New luxury homes on way for top location Complex on hill in West Perth expected to appeal to first-home buyers, investors and baby boomers. By CARMELLE SANDER BLACKBURNE Property Group has just released the proposed Axiom luxury apartment complex in Hay Street, West Perth. The site is on top of a hill near the cafe strip. Most of the 40 apartments have spacious balconies with panoramic views of the CBD, Kings Park and Subiaco. With construction expected to start soon, Blackburne Property Group managing director Paul Blackburne said initial demand had been strong. “We expect to sell most of
them (apartments) when we launch to the public next week,’’ he said. “We have worked hard with the developer C2 Property Group in recent months to develop a product ideal for the current market.” Mr Blackburne said there was a range of sizes and prices that would suit first-home buyers, investors and baby boomers wanting to downsize. Prices for one-bedroom apartments start at $380,000. Two-bedroom apartments range
in price from $600,000 to $805,000. Mr Blackburne said buyers would pay 10 per cent now, which earned them interest in a trust account until settlement in 18 months. The new display centre for Axiom Apartments is at Blackburne offices at 1050 Hay Street, West Perth. It is open seven days a week (Saturdays and Sundays, noon2pm) or by appointment. More information is available at www.axiomhay.com.au. ■
Renovations on the rise
FOMOphobia runs rampant HOMEBUYERS in WA are paralysed by fear when it comes to finding their dream property due to the “FOMO” phenomenon, according to new research released by realestate.com.au. FOMO, which stands for “fear of missing out”, is being used to describe a behaviour which causes paralysis in potential buyers who are overcome by anxiety believing there is a better property out there. The research shows FOMO is reaching epidemic proportions among potential home buyers, with 85 per cent in WA inspecting many properties and spending inordinate amounts of time researching properties. This is deduced from the fact that about 56 per cent of those wanting to buy a property have been looking for nearly six months and 15 per cent of them for over a year. Dr Chris Hodkinson, a consumer behaviour consultant, said a certain level of FOMO was expected when it came to buying a new home. However, the latest figures suggested it was causing excessive worry with some homebuyers, leaving them unable to
make a decision. He said such sufferers used two or more websites to search for properties, further exacerbating their condition. The study said 92 per cent of property seekers spent more than one day a month (up to 25 hours) researching potential homes online and more than 80 per cent of Australians visited up to four properties a week. Realestate.com.au group manager for consumer marketing Henry Ruiz said the FOMO phenomenon could certainly be a real issue for property seekers. “We identified a need to give property seekers confidence and therefore minimise their experience of FOMO by offering a website that has more property listings than any other property portal in Australia,’’ he said. The latest research showed people in WA and SA took an average of 7.8 months to find their next home, compared with the national average of 6.5. ■
THE latest ABS figures on building approvals show property owners in WA spent about $500 million on home renovations during the past financial year. Caporn Young principal Richard Young said the figures showed the total value of building approvals for home renovations in WA during the 12-month period to June 30, 2009, was $542 million, or more than $10 million a week. “Despite the slowdown in the overall property market during the past financial year, spending on home renovations still remained strong, especially in the western suburbs of Perth,’’ he said. “The ABS figures show that building approvals for home renovations for the Perth central area, which covers most of the western suburbs, totalled $94 million during 2008-2009, compared to $86 million for the previous financial year. “Home-renovation activity was particularly strong in the City of Nedlands where the value of building approvals for home renovations was $20.1 million – an increase of nearly $5 million compared to the 2007-2008 financial year.’’
Mr Young expected this renovation trend to increase during this financial year because of growing confidence in the property market. “Over recent months, for example, our company has found rising demand for older character homes that lend themselves to renovation,’’ he said. “Property buyers understand that values in many areas of the western suburbs have now reached the bottom of the current property cycle. “Older-style homes are now growing in demand because of their very high land content and astute property buyers understand that the value of these olderstyle character properties can be significantly enhanced through tasteful renovations, especially when the local real estate market gains further momentum.” Mr Young said attending home inspections of local character homes listed for sale that had been tastefully renovated would give a good understanding of the work involved and also the financial returns that could be achieved.

Hobbs Avenue home melds lavish form and function. By AMANDA RANKIN HOBBS Avenue is considered one of Dalkeith's most elegant streets, lined with established trees and grand homes and only one street back from the river. This two-year-old Palazzo-built home fits perfectly in the refined locale – elegant, lavishly appointed and yet smartly designed with comfortable family living in mind. With an impressive 615sqm of living space there is certainly room for all the family and the central hub of the home is the relaxed openplan living area towards the rear of the property. Facing north and flooded with light, this massive
space looks over the pool and rear gardens through a wall of floor-toceiling glass. The beautifully appointed kitchen, with stone benches, stunning cabinetry and European appliances, has a view over the entire area and easy access to the gorgeous enclosed alfresco area. Here a wall of glass allows for a perfect view of the pool while another wall of sliding glass gives the option of enclosing the entire area. With a fully integrated barbecue, timber cabinets, sink and stone work benches, this loggia is the ideal location for entertaining at any time
of the year. A Balinese style cabana and sparkling gas-heated pool give a resort feel to the outdoor area and there is a very convenient external shower and toilet. Also accessing this resort-style space is a home theatre equipped with state of the art sound and vision equipment. The front of the home has the more formal rooms where pillars, granite and a soothing neutral colour palette lend an elegant air. The front study leads to a very private terrace and the formal lounge has an elegant gas fireplace. On the second level is an
enormous master suite with ensuite bathroom and walk-in robe, another bedroom with an ensuite and its own balcony and two more large bedrooms sharing a cleverly designed bathroom and powder area. A three-car garage plus loads of extra parking space, ducted vacuuming, smart wiring and full security add to the functionality of this impeccable residence. ■

Crisp and cool at the cutting edge The sleek, clean lines of this stylish Claremont home’s exterior are replicated inside, writes JANE EVANS. IF this cutting-edge Claremont home lacks anything, it is not space. The concrete home was built in 2007 by R & D Building and has a simple floor plan that is highly effective. Generous bedrooms and equally sizeable bathrooms complement several large living areas over two levels. The sleek, clean lines of the exterior are replicated inside. A dramatic formal entry leads into the lounge, dining and kitchen area. Spanish polished limestone tiles and crisp
white walls on the ground floor reflect the northern sunlight creating an open and sunny contemporary home. Extensive bifold doors open out to the lap pool, alfresco and grass area with sectioned areas for entertaining. The master bedroom is off the main living area on the ground floor. A solid tasmanian oak staircase to the second storey is a focal point of the main living area. Upstairs there are two minor bedrooms and a bathroom, a study alcove and second
living area with access to a spacious balcony with views of the suburb. Each minor bedroom features built-in robes and tasmanian oak floorboards. Quality finishes have been used throughout and the result is an immaculate home. One of the owners said she enjoyed the low maintenance aspect of the house as the concrete structure keeps cool in summer and warm in winter. In the heart of Claremont, this stylish home is close to shops, private schools and the river.

Landscaped for a life of luxury and leisure A section of the home overlooks the swimming pool and water feature enclosed by a decked veranda, writes JANE EVANS WHERE an old art deco house once was now stands this stunning colonial-inspired modern home. Sprawled over a large area on a prominent corner block, the grand Dalkeith home is solar passive making it light filled and enhancing its spaciousness. The owner lived on the block before she built the home in 2005, which she said assisted her with the design. “I wanted something very warm and open,” she said. “Every room in the house opens out to the garden.” For that reason, the floor plan lends itself to indoor, outdoor entertaining. The owner said the house had accommodated up to 300 guests at a time. There are five bedrooms and four bathrooms with the minor bedrooms in a separate wing to the right of the central living area. This section of the home overlooks the swimming pool and water feature enclosed by a
decked veranda. There is also a study or home office with french doors opening out to a delightful Chinese garden, designed by landscape designer Jo Taylor, and a professional putting green. “I have ‘Day Bed’ parties in the garden,” said the owner “My friends and I just love to lie out and enjoy the sunshine; it’s so peaceful.” The state-of-the-art kitchen features a long breakfast bar and overlooks the media room separated by bifold doors. Floorboards and white plantation shutters feature throughout the home. The private master bedroom is tucked away at the rear of the home, with its own dressing room and ensuite. There is a unique and calm ambience to the home, even with three teenage children living there. Just a stone’s throw from Waratah Avenue, this elegant and classic home stands out. ■

APARTMENTS Penthouse of your dreams It has breathtaking views and gives the feeling of floating on water, writes AMANDA RANKIN
FOR SALE
PANORAMIC river and city views stretching as far as the eye can see are part of everyday life in this riverfront South Perth penthouse. An elevator silently whisks you to the centre of the apartment where the vista from the living area and balconies is breathtaking and the close proximity to the river gives the feeling of floating on water. The floor to ceiling glass windows that wrap around the living area allow the view to spill into the apartment and the use of glass on the balcony ensures nothing is concealed. The master suite enjoys the same stunning panorama and it’s possible to even shower with a view thanks to the ensuite bathroom's glass shower. Curves dominate the super sleek kitchen and a curved granite breakfast bar is a great spot to further ponder the skyline. Cleverly concealed behind a slim door is a wet kitchen where all the messy jobs can be done away
from the glamour. To the rear are three more bedrooms, a home theatre, office with a view and a laundry with a surprisingly large drying court. Two more bathrooms and a second balcony cater to these bedrooms. Solid timber stairs lead to the rooftop terrace where 149sqm of Mediterraneaninspired paradise awaits, and more of those incredible views. A glass dome protects the alfresco area, which has a barbecue, sink and full kitchen facilities ready for those serious dinner parties under the stars. Or enjoy sipping champagne from the comfort of the spa bath and watch the ever-changing colours of the city skyline at sunset.

Freo precinct a real find, by George
It consisted of workers’ cottagers when established over 100 years ago but look at it now, writes TANYA MACNAUGHTON WITH a warm vibe and historic charm, George Street has become a fashionable niche in East Fremantle. The main street of the Plympton precinct, the area was mainly established between 1890 and 1910 and consisted of worker’s cottages. It is now classified as an historic precinct and in 2001 was rezoned from residential to mixed use, opening the doors for the fine food and wine establishments plus designer boutiques dotted along the street today inbetween quaint terraced homes. The north-east section of the street features the majestic Royal George Hotel, built as the Royal Hotel in 1903, which now houses an art gallery and artists’ studios, contributing to the large arts community ambience along the strip
that especially comes alive each year for the annual East Fremantle Festival. Scheduled this year for Sunday, December 6, George Street is set to burst with a colourful artisan market of handmade products, three stages of entertainment and kids activities. Someone looking forward to this year’s festival is local resident and Masotto Realty senior property manager Jacqui Thomson. Jacqui said she enjoyed working along George as the street had a fantastic and friendly atmosphere where everyone knew each other. “It’s a wonderful little secret because a lot of people don’t know it even exists, tucked away here,” she said. “The street has changed over the years with new shops and restaurants opening up.
Savvy Brands owner/manager Jane Celedin... emphasis on young Australian designers.
“It started as a gradual transformation and then all of a sudden exploded, becoming ‘the’ street for dining and boutique shopping.” One such example is clothing boutique Savvy Brands, which was opened seven months ago by Jane Celedin. The sunlight-filled and spacious store caters to all age groups with men and women’s fashion and has a big emphasis on young Australian designers. Jane said she chose the location to fill in a gap of what no one else on the street was doing yet. “The community support I’ve received since opening has been fantastic, including from other business owners along George,” she said. “There’s been a lot of development happening along the street which everyone has been excited about. “Sometimes people don’t like change, but this in not the case on George.” ■

WILLIAMS Western Australia “Rathgar” 7809 Acres/3160 Ha A rare opportunity to purchase a feature property in this very tightly held blue ribbon region of the Great Southern of Western Australia.
$5,600,000
Set upon three separate titles this 455 acre property is one of the very best in Western Australia, situated 18 minutes south of the city of Geraldton - which is “the proposed site for two new multi billion dollar infrastructure projects - Oakajee Port and the SKA telescope project”. You would be hard pressed to find a city anywhere else in the world with a population of 33,000 people and so many proposed developments in the pipeline. If you are in the market to buy beachfront land anywhere in the world this has to be considered. You will not find more land like this - in the current global economy there is uncertainty in almost all sectors.... what is for certain is that in years to come 455 acres with your own beach front and home will still be a most sought after commodity.

LUXURY LIVING Rugs turning floors into works of art Once a sign of wealth or the preserve of nobility, they are now a prominent feature around Australia. By JANE EVANS WHILE wallpaper continuously comes “in” and “out” of fashion (currently “in”), the traditional rug has stood the test of time as a decorative necessity in our homes. Once considered a sign of wealth and produced only for noblemen and royalty of the yesteryear, today the rug is a prominent feature of houses all over the world. During the mid-1980s, one of Australia’s leading rug companies, Designer Rugs, opened its first factory in Sydney and carved a niche for the company with its bold designs. It was also in this decade that the company began the first designer collaborations, which included collections from John Coburn and Jimmy Pike, to name a few. Marketing manager Liana Lorenzato said Designer Rugs was unique in that its designer collections by artists, fashion, jewellery, film and interior designers were exclusive. “Designer Rugs started working with Australian designers and artists in 1987, well ahead of its time in that day,” she said. “We worked with the likes of Alun Leach Jones, Annie Georgeson and Linda Jackson. “Then in 2004 Designer Rugs together with Vogue Living magazine held a charity auction with a group of designers from different disciplines, who each designed a one-off rug. “Participants included Akira Isogawa, Julie Paterson of Cloth Fabric and Dinosaur Designs. “Once we saw the success of this initiative we decided to develop ranges with some of these designers.” Couture fashion designer Alex Perry is the latest to join the Designer Rug clan and his collection was launched this month. His unique collection pays homage to his Greek heritage. Soem rugs feature designs inspired by an intricate gate seen in the National Gardens in Athens, while others depict an underwater journey in the Aegean
Sea. Ms Lorenzato said this season more then ever, Designer Rugs was embracing colour and pattern. “Splashes of bright colours such as lime and yellow and reds are being incorporated into a neutral base palette,” she said. While Designer Rugs do not currently have a showroom in WA, Ms Lorenzato said the company hoped to in the near future. WA customers can view collections online and order through the comprehensive website. For more information, visit the website at http://www.designerrugs.com.au. ■
