Agency’s heart in right place with boot camp OrangeTee Gossip Realty organises fitness program for inner city residents, workers Peter Clements.
Bayview Terrace, Claremont
Revitalised Claremont makes its run Opening of second stage of Quarter giving the area traction, agent maintains CLAREMONT is fast becoming one of the western suburbs’ best performers, especially since the opening of the second stage of the Claremont Quarter last month, according to local real estate agent Peter Clements of William Porteous Properties International. “I think that the next quarterly figures for Claremont will surprise everyone,” he said. “Nedlands had a great run in 2010 with a huge amount of sales, and prices grew in comparison to Claremont; however, Nedlands is resting now and Claremont is making its run.”
He said there had been a noticeable change in buyers’ behaviour in Claremont, attributable to convenience. “With the Quarter in such close proximity to the heritage precinct (Mary Street to Brown Street between Stirling Highway and Gugeri Street), the Quarter means not having to jump in the car to go to the shops, bars and restaurants, as it’s just a stroll away. “The proof is that the square metre rate for land in the precinct is now higher than south of the highway or the river side.” Mr Clements said most people were
frustrated with traffic stoppages and a lack of parking during the Quarter’s construction, but that was now a “thing of the past”. “This is combined with the fact that Claremont has been a resting giant during the global financial crisis with prices coming off since the heady times,” he added. Mr Clements recently sold 21 Chester Road, Claremont for $6.3 million and 15 Vaucluse Avenue, Claremont for around $4 million, which he believes demonstrates great signs of recovery for the area. ■
BY getting their pulses racing, the team at OrangeTee Gossip Realty have raised valuable funds for the Heart Foundation. The real estate agency organised a fitness ‘boot camp’ for residents and workers in the inner city area over the past six weeks. According to OrangeTee principal and licensee Kara Tripp, the fitness program was designed by Laura Russell who works with the company as a sales administrator. “Laura holds a degree from the University of Western Australia in exercise and health science, and is taking time off from her career to work in the real estate sector,’’ she said. “Every Wednesday evening for the past six weeks, Laura
guided local residents and workers through a specially designed fitness program which was held in a number of inner city parks. “People who took part in the boot camp were asked to make a small financial contribution which Gossip Realty will donate to The Heart Foundation. “The boot camp proved very popular with the local community and we plan to organise a similar boot camp later this year which again will raise funds for The Heart Foundation.” Anyone who would like to register their interest for future boot camps organised by Gossip Realty can contact the company on 1800 123 125. ■

In a world of its own This tri-level waterfront home in City Beach offers a holiday feel with the convenience of city living, writes JANE EVANS THIS waterfront home in south City Beach emulates the type of holiday home you might find down south – easy, breezy and luxurious. Two of the home’s three floors enjoy the stunning natural vista of 180-degree uninterrupted ocean views, which can never be built out. Quality and class best describes the Branksome Avenue property, which offers the ultimate in space, convenience and privacy, sprawled over a 692sq m block. There are four expansive bedrooms and three bathrooms. A study on the ground floor, the entrance level, is perfectly positioned for a home office so visitors never have to go through the house. Adjacent to the study is a temperaturecontrolled walk-in cellar. There are vast living areas on the first floor, which include a separate home theatre, a games room, family room and full indoor/outdoor kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a pizza oven. The free-flowing interior opens to a stunning lap pool that runs the length of the home and a spa flanked by a timber deck and minimally landscaped back yard.
A separate wing on this level has a guest bedroom and two minor bedrooms with built-in desks, and can be shut off from the rest of the house. The top floor of the home features the expansive and decadent master bedroom with its own lounge and bar area, plus private balcony – you couldn't ask for a better view. A vestibule featuring a wall of floor to ceiling mirrored robes provides the perfect dressing room leading to the ensuite. South City Beach offers a premier lifestyle – with only 300 homes, the enclave is one of the most exclusive locations. Close to the city, yet worlds away, the holiday feel extends further than just the house. ■

Rents need monitoring Landlords urged to use professional managers or risk missing out on thousands of dollars in potential income WITH rental vacancy rates now falling in Perth, landlords have been urged to review rents on a regular basis to make sure they are reflective of market prices. According to Jones Ballard Property Group, weekly rents had not been regularly reviewed by a private landlord for a property on Labouchere Road in South Perth, with the property being leased for $400 per week when Jones Ballard took over the management of the property. After a review by Jones Ballard, the property was re-leased for $470 per week, meaning the property will now generate over $3600 in additional rental income during the coming year. Jones Ballard operations manager Cassandra Mason said the company leased a record 40 properties during February and had already leased more than 20 this month.
“This high demand for rental properties has meant that our rental vacancy rate has fallen to 2.9 per cent and there is now an upward pressure on rents,’’ she said. “Jones Ballard regularly reviews the weekly rents of the properties we manage and current reviews are resulting in average weekly rents rising between $10 to $20.” Ms Mason said if landlords did not undertake regular rental reviews, they could be missing out on thousands of dollars each year. “Many private landlords such as the one on Labouchere Road, very often do not have the time or experience to review and re-set weekly rents, in contrast to landlords who use the services of property management companies,’’ she said. “With weekly rents now rising in Perth, this regular review is now paramount to boosting their annual cash flow.” ■

CITY BEACH 17 BENDIGO WAY
This home ticks all the family-friendly boxes, writes JANE EVANS IF there was ever a perfect family home, this is it. A back yard that spills directly on to open parkland with direct access to the beach, a modern, light filled interior and a warm homely ambience are just some of its desirable features. Subtly hidden on a quiet street among shady peppermint trees, few would ever pass by Bendigo Way. The owners bought the original 1970s home in 2007 and immediately fell in love with its “good bones”. Two years later, they stripped it to a shell and injected colour, light and a fabulous contemporary fit out. They also pulled down a section of the rear fence to allow full interaction with the park and playground. Wanting to integrate the indoor and outdoor, they opened up much of the house with cedarframed bifold doors and windows, creating versatile living spaces both inside and out.

Landscaped gardens surround the saltwater pool, which is flanked by several entertaining areas. Another functional feature of the home is clever separation, with adult and guest living on the ground floor, and all minor bedrooms and an activity room on the first floor – super handy for the owner’s three children (aged 10 and under.) The master bedroom opens on to a lush bamboo fringed courtyard, which is also the stunning entrance way into the home. The striking kitchen is designed around a central stainless steel island bench and stove with canopy rangehood. A Bisazza mosaic tiled feature wall enhances the space. After dinner, a gas log fire in the lounge room awaits, encased in a stylish stucco polished concrete feature wall. With all the above and the beach just a short three-minute walk away, this inspiring property is faultless. ■

Coastal ambience optimised Home makes most of location. By JANE EVANS JUST metres to the water’s edge, this near-new architectdesigned home pays homage to its beachside locale. The luxuriously appointed family home is designed around an indoor-outdoor flow with most rooms facing out to the gardens or towards the ocean. There is no shortage of space on the expansive 809sq m block. A sleek galley kitchen with Miele stainless steel appliances including a built-in coffee machine occupies the central area of the ground floor. It overlooks a free-flowing dining and lounge area with sliding doors out to landscaped rear gardens and a swimming pool surrounded by lush lawn areas and water features. There are three designated outdoor living zones, which include an alfresco dining area, outdoor lounge and sun deck. In addition, the master suite upstairs features stackable slid-
ing doors opening on to a striking, cantilevered balcony with breathtaking ocean views. All bedrooms are generous in size and all have built-in robes. There is also a dedicated home office, just off the front entrance, ideal for anyone wishing to work from home. The master suite is huge and has an open ensuite allowing owners to watch the wallmounted LCD or enjoy ocean views from the bedroom or the bathtub. A gas log fire on the ground floor provides a warm ambience for winter months while Italian Travertine flooring is both cooling and practical for sandy feet from the beach. Additional features include a roof-mounted remote controlled projector and theatre screen, a teenager’s retreat, a cellar, a monitored security system, a wall-mounted flat screen television and ducted reversecycle air conditioning. This home offers sophisticated coastal living in one of Perth’s premier beachside locations.

Grand continental opulence One of Peppy Grove’s finest homes, writes JANE EVANS THIS is the last chance to secure one of Peppermint Grove’s finest properties. Designed to emulate the best in European living, this boutique residence on the corner of Forrest Street commands attention. The four-level French provincial home features a rendered and face-brick facade with arched french windows, classic wrought iron balustrades and superior landscaping. Designed by building designer Leone Spiccia of the renowned practice, L. Spiccia and Associ-
ates, this exclusive home is one of only four. After completion in 2000, Peppermint Grove Shire president Brian Kavanagh said, “the quality of construction and workmanship in the building of the dwellings is of the highest standard I have observed in a residential development.” A private gated entry provides added security. Inside, a combination of marble and travertine finishes lines the interior. The home has an elegant formal lounge, dining and kitchen with bi-fold doors opening to a cedar-lined indoor/outdoor room with an awning. High lacquered metallic cabinetry with
Miele appliances and granite bench tops are features of the kitchen. Around the corner, an internal lift services all levels of the home. At basement level, a beautifully designed, custom-built wine cellar featuring american oak cabinetry is an intimate space to enjoy a few wines with guests. Flanking this is a huge media room or activity area, again ideal for entertaining. There are three bedrooms, all on the second level of the home. The master features a luxurious marble ensuite with a spa bath. A loft on the fourth level is an ideal studio or
guest retreat with a feature gabled roof that allows rooftop vistas across to Cottesloe through french windows. No expense has been spared in this luxurious design. Additional features include double glazed windows, acoustic insulated walls, a touchscreen C.Bus lighting control system, an advanced monitored security system and ducted vacuum system. In a prime position in Peppermint Grove, this survey strata block is ideal for those wanting a luxurious home that allows them to lock up and leave without a second thought. ■

Setting standard in luxury apartment living This magnificent penthouse apartment in Crawley offers the very best in both location and luxury. By JANE EVANS THERE is apartment living and then there is this apartment living. The two-level residence is practically a fullsized home, at the top of an exclusive complex, overlooking the picturesque Matilda Bay. Everything about this home redefines apartment living. When the owners bought the property five years ago, they completely refurbished and reshaped the interior, sparing no expense.
A lift opens straight into the foyer of this exquisite top-floor home. A sweeping grand staircase leads the eye up to a stained-glass dome skylight, enhanced by a void to the second storey. The first floor comprises a formal dining and lounge room, informal living, kitchen and dining room at one end, and a guest room, powder room, bathroom and home theatre at the other end.
terrace with synthetic grass that overlooks the complex’s shared tennis court and pool. The master bedroom faces the riverside and has a 180-degree view of the river. The beautifully appointed bathrooms feature the finest fittings and the ensuite bathroom is particularly lavish. In a complex of just four exclusive apartments, this unique penthouse is close to Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club, Steve’s Bar and UWA. ■
The formal living and dining areas are opulent, fitted with plush carpet and a marble gas log fireplace. They also feature coffered ceilings, illuminated by concealed lighting that creates a lovely golden glow. The bedrooms are generous in size and each has a walk-in robe. Each bedroom also has access to a balcony. The guest bedrooms share a wide communal

Diplomacy as an art form A new furniture store for the discerning. By CARMELLE WILKINSON WITH a collection you’re more likely to see in a museum than a furniture store, the newly opened Ambassador De Buenos Aires in Leederville offers something unique and special to its customers. After his trip to Buenos Aires in Argentina, owner Greg Baker told Residential he was captivated by the city, its people and the wealth of beautiful art deco furnishings. “Having spent four years establishing Baker & Shuhandler, renovating the new premises with the help of my family and moving us in, I was ready for a new challenge; something that would express my love of elegant, timeless, artisanmade furniture,’’ Mr Baker said. “The Art Deco and Mid Century styles express this to per-
fection. I guess I had learnt a lot from that first business and was ready to put all those lessons into practise in a mature, warm and sophisticated space.” Ambassador was officially opened last week and features a mix of vintage and new furnishings. “All the pieces were hand selected on my trips overseas to Buenos Aires and Shanghai. Many are unique pieces,’’ Mr Baker said. “We’ve carefully selected a blend of vintage and new that would work well in period homes or modern coastal style dwellings. “We’re not a runof-the-mill furniture store, and definitely not an antique shop. I think we have something new and exciting to offer to the Perth interiors scene.” Using recycled timbers where possible, or solid plantation timbers, and classic veneers such as rosewood and burled oak polished to a high gloss with sturdy polished stainless steel, the ranges are all about beauty and craftsmanship. “The Signature range is an exclusive range of Art Deco inspired pieces, custom made for us in our artisans’ workshops in Buenos Aires,’’ Mr Baker said. “Whereas our fully recycled Consul range, has a timeless, industrial aesthetic, with weatherwork timbers and chunky wrought iron fittings.” Mr Baker said he was also proud to display his selection of individually chosen, vintage originals from the treasure troves of Buenos Aires. Ranging from 1930’s French Art

Deco to 1940’s American streamline, and 50s/60s post war modernist, the selection is constantly changing and always a surprise. Ambassador is at 626 Newcastle Street, and is just a few minutes to the cafe strip on Oxford Street. The store offers free in-store consultations for those wanting expert advice on design and decorating needs and a free resource library for those who wish to peruse the many books and magazines whilst enjoying a complimentary latte. For more information call Greg Baker on 9328 4683. ■
