Record $20m sale may be market’s perfect pick-me-up Figures show sales in March and April the strongest since January 2008 TUMBLING house prices at the top end of the market may be sluggish but the sale last week of a property in Dalkeith for a whopping $20 million may just revive confidence in the market. Prominent Perth QC Malcolm McCusker and wife Tonya bought the lavish property at 56 Jutland Parade, believed to be one of the biggest property purchases in our city’s history. The architect-designed six-bedroom, four-bathroom mansion is situated on 2302sqm on the river’s edge. Western suburbs agent William Porteous, who has sold numerous properties along the desirable street, said Jutland Parade was not only one of Perth’s most prestigious addresses, but

probably one of the best streets in Australia. “In 1980 I sold a house at 64 Jutland for $2.150 million, an Australian record at that time,’’ he said. “The property is now worth in excess of $20 million.” It is believed the previous owner of 56
Jutland Parade paid $12.25 million in 2006 for the home, indicating a rise of more than 63 per cent in three years. According to Real Estate Institute of WA deputy president David Airey, March and April have been the strongest two months for sales and enquiries in the western suburbs since January 2008. ■
We’re actually rebounding, say property agents Renewed interest in mid-range market and sales activity spark confidence that figures will show growth in median prices. By CARMELLE SANDER PERTH property prices may have taken a tumble in the past 12 months, but local agents are confident the market is bouncing back and the prognosis is positive. Figures released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics show Perth was the hardest hit city of any capital city, dropping 10.1 per cent. However, according to most agents, this decline in property values was mainly isolated to the higher end of the market, and the middle and lower ends were in fact performing quite strongly. Brendan Leahy from Brendan Leahy Real Estate said it was important to acknowledge the previous property boom when examining these figures. “It was always expected that there would be a market correction in values and this has

occurred,’’ he said.
time the final figure is released,’’ he said.
“We are finding now that more buyers are confident about the economy and higher rental yields are attracting more investors back into the market.”
“REIWA’s own industry data, which is a sample of about 80 per cent of all sales, indicates the Perth metro median has moved up by around two per cent in the March quarter.
Fruit Property Applecross principal Ross Calnan said traffic at homes open in his area was up 20 per cent and feedback from new arrivals to the city was that Perth was the best place to ride out the storm of the current financial crisis. “The sub-$500,000 market is still where the most activity is. However we are seeing renewed interest in the $700,000-$900,000 range,’’ he said. REIWA president Rob Druitt said the ABS would be revisiting this figure of 10 per cent again in the June quarter. “We expect this number will vary by the
“The calendar month of March in particular has been very strong for sales, and the settled data accounts for only about 60 per cent of data currently available. The ABS release must be seen in this context. “There are also some methodological and calculating differences between the ABS and REIWA data.” Mr Druitt said REIWA was confident that when final figures were in for March they would in all likelihood show growth, and not a decline, in the Perth median price. ■
TOP PROPERTY TIPS FOR TODAY
THIS week Peard Real Estate Group managing director Stuart Cox gives his top tips on buying a home for the longer term.
HOLD FOR AS LONG AS POSSIBLE Over a 10-year period this can mean an additional capital growth of more than $200,000 for a home originally purchased for $400,000, depending on location. This is a relatively long time and it is important that you choose a home that is not only comfortable but also delivers high levels of capital growth. MINIMISE YOUR RISKS Holding a home over the long term also means that you minimise your risks. If you hold onto the property for at least 10 years, you should be able to achieve high rates of capital growth. RESEARCH Buying a property with long-term prospects takes time and research. You have to be patient and clearly understand dynamics of the real estate market. It is important to get independent information when undertaking your research. LIFESTYLE AND INFRASTRUCTUREE Properties that have lifestyle attractions are now proving popular with property buyers. New infrastructure can also have a positive impact on long-term property values. POTENTIAL GROWTH You should also check future population trends. The more people move into an area, the greater will be demand. The population of Mandurah and Rockingham is expected to surge and this will mean that properties should increase strongly in value.

REVIEWS Lots of front and plenty to back it up Most rooms in this luxury house have vast foreshore and river views. By ROMENA MANNING WITH the largest frontage on Burke Drive, it is not surprising that most rooms in this luxury house have vast foreshore and river views. Thanks to its elevation and landscaping, the best can be made of its north-facing front while privacy is maintained. Bi-fold and sliding glass doors open from a long, open-plan living area to a stylish outdoor alfresco and pool space. Owner Pauline Dunn said she and her husband built the house in 2005 wanting a place they could entertain in, and this set-up not only achieves that but also maximises the picturesque outlooks. “It’s great, because the whole place opens up and in winter you can close it all up and still have beautiful views,” she said. She said deliberate positioning meant that sun and wind never affected the alfresco area or a balcony on the second floor, which
opens from a lounge room and main bedroom. Bedrooms are arranged around the upstairs lounge room and while each bedroom is doublesized, each minor bedroom has been customised to suit different needs in the form of walk-in wardrobe space, desk and shelf space and the main is fitted with all the features expected of a premium residence. Pauline’s favourite area is the kitchen, where Wenge timber cupboards feature heavily, complemented by Essastone benchtops, stainless-steel appliances and glass splashbacks. “I love the huge kitchen – everyone always ends up congregating around the breakfast bar – it’s a great focal point,” she said. Although high ceilings, liberal use of glass and large rooms in an open format create a ‘big house’ feel, a blend of natural materials and colours adds warmth and gives it a homely, welcoming feel. ■

Space, style, function in perfect harmony This home by a multi award-winning designer will meet the most exacting standards, writes ROMENA MANNING
IN true Kurlansky style, this house has the perfect amalgamation of space, style and function. Designed by the distinguished, awardwinning Yael Kurlansky, a living area is at the core of the house, while bedroom wings create a great sense of separation. The owner said this hub was her favourite area, where a complete blend between inside and outside was achieved. She said the marine ply-lined roof gave a beautiful feel and loved how through large windows and glass doors the whole area overlooked a pool. Stepping down from its entry, a storagelined passage has a laundry at one side and
opens to a kitchen filled with timber-grain cabinetry, CaesarStone benchtops and an array of integrated appliances. While aesthetically interesting, this area also serves its purpose – complete with underslung preparation sink plus a double sink, concealed appliances cupboard and walk-in pantry, with a breakfast table and office nook at its fringes. An angled ceiling soars from the kitchen and dining area to the lounge room, adding an impressive feeling of space. It continues out to an alfresco area with kitchen, which opens out and steps down to landscaped, easy-care gardens and a manicured lawn and appears open to the
pool area thanks to a frameless glass balustrade. At entry level, a children’s wing has two double-sized bedrooms and bathroom, leading down to a guest suite and a large activity room at the back that overlooks the backyard. On an elevated level, a swanky main bedroom suite is completely isolated and has its own study opening to a decked, dracaena-lined platform, a dressing roomstyle walk-in wardrobe and a luxury ensuite, with back-to-back vanity units a central feature. Superior and interesting finishes top off the first-rate property. ■

Hidden gem is a surprise packet Walk down a tiny laneway in Subiaco and discover the beauty – both inside and out – of this spacious, luxury two-storey home, writes AMANDA RANKIN FORGET driving. everything you need is right on the doorstep of this fabulous, very private Subiaco residence. Tucked away down a tiny laneway just seconds from the train station, shopping centre and cafes of Subi Centro, the true beauty of this two-storey terrace is not revealed until the front door opens. Then the vista is revealed. The house is situated right on lush, landscaped parkland and clever design has ensured that the outlook is fantastic from as many rooms as possible. On the ground level, three walls of glass look over the park and lead onto a private entertainer’s courtyard with uninterrupted views of the greenery beyond. The kitchen also benefits from the view and literally sparkles with silver-flecked black granite benches, silver-look cabinetry and a bold, red splashback. Luxurious fittings abound in this striking property and there are more than a few quirky features such as the lilac floor tiles in
the downstairs bathroom and boldly coloured feature walls. There is also a surprising amount of space, with all rooms generously proportioned and storage galore, including an attic. Upstairs is a magnificent master bedroom perched high over the park. Floor-to-ceiling windows give the room an amazing sense of space and there is a private balcony. His and hers walk-in robes and a massive ensuite bathroom complete this fabulous, serene space. A multi-purpose room on the ground level is currently set up as a home theatre and courtesy of the state-of-the-art sound system, the home is wired for sound and entertainment. In fact, from the gourmet kitchen to the huge alfresco area, this is a fun home that is crying out for entertainment. Best Bid expressions of interest close May 25 at 5pm. ■

Gobsmacking grandeur is a showstopper On 14ha, including a nine-hole golf course, and taking two years to build, the result is awesome, writes SAMANTHA JONES
DESCRIBING this 14.25ha rural estate as merely magnificent would be an injustice to an outstanding, sprawling property. Offering commanding views of the estate, the architecturally designed french provincial limestone mansion overlooks a spring-fed ornamental lake. Two years in the making, the home reflects these extensive efforts with its five bedrooms, five bathrooms and outstanding living areas. Large medieval solid timber doors provide access to a soaring entry room that leads to the 260sqm entertainment area. Dubbed the ‘Great Room’, it has a wrought-iron chandelier, cobblestone flooring, limestone feature walls and an open fireplace. Similar to a baronial hall, the area has a separate scullery for the preparation of food, which complements the kitchen and meals area. A grand staircase provides access to the second storey, which features accommodation, a separate gallery area and a large

balcony. Located upstairs, the master suite has two separate ensuites and walk-in robes, and contains a study with a large desk and a floor-to-ceiling bookcase with a library rack ladder to access the upper shelves. There are also french doors that open to two separate large balconies to provide views from two perspectives over the grounds. Two of the remaining four bedrooms also have their own ensuites.
A nine-hole golf course is a significant point of difference for this quite exceptional property, which in addition to the idyllic mansion, has landscaped grounds, a small orchard, picturesque dam and a commercial pump system. This system reticulates the whole property and has sufficient power to supply water for rural pursuits such as olives or vines. ■

SECRET HARBOUR
CARMELLE SANDER SINCE the 1880s Jutland Parade in Dalkeith has basked in the glory of being one of the best streets in Australia. The stretch of road between Victoria Avenue and Beatrice Road is home to some of Perth’s most lavish mansions. Situated on the banks of the Swan, every home on the street enjoys unbeatable river views. Western suburbs agent William Porteous has been selling property along Jutland Parade for more than 25 years, and said it was without question one of Perth’s most prestigious addresses. “Jutland Parade has a wide variety of homes – most of them very substantial properties on land holdings from 500sqm to 1200sqm,’’ he said. “A number of the owners are very wealthy Asians who came to Australia in the late ’70s and still retain their homes on Jutland Parade, along with media magnate Kerry Stokes and some other major international identities who like to enjoy their privacy here in Perth.” Mr Porteous said historically, Jutland Parade had always been an elite street, even in the early days of the Colony. “Many magnificent homes were built in Dalkeith in the 1800s and remained in place for many years,’’ he said. “The suburb has the beautiful Swan River on three sides and offers some superb home sites with panoramic river views.” Last week the street received much attention after 56 Jutland sold for $20.4 million, believed to be one of the biggest property purchases in Perth’s history. Apart from being adorned with some of the

most beautiful homes in Perth, Jutland Parade is also well located close to the city and a huge number of sporting amenities such as golf, tennis, bowling and yacht clubs. It is also close to the University of Western Australia, prestigious schools and the shopping and dining precinct in Claremont. According to Mr Porteous there is another important factor luring the wealthy to this address. “There is another very important attraction for the wealthy Asian residents, who say that the feng shui of the street is very desirable because the tides of the river wash money up to the banks of the river,’’ he said. “From my experience over the past 30 years, this would definitely be true.” ■

LUXURY LIVING Architect turns attention to interior detail David Hillam opens designer furniture store. By AMANDA RANKIN DISCERNING shoppers on the lookout for the latest in furniture and lighting designs should make a point of visiting Majool in Subiaco. This very stylish store is the brainchild of architect David Hillam, known for his cuttingedge housing designs that cry out for equally modish furniture. “David designs contemporary homes and he found that when his clients came to furnishing their new home they couldn’t find anything in Perth to do the home justice,” Majool’s retail manager Debbie Polkinghorne explained. “Often the clients sourced the eastern states for furniture, but why shouldn’t they be able to buy that kind of quality here in Perth?” Now they can. Majool rhymes with cool and inside the vast showroom you will find designs by some of the world’s hippest furniture and lighting designers, setting the trends with the latest technologies and fabrics. Majool might be cool, but it is not pretentious and the environment is relaxed and welcoming. “We are definitely not a stuffy place,” Debbie said. “We want people to come in and sit on the lounges, relax, have a coffee and really get a feel for the furniture.” Along with looking great, the furniture in
Retail manager Debbie Polkinghorne and a selection of indoor and outdoor furnishings from Majool.
Majool is often extremely versatile, designed to change shape and form, or to be used both indoors and outdoors. XimulA, for example, is a range of innovative storage systems that are incredibly flexible, transforming easily from a television consul into a functional wardrobe. Many of the ranges are exclusive to Majool, including Slide, Gineico, Blaco, Indera, Puntmobiles and Serralunga and the store caters for both corporate and residential environments, offering consultation and design solutions. Majool also hires out the fantastic Slide range for corporate and private functions. Made in Italy, all of the Slide products are light sources and
because of their versatile design each item has a myriad of applications. There are illuminated bars, stools and chameleon-like pieces that could be seats or ice buckets – either way these funky, lightweight items could liven up the dullest event. Outdoor furniture and lights feature in a big way at Majool, with the Spanish range Giando Blasco and Royal Botania from Germany. “In Perth, the outdoor living area is a room nowadays,” Debbie said. “People are prepared to spend as much on their outdoor furniture as they do on their indoor pieces because they are living outside so much, and they want the furniture to last.” Majool 399 Hay Street Subiaco Ph: 9380 6822 www.majool.com.au
