influenced both the quality and style of the concept homes they display. “What really separates us from the rest is the high quality workmanship, attention to detail and minimal defects,” she said. “David is particularly concerned and involved with the finished product and focuses greatly on ensuring that the home optimises both its appearance and performance.” Sovereign Building Company specialise in all aspects of individual design, single storey, double storey, units and townhouses.

WHILE Darling Point and Bellevue Hill in Sydney’s east are renowned for being multimillion-dollar addresses, Perth’s own Peppermint Grove is, in fact, the most expensive suburb in Australia. Rpdata.com recently rolled out its ‘Best of the Best 2009’ list for the total Australian property market. Research analyst Cameron Kusher said Peppermint Grove topped the list with a median house price of $5.1 million – almost $2 million above the median house price of the second most expensive suburb, Bellevue Hill. Mack Hall and Associates director Peter Burns said the result comes as no surprise. “It’s a suburb that many aspire to and it is very well located with the river, shopping and several private schools all on its doorstep,” he said. “I actually think it’s very much undervalued. “For an entry point block of land in Peppermint Grove, you are looking at approximately $3000 per square metre.” Mr Burns said with the number of expats moving into the area, schooling was a major drawcard, which would keep pressure on Peppermint Grove and the surrounding suburbs to maintain rising house prices. Applecross came in 10th on the most expensive suburb list with a median price of $825,000. ■

Home has wow factor to burn This Mosman Park mansion exudes luxury at every turn with three levels of high-class living and entertaining. By JANE EVANS MY first impression of this Mosman Park home when I arrived outside it was “wow.” The riverfront property is extraordinary in every sense. Built by Oswald Homes some two years ago, the homebuilders took inspiration from the work of legendary American architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The commanding and magnificent façade is a 1920s revivalist design featuring cedar, stone and textured render with vertical elements offset by a horizontal prairie-styled roof with large eaves. The home is divided into three living zones
on each level. The first floor and main entry level features a grand foyer with stairs to both the lower and upper levels of the home. A luxurious formal lounge or library to the left of the foyer has a gas fireplace, bifold timber Venetian shutters and solid timber cabinetry, the perfect space in which to cosy up to a good book and a glass of red wine in winter. This room opens out to a northerly terrace, which includes a swimming pool and separate external living area with timber louvres and kitchen and barbecue facilities. At the other end of the first floor are the
informal living and dining areas with a viewing deck overlooking the water’s edge. A state-of-the-art galley kitchen is fully equipped with a cool room, walk-in pantry and adjacent breakfast or music room. On the ground floor, another spacious living area opens out to a secluded sundrenched courtyard with private access from the street. This area is flanked by two bedrooms, each with their own private walk-in robes and ensuites, and a wine cellar. The third storey of the home accommodates the master suite with an
enormous ensuite and dressing room plus a guest suite and study. The home exudes timeless elegance. Every detail of the interior is sophisticated, right down to the lush wallpaper adorning several feature walls throughout. A home of such grand proportions should be an entertainer’s delight, but the owner admitted that during one party at the property he thought the guests had all gone home when he could not find them. “Turns out they were just at the other end of the house,” he said. ■

The Ultim ate Lifestyle
Your real estate questions answered by Niki Peinke, director of The Property Exchange in Subiaco Q: When I sold my house I was given a “Joint Form of General Conditions for the Sale of Land”. What is this, and do I need to read it? A: These are additional conditions to those within your contract of sale relevant to all property sales, and clarify issues under which a potential dispute could arise. You don’t really need to read them unless you have an issue and want to know where you stand with it. But… they are really handy for insomnia! Q: I was selling my house and accepted an offer subject to finance, then two days later my agent got an email from the buyer saying they couldn’t get their finance. How do I know they didn’t just change their mind? And what can I do about it? A: Ahh…well this is where you need your Joint Form of General Conditions! Basically, buyers are required to show evidence that they have made an application to the bank and evidence that their application has been rejected. However, in the real world, most owners don’t bother pursuing someone who has just changed their mind as it can be a lengthy process and can hold up another sale. However, buyers should be aware that they can be pursued, and they can be sued. It has been done quite successfully, so I would not advise using your finance clause as an ‘out’.
WEST LEEDERVILLE STATISTICS Number of house sales for the year (to September 30): 49 Median house price: $1,030,000 Growth Rates 1 year: 11.5% 5 year: 14.6% 10 year: 13.1%
Q: What are the benefits of engaging a real estate agent as against selling my house myself? A: Mmm… common question! Your home is probably your most valuable asset, and whether you can sell it or not is not really the issue – I’m sure you can, but can you get the best price for it? Almost certainly not. An agent offers the following advantages: ■ Access to all the latest sales data ■ Access to marketing avenues ■ Access to a large number of prospective buyers ■ Advice on how to present your home for the best result ■ The ability to negotiate the best price for you ■ Effective administration of all legal and financial requirements
JOKES ON US Q: What’s wrong with real estate agent jokes? A: Real estate agents don’t think they’re funny, and nobody else thinks they’re jokes!

East Freo classic with blend of old and new Prestigious position offers panoramic city and river views, writes JANE EVANS BUILT in 1938 with several major renovations since then, this classic East Fremantle home has retained much of its original charm alongside modern conveniences and a stunning location. A contemporary kitchen and outdoor entertaining area combined with timber floorboards, decorative ceilings and original leadlight doors and windows creates a perfect blend of the old and the new. Panoramic river and city views from the home are uninterrupted with its commanding elevated locale on the prestigious Preston Point Road. The three-bedroom, two-bathroom plus study home features spacious indoor and
outdoor zones. An enormous patio and alfresco overlook the swimming pool at the front of the home with loads of room to throw a party or barbecue on a summer’s night. There is also an underground cellar beneath the house, accessible from the pool area. Inside, a formal entrance creates an oldworld feel. The main living area and kitchen to the right of the entrance have fabulous views and flow into a formal lounge and dining separated by ornate art deco style doors. Sliding doors from the formal lounge out to the alfresco integrate the two spaces to make entertaining effortless.
The kitchen features frosted glass display cabinetry and granite bench tops with a range hood oven and island bench. Rich coloured feature walls in the dining and bedrooms give the home warmth and contrast the otherwise neutral colour scheme of the home. French doors open into the master suite with a well-appointed ensuite and walk in robe. Although the riverfront home has been immaculately maintained and the renovated areas have breathed new life into it, there is potential to further update areas of the property and transform it into something extraordinary. â–

Soak up Swan River panorama from premium spot 8
Nedlands gem can easily accommodate an extended family. By JANE EVANS SITUATED on the edge of the Swan River with panoramic views, the location of this Nedlands home is second to none. The circa 1960s home has only had three owners. When asked what she liked about living in the home, the owner laughed and said, “Everything; I’ve been here for over 40 years.” Over that time, the home has been renovated and extended. Originally an elevated single-storey home with an undercroft, the owners later dug out the bottom to create almost another home entirely. An open-plan lounge, dining and kitchen installed just 18 months ago overlooks the front lawn area and river, as does a formal lounge separated by art deco french doors.

Trusty pergola has evolved with panache The Vergola is the superior product of a family-run business: referrals are almost entirely word-of-mouth. By AMANDA RANKIN THAT backyard stalwart, the trusty pergola, has come a long way from its humble beginnings as a sheet of polycarbonate supported by a few timber posts. It did the job and still does, but the latest pergolas on the market are much fancier affairs, not only minimising the harsh summer sun but also maximising winter sun, keeping out the rain and letting in the stars on starry nights; all with the flick of a switch. Vergola WA is a proudly Western Australian company that has been manufacturing these versatile louvre-roofing systems for 23 years, installing them in both residential and commercial properties. A family run business from the word go, at the helm are husband and wife team Lydia and Mike Griffiths. Lydia said nearly all of Vergola’s work is word of mouth. “We've been in the business for 23 years and if our customers ring with a problem then we are there for them,” she said. “If we say we'll be out by the end of the week, we will be.” Vergola WA also prides itself on being local and sourcing materials as close to home as possible. “Everything is sourced here in WA, except for the motors,” Lydia said. This local element combined with the
backing of BHP, Australia's most reputable steel manufacturing company, guarantees that these pergolas are of the highest quality. With a flick of a switch Vergola’s louvres can be adjusted to let maximum light in or protect outdoor entertaining areas from rain. Remote controls make adjustments even easier and rain sensors mean your Vergola will automatically close during rain, even if you are not home. The Vergola is constructed using Colorbond steel guttering, downpipes and louvres, which ensures that it will withstand the most severe weather conditions. The Vergola is also available in aluminium, a more expensive option, but one that is becoming very popular in
contemporary western suburbs properties. The Vergola is also extremely energy efficient, reducing heating and cooling costs by shielding exterior walls and windows that are usually exposed to strong sunlight. The team at Vergola WA will tailor-make a Vergola to match the design and colour of
