Property dream team moves into place High-profile agent William Porteous takes aboard his son, the daughter of Alan Bond and a former Toyota executive
CARMELLE SANDER Editor
THE William Porteous empire is expanding with the arrival of three new staffers. Among those joining Perth’s highest-profile real estate agent is Jody Fewster, daughter of Perth businessman Alan Bond. One of Australia’s richest men in the 1980s following a string of highprofile acquisitions, Mr Bond was declared bankrupt in 1992 before roaring back last year to be named among the top 200 wealthiest people in Australia by BRW magazine, with an estimated net worth of $265 million. Jody told Residential there were advantages to being Alan’s daughter. “I had a privileged upbringing and a wonderful international education,” she said. “As a consequence, I developed a broad network of both business and social contacts. I also met my husband, Damian Fewster, through dad’s involvement with the America’s Cup.’’ Damian was a bow man on Australia II when in 1983 it became the first challenger to win the Cup in 132 years of racing. The history-making yacht is now the centrepiece of the WA Maritime Museum in Fremantle. Jody has had a diverse business career. She started her own customer care consultancy in Sydney a decade ago before moving back to Perth to buy, sell and renovate luxury properties in Peppermint Grove and Mosman Park over the past eight years. Now, she is excited about joining the William Porteous
Andrew Porteous, William Porteous, Jody Fewster and Mark Dimmock. Inset below: Alan Bond with the America’s Cup.
Properties International team. “I was thinking about going back to full-time work when Willie asked me to join him,’’ she said. “I have known him for a long time and have a huge amount of respect for him. “I appreciate the sophisticated nature of the client base. I love selling and am very excited to be putting my energy to work.” Jody grew up in Dalkeith and has lived in Mosman Park and Peppermint Grove for the past nine years with her husband and two children. “I love Peppermint Grove for its proximity to the river and beach and the Napoleon Street shops and restaurants,’’ she said. “The eclectic architecture on large blocks also appeals to me. “Being married to a builder who is also a yachtsman means we also enjoy the Royal Freshwater Bay
Yacht Club and parkland along the river’s edge.” Another fresh face to join the team at William Porteous is the founder’s son, Andrew. After returning from the UK last year, Andrew Porteous began work with developer Saville Australia, selling projects off the plan, before deciding the time was right to join his father’s company. “I was educated in the UK, studied in Tokyo for five years at Sophia University and speak fluent Japanese,” he said. “Post graduation, I worked for the Welsh government looking after the Japanese companies in Wales for two years.
Main picture: Will Russell
“After that, I returned to Perth for four years and was involved in the security alarm business and then water purification business. “In 2000, I returned to London and was involved in the health and
fitness industry for eight years, following my passion for sport, health and wellness. “Now, I’m ready for a new challenge – real estate. “I am extremely excited to be joining my father.

“Many people suggested that I join him years ago, but it never felt the time was right. Now, it does feel right. I look forward to a long career with the company.” William Porteous has also welcomed Mark Dimmock to the team. For the past four years, Mark has been working in vehicle sales with Toyota. “I started out on the showroom floor and then moved into management, gaining experience managing a sales team with strict monthly budgets,’’ he said. “I’ve always had an interest in real estate though, and I’m thrilled to have an opportunity to get more involved in the industry. “Willie is the best in the industry. To work within his agency and learn from him is the greatest opportunity I could hope for.’’ ■

REVIEWS Breathtaking, with a panorama to match In a high end location, a shell has been transformed into a stunning home, reports TANYA MACNAUGHTON
WHEN the current owners of this breathtakingly beautiful South Perth home bought the property in mid 2006, they took its shell and transformed it into the stunning piece of real estate it is today. And, it has a high-end location to match. Along the prestigious Mill Point Road, opposite Sir James Mitchell Park, the house provides a 180degree panoramic view of the Swan River and city skyline from the private front pool area and upper balcony. Everything throughout the
home and garden is the result of extensive renovations, from the rendered exterior to the WA blackbutt timber floors used across the interior of the house. Double doors open to the ground floor foyer with a grand staircase and ceiling void up to the first floor. The games room and main bedroom suite make up this lower level with both rooms having access to the pool with new timber deck surround and glass panel fencing. The main bedroom features an open ensuite with walk-in robe,
twin basin vanity, spa and travertine marble tiles, which have also been chosen for the other two bathrooms. Upstairs is the main living zone with the family and meals area, lined by a wall of full-length windows to capture the view. The huge kitchen is adjacent with a high, pitched ceiling enhancing the spacious environment that is finished with Caesar stone bench tops and Smeg stainless steel appliances. Along the back hallway are a study and two sets of double sized minor bedrooms each with
a built-in robe. Each pair is joined in the middle by a gorgeous semi-ensuite.The back yard makes for perfect outdoor entertaining with big stone water feature, barbecue and alfresco dining. Further features of the residence include a garage with storage rooms and internal access plus ducted reverse cycle airconditioning. Built on a 680sqm elevated block, this is one home that is illuminated in sophistication and contemporary elegance. â–

Relax in a stylish home that’s as comfortable as Flannel pyjamas This top designer’s pad is a reflection of her warm and cosy style, reports AMANDA RANKIN children. It's really easy to look after and you can just lock it up and go away, which really suits us.” Even the solar heated pool is selfcleaning and the garden is minimal and water-wise. Stunning wood veneer cabinetry and cream Caesar stone bench tops give the bathrooms, the laundry and the kitchen the same sleek, uncluttered look. Miele kitchen appliances and a fully integrated Lieber double fridge hidden amongst a wall of high gloss white cabinetry add to the sleekness of the kitchen, which is kept light and sunny by ceiling-height glass windows and doors. The open-plan living area, which currently doubles as Kristy's office, leads on to an elevated deck that overlooks the pool and the pine trees of Cottesloe. Upstairs an even better treetop view can be enjoyed from the balcony off the second living room, with cafe blinds keeping the strong sea breezes at bay. On balmy nights bi-fold doors allow the fresh sea air to reach the master suite, which has a gorgeous ensuite bathroom, an extra deep bath and a shower that's built for two. ■

IT IS no surprise that top Perth designer Kristy Lawrence's home is elegant and stylish yet relaxed and comfortable. The same words can easily be applied to the clothes Kristy designs for Flannel, her clothing label that was recently awarded the inaugural V Australia New Generation Rockstar Scholarship. Kristy said she was gob-smacked when Flannel received the award at the Rosemount Fashion Week in Sydney. Kristy received the award from Australian designer Alex Perry and Jackie Brander, owner of the Californian Kristy Lawrence department store, Fred Segal Fun, famous for discovering the latest fashion labels. Kristy will now be flown to LA to be mentored by Brander and other US fashion executives who will assist in the international promotion of Flannel. The motivation behind her label Flannel was to create a lifestyle range that was effortless and relaxed. Echoing this philosophy, Kristy's newly built Cottesloe home is equally about easy-care living. “Everything about this home is low maintenance,” Kristy said, who besides running a business is mother to three small

Soak up some Subi Centro warmth in an appealing showpiece Tucked among lush parks but just minutes from Subiaco, reports JANE EVANS THERE is a genuine warmth and appeal about this home that other ‘Subi Centro’ homes often lack. Blackbutt timber flooring and tall windows with western red cedar plantation shutters combine to create an atmospheric and inviting entry. The corner property was built some 10 years ago and is a former Rapley Wilkinson display home. Feature entry doors open into a spacious lounge and dining area with a towering void. Further on, the kitchen features the latest in modern conveniences including an island bench, rangehood and unique granite splashback with stainless steel inlay. Cedar french doors open out to a timber-decked courtyard with a mosaic-tiled water feature and limestone retainer wall, ideal for entertaining in the summer. A generous family room at the rear of the home also overlooks the alfresco and
provides a quiet retreat to relax in. There is a guest bedroom or home office with an ensuite on the lower level, with separate double-door access to the street. Wrought iron balustrading and stainless steel hand rails make the staircase a feature. The second storey landing is open, spacious and light-filled. The master bedroom features a south-facing balcony overlooking the pretty treelined street. It has separate walk-in robes and a huge Mediterranean style bathroom with floor to ceiling tiles, double vanity and corner spa. The property also has a large double garage. The original plans included space for a third car, which the current owners converted to a 12sqm storeroom/workshop. Positioned at the entrance to the estate, the home is just minutes from Subiaco while still tucked away among lush parks and other homes. ■

LUXURY LIVING Gift registry that keeps it simple Creating a gift registry has been given a modern twist by an enterprising Leederville couple, writes JANE EVANS THERE is quite possibly nothing worse then being invited to a wedding and agonising over what to buy the bride and groom. Something about a department store bridal registry screams ‘pretentious’ and ‘over zealous’ to many couples and for that reason, they elect not to have one. Such was the case for Hannah Beazley and her husband Andrew Canion four years ago. When planning their wedding, the couple discovered an interstate company that offered a unique and convenient approach to wedding gifts and they decided to fill the niche in Perth. The Wedding List Co offers a modern solution to wedding shopping. The online company is a free specialist gift registry that allows couples to choose from over 10,000 gifts across 300 brands to create their wish list. Couples can opt to select the gifts purely from the website or meet with Hannah over a glass of champagne at the Leederville store to sit down and mull over choices. The whole procedure takes less than two hours. From exclusive Missoni furnishings to honeymoon contributions to Nintendo Wii consoles, every couple’s tastes are catered for.
for an Aston Martin sports car, although Hannah said no-one ever had. “The most popular gifts are still the dinnerware and cutlery,” she said. “Couples tend to want traditional gifts that will last.” She said that although many couples came into the store, the online aspect of the business had gone crazy in the past six to 12 months. The Wedding List Co also offers couples the ability to manage the lists online by adding and deleting items. Guests can also buy online at any time or can purchase gifts over the phone. Finally, The Wedding List Co gives couples the option of having their gifts wrapped or delivered in Wedding List Co environmentally-friendly bags. Next time the inspiration is lacking, let your fingers do the walking. Visit http://www.weddinglistcompany. com.au ■
