ensuite. The remaining four bedrooms and three

bathrooms are situated upstairs, and all of them have phone and internet connections. Servicing them is another versatile activity room, which the current owners use as their children’s music room. There is also ducted vacuuming, a

separate lock-up pool room, a large attic and full reticulation to the landscaped gardens. With a quality fit-out and immaculate presentation, this home provides everything one could want in a prestigious location. ■

TOP TIPS FOR BUYING LAND

THE start of 2011 has seen a number of major land developers in Perth offering attractive incentive packages to boost land sales. While these incentives will be welcomed by many property buyers, it is important to keep in mind the key fundamentals that should be considered when buying any block of land. This week OrangeTee Gossip Realty principal and licensee Kara Tripp shares her top tips on buying a block of land. 1. LOCATION The location of the estate in which you are buying the block will determine its long-term capital growth. For example, new housing estates which are located close to the coast will prove more popular with future buyers because of the growing importance of lifestyle living which coastal properties offer. New estates that have a limited time frame to build a home mean that it will be established more quickly and this will improve the resale value of the properties. 2. SIZE MATTERS Check the size of the block in square metres. This will give you a comparison for the prices of nearby blocks.You should also pick a block in an estate that is more unique than others i.e. overlooking a park. This will appeal to future property buyers. The shape of the block is also very important. A narrow block will limit the type of house you can build. Blocks with a steep gradient that have not been retained will incur high building costs 3.AVOID TRAFFIC Be careful not to buy a home on a busy road because these homes are more difficult to sell. In a new estate, a road may appear quiet because not many houses have been built. However, this may change when all of the houses in the estate have been built. It is therefore wise to carefully look at the master plan of the estate to check the future flow of traffic. 4.THINK GREEN If you want to build an environmentally friendly home then the amount of sunlight the block will receive is very important. Even the most poorly oriented block can look sunny and elevated when it is vacant. It is therefore important to get an expert opinion on how your block’s exposure to sun, wind and rain will affect the home you hope to build. 5. QUALITY The quality of a land development is very significant in determining future capital growth rates of blocks because of the growing importance of ‘branding’ in real estate sales. Established homebuyers want impressive entry statements and developments with lifestyle facilities such as parks and cycle paths. A good tip is to check the master plan for the new housing development which will give you an overview of the facilities planned for the estate. You should also check how much the developer plans to spend on landscaping and how much of the estate will be dedicated to open space area. ■

Architecturally designed, the brand-new, trilevel home blends comfortably into the hillside on an undulating block that captures superb vistas. The stylish residence has a Grey Linea exterior with Colorbond roof that contrasts appealingly with the native surrounds and easy-

care, low-maintenance gardens. An extensive, large, marble-paved driveway leads to a double carport, which has a goodsize store room and a lockable open storage area. Inside the home, marri flooring features throughout for a warm and comforting ambience enhanced by the neutrally toned décor. Extras include a security system and Daiken ducted airconditioning throughout. Sectioned into three levels, the middle contains the bulk of the living areas. The entryway leads upstairs to an open-plan kitchen, dining and living area, which has breathtaking views and high shadow-lined ceilings that accentuate space and light. The large kitchen has a big walk-in pantry,

quality white cupboards with softclosing drawers, granite bench top, island bench and stainless-steel appliances. Also on this level are a powder room and an enormous wall of windows with sliding doors that lead to the huge jarrah deck with cedarlined ceiling and an outdoor kitchen with built-in BBQ. Two queen-size master bedrooms with builtin robes, luxury carpets and individual ensuites are on the top level. Both of the bathrooms have double showers, semi-frameless shower screens, beautiful tap ware, vanity with side shelves for plenty of storage, china toilets and a tasteful décor with

white wall tiles and taupe floor tiles. Back on the first level, there are the two remaining bedrooms and a second living space that accesses the deck and would be suitable as a theatre. A large main bathroom, hidden laundrette and a huge deck the same size as on the top level also feature on this floor. ■

COASTAL & COUNTRY

Ocean views just the start Holiday home, rental property or development site – the options are endless, writes SAMANTHA JONES THE appeal of this Dunsborough property lies in its location. Just a few streets back from Geographe Bay, the opportunity for breathtaking ocean vistas are plentiful. The home is on a 1012sq m block that has duplex approval valid until 2013. The new owners will have a variety of options at their disposal. One such option would be building a side-by-side development with outstanding views of Geographe Bay. The current owner will consider splitting the block if potential purchasers should desire.

Currently, a double storey beach shack is on the block and is being rented. Neat and tidy, the residence has appeal, with a predominantly cream exterior highlighted by bursts of colour that complement the native greenery that surrounds the home Inside the home, there are open living spaces, four bedrooms and two bathrooms. At $325 per week rent, it could be used as a holiday home or short-term rental investment. Not far from the town centre, this property is close to amenities and a host of South-West attractions. ■

LUXURY LIVING

Pair bring beautiful designs to colourful life Neil and Jenny Delmage strive to create the very best gardens they can, writes JANE EVANS IF Neil and Jenny Delmage are going to stop for a coffee during the day, they like to have it somewhere overlooking the ocean. This way of thinking embodies the Cottesloe-based couple’s casual disposition and affection for nature, which after 25 years as Perth’s leading landscape designers, is hardly surprising. The well known couple, of Naturescape Creative Landscaping, have worked on hundreds of gardens, ranging from tiny courtyard spaces to sprawling rural properties – winning them numerous national awards – and have had their gardens featured in Home Beautiful, House and Garden and Country Style magazines. The Delmages have also appeared on national television programs such as Gardening Australia and Burke’s Backyard. In 2010, Neil and Jenny released their second pictorial book, From Coast to Country, showcasing their extensive photographic library of work, which has since been picked up by lead-

ing publishing house Penguin Books Australia. Published by Fremantle Press, the 144-page book features some of their most spectacular landscape designs, accompanied throughout by Jenny’s stunning watercolour sketches. Neil developed his training in gardening while Jenny is a graphic artist who studied architectural drawing. “We design all our gardens by hand,” she said. “I like to give each client a watercolour sketch of the design so that they can compare the end result with the vision. “It’s different from designing an interior or building, this is a living thing so I like to bring it to life through drawing.” In addition to creating classic and beautiful gardens around Australia, the couple are relentless advocates of producing water-wise gardens that blend seamlessly into the environment. “With water fast becoming a scarce commodity in Australia, sustainability is the key,” said Neil. “Australians tend to over water, whereas in

Europe and America, they adapt their gardens to the climate.” The couple also believe in salvaging what they can, wherever they can, whether it be gates, existing pavers or plants. “We want to help people,” said Jenny, “and create the very best garden we can.” As we left the Cottesloe cafe where I interviewed the Delmages, Jenny waved to the third patron she knew there. “See, we could never drop our standard of work, or do anything half-heartedly,” she laughed. “The western suburbs is too small.” ■
