Grand riverside lifestyle

Rentals on the rise

$120m North Fremantle project has 58 apartments and five penthouses

Encouraging trend for investors

Hard to beat a view like this.

JAXON’S latest riverside address is a beauty. Situated in North Fremantle, the Rivershores project is valued at $120 million and includes 58 residential apartments and five luxurious penthouses with access to a gymnasium, 20-metre swimming pool, onsite cafe and uninterrupted river views. Jaxon general manager Peter Goulios said the development represented a unique lifestyle at a soughtafter location on the Swan River. “The newly completed Rivershores display apartment brings our vision of luxury riverside living to reality, combining stunning river views with the highest standard in quality and design,” he said. “We have partnered with leading lifestyle brands and designers to assist homebuyers in selecting the highest quality furnishings and finishes for their apartment.” Located in the Riverside building, the display apartment offers uninterrupted river views from both bed-

rooms, as well as the kitchen and living areas. “As you walk into the apartment’s living area you are met with expansive river views complemented by contemporary Monro furnishings and the latest audio visual systems by Bang & Olufsen,” Mr Goulios said. “The living area and bedrooms maximise natural light through full height glazing and open up onto a generous courtyard providing an outdoor space with one of the best views in Perth.” Mr Goulios said the apartment’s contemporary styling extends to the white, streamlined kitchen and wellappointed bathrooms.

“Quality Miele appliances complete a gourmet kitchen with stone benchtops and lacquered gloss cabinetry, while full-height tiling and premium Reece fixtures are fitted in the bathrooms and laundry.” To assist buyers with styling their apartment, Jaxon has partnered with Monro and Bang & Olufsen to offer expert advice on a range of high-end furnishings. Appointments to view the display apartment can be made by contacting a Rivershores sales agent or visiting the Rivershores sales suite at Unit 2/4 Doepel Street, North Fremantle. Apartments are priced from $762,000 to $3.5 million and POA for penthouse apartments. Construction commenced in February 2010 and is scheduled for completion in spring 2011.

THE latest REIWA rental figures show that weekly rents in Perth are beginning to rise and this could boost property investment. According to Professionals Real Estate CEO David Hobbs this will give further stimulus to the 2011 property investment market. Mr Hobbs said that the latest REIWA figures show the rental vacancy rate in Perth is now around 3.4% compared to 4.6% for the beginning of 2010. “Professionals, which manage several thousand rental properties throughout Perth, has also recorded a major fall in rental vacancy rates with a growing number of areas in the northern, eastern and southern suburbs now registering vacancy rates less than 3%,” he said. “Traditionally, when vacancy rates fall below 3%, landlords begin to increase rents and this trend is reflected by a $10 rise in the Perth median weekly rent to $380 over recent months. Based on current trends, Professionals expects median weekly rent in Perth could easily rise above $400 this year. “The strengthening of the WA economy during 2011 will mean that the demand for rental accommodation will increase over the coming months and this will put even greater pressure on vacancy rates and rental prices.’’ Mr Hobbs said that rising weekly rents were occur-

ring during a time when property prices were at rock bottom in many lower priced suburbs. “As a result of rising rents and very competitive property prices, Professionals has recorded a 30% jump in enquiries during the past month from investors looking for properties in lower-priced suburbs. “Professionals are finding rising levels of interest from investors because the underlying value of properties that are favoured by investors can be largely determined by the weekly rent a property delivers.” For first-time investors, he said the challenge was to select rental properties that would deliver high levels of rental returns as well as high rates of capital growth. “Traditionally, properties located close to the river, ocean and city centre deliver higher rates of capital growth than the market average over the longer term,’’ he said. “Properties in these locations can also deliver high rates of rental returns – but the investor has to carefully look at the supply of rental properties in the area. “A good tip is to check newspapers and the internet for the number of properties available for rent in the local area you want to buy an investment property. “It is also worthwhile comparing these rental figures with surrounding areas.” ■

Simply salubrious Two master suites, spacious elegant rooms in grand historic home, writes JANE EVANS AIRLIE House is just a beautiful old Claremont home. It may sound simple, but it is actually the simplicity of this house that makes it so wonderful. You won’t find a lift here, nor will you find smart wiring or a home theatre. But you will find a full-size tennis court (on the 2087 sq m grounds), soaring high ceilings and spacious rooms, stunning leadlight windows, jarrah floors and the most elegant of living and dining areas, inside and out. The historic, early 1900s home has been contextually extended and exceptionally restored, offering unequalled accommodation and amenities. Impressive formal areas merge with ambient informal zones and a romantic entertainment pavilion/summerhouse. The home features four bedrooms and four bathrooms plus several sitting and study areas, a library, children’s play room, gallery and separate studio. There is a choice of two master suites, one of which has a picturesque view over the cham-

pionship tennis court, also a perfect venue for sophisticated soirees. The kitchen is contemporary but timeless and is flanked by a casual meals/family area opening to a loggia. There is so much house to be enjoyed, perfectly fitting for a large family. A plunge pool and spa are equipped with outdoor kitchen facilities and when it’s time to get out, a lovely shaded area at the very rear of the estate features a lovely old-fashioned bar for yummy cocktails to be served. Built in 1915 by Arthur Cramond, the home was originally on Harry Street but Mr Cramond lobbied the neighbours and local council for the street to be renamed Airlie after his ancestral home in Forfar, Scotland – a name he deemed far more “salubrious” than Harry. Thus, now stands Airlie House on Airlie Street – and a fine house it is. ■

International flavour Travel the world without leaving Mt Claremont. By JANE EVANS WHEN the owners of this Mt Claremont home arrived from America, they sought a house with a bit of charm. This provincial-inspired two level residence in St John Wood’s estate fitted the bill perfectly. “You could be anywhere in the world in this house,” said one owner. “The style is a mixture of French, Mexican and Tuscan,” On the hill in one of the estate’s most coveted streets, this sprawling home spans 750sq m and comprises five bedrooms, three bathrooms and several internal living areas. A tall limestone wall and wrought iron gate secures the property, which is flanked by a picturesque courtyard with loose stones, citrus trees, a fishpond and an aviary. Limestone, terracotta, timber, hand painted tiles, brass and glass light fittings feature throughout, creating warm, rustic character. At the core of the property is a huge galley kitchen and cosy open living room with vaulted ceilings, exposed timber beams and a limestone fireplace. A mezzanine above the kitchen can be used as a study, art studio or children’s play room. Off the kitchen, a sunlit breakfast room features french doors that open on to beau-

There are two bedrooms downstairs and a guest bathroom with a shower and bath. On the upper level, the master suite has its own ensuite and a private balcony to enjoy a morning coffee. It is joined by two additional bedrooms, a study and main bathroom. The formal lounge and dining rooms are at the front of the home and feature limestone archways and terracotta and wooden floors, creating a warm, intimate ambience – perfect for winter entertaining. ■

Cream of the crop An unparalleled lifestyle on offer. By JANE EVANS WITH dolphins and pelicans gliding past your balcony each day, enjoy an unparalleled lifestyle in Perth’s most sought-after apartment complex, the Raffles Waterfront. Designed with a sophisticated lifestyle in mind, the kitchen and lounge and dining areas of this luxury apartment connect to the balcony through floor-to-ceiling glass windows so the advantages of the apartment’s elevated position can be fully appreciated. Uninterrupted views of the city skyline and the calm waters of the river provide an idyllic backdrop to this executive home. A custom-built kitchen takes centre stage in the open-plan design, and features Miele appliances, Caesar stone bench tops and sleek vinyl-wrapped cupboards, with an abundance of storage options. The spacious master bedroom has its own private balcony, twin

built-in robes and a luxury ensuite complete with a bath, frameless shower, toilet and Caesar stone vanity fashioned in the same colour palette as the kitchen. An east-facing balcony is protected from the elements and is wide enough to accommodate everyone during the annual Australia Day sky show. With just a footpath separating the complex from the river’s edge, heading out for a morning jog or bike ride along the waterfront is made super-easy. Return in time to do a few laps or a weight session in the private pool and gym before winding down with a relaxing sauna. The complex features high-level security, including a video doorbell, swipe card access and a concierge, ensuring privacy is always maintained. The apartment has two secure car bays, and city commuters will enjoy the close proximity to the freeway entrance and the Canning Bridge train station. ■

1 Jubilee Crescent City Beach

A wonderful and complete family home in a truly unique location, on arguably South City’s Best street. “As new”, and beautifully presented throughout, this home will whisk you away to the Italian country-side with its olive tree hedges and its rich warm use of timbers, limestone and kiln fired terracotta roof tiles. One of the best blocks on Jubilee due to its position right out on the bend in the street, so that the front of the block has a western boundary with no bordering neighbour enabling un-interrupted views straight down Jubilee Cres, as well as the incredible park views to the North. The northerly aspect floods the home with natural light and takes in a wide expanse of coast and greenery with a sweeping aspect over beautiful Jubilee Park to the ocean beyond - even taking in a glimpse of the City Beach Groyne Tower - the true holy grail of South City Beach views! The home itself is wonderful. With its quaint European charm and its aspect over Jubilee’s rolling pastures, it has the feel of a Tuscan farmhouse rather than a Perth Beachside home. The floor plan is generous and functional, with large and plentiful rooms, open spaces indoor/outdoor flow and natural light. French doors open to expansive rear lawns fringed with grapevines.

White plantation shutters filter north light from the park and ocean through to the main living and master bedrooms. The feature stone fire place gives the air conditioned home a warm ambience. Cedar windows, jarrah boards and rustic timber and wrought iron double front doors add age and intangible character to the home. The second story “breakfast terrace” feels as if you could reach out and touch the dunes! There are 5 king size bedrooms and three bathrooms (including the guest suite on the ground floor), a small office, a large studio and three living rooms. The floor plan works very comfortably for a modern family, with everyone having plenty of private space to enjoy time alone, and a choice of family living spaces for together time. It has clearly been a happy family home for the current owners Locations do not get any better than this, homes do not come any more inviting, and investments could not be more promising.

8/2 Ventnor Street Scarborough

All offers by May 23rd These homes were inspired by the Cote D’Azur on the French Riviera on the SE coast of France, where residents enjoy mesmerising azure blue views from elevated homes on the steep coastal hillsides that plunge into the Mediterranean Sea….and it is not hard to work out why! You are purchasing one of only 9 properties in the iconic “Cote D’Azure” dwellings sharing a near ¾ acre corner site perched high on an oceanfront ridge on the City Beach border of the southern Brighton beachfront. A timeless and impeccably maintained development terraced into the hillside and designed such that incredible and mesmerizing views are preserved maximized and celebrated for each of the fortunate owners within this tightly held complex. Perhaps far more enchanting than that of its name-sake is the beach in front of this property – directly over the road (The beach track Brighton Beach Track #3 is literally 50m from your front door!) Walk through the winding track as it meanders around picturesque and untouched dune systems brimming with unique ﬂora and fauna until you emerge at what is perhaps the most quiet and reclusive stretch of beachfront on the entire Perth Coastline. To have such a desolate stretch of back beach this close to the centre of Perth City is truly quite amazing. Even during a summer heat wave, when

you can see the bikini clad throngs in the distance at Scarborough beach to the north and the action packed City Beach dog beach to the south, you would be lucky to share the waters at the end of Track 3 with one or two other people, and on most occasions there is not another soul around. The home on offer at Cote D’Azure (No 8) is perhaps the perfect mid sized dwelling. Incredibly secure, with keyless entry, it has a sweeping open plan central living area with incredible views, opening onto a large backyard with built in outdoor kitchen and room for a dog and a veggie patch! There is certainly no compromising in this “downsize”! Completely renovated throughout, Accommodation consists of 3 double bedrooms plus study/ofﬁce two brand new bathrooms, and a modern kitchen. Polished boards, new carpets, built in wine fridges and a double lock up garage complete the picture. Book your inspection today! Absolutely all offers presented by 5pm May 23rd. (Seller reserves the right to sell prior) WILL BE SOLD.
