It’s a great life, whether you choose to live by the river or the ocean
Coast or Swan? Property pundits share their preference Coast or River? River Climatically, it’s gentler and a river location is a much rarer commodity. The Western Australian coastline is extremely long and one can always move up or down the coastline to achieve an ocean location whereas a riverside home is a finite item. William Porteous William Porteous Properties International
Coast or Swan? Coast Because for me there is nothing better than going for a windsurf at ‘Duch in’ (South Cottesloe) after a hard day’s selling. I like the coast because I windsurf, run along the beach and swim, thus for me my soul is happiest along the coast. If I didn’t windsurf, run along the beach and swim, I would definitely go riverside for its calmness, particularly Freshwater Bay. David Vitale Vitale Fine Properties
Riverfront or ocean vista? It’s a tough call Both are premier locations and each has its own special appeal, reports CARMELLE SANDER WHICH would you prefer? Waking up to the sounds of waves rolling on to a white sandy beach or enjoying a glass of wine on your balcony as you gaze across the Swan River to the shimmering lights of the Perth skyline? Both paint a very pretty picture, but most people in Perth have a preference when it comes to living on the coast or along the banks of the river. Those who live in Cottesloe, North Fremantle, Swanbourne and City Beach are spoilt for choice, with kilometres of pristine beaches on their doorstep. Those who own a riverfront property in suburbs such as Dalkeith, Mosman Park, Crawley and Peppermint Grove enjoy river activities such as boating, sailing, jet skiing, fishing and water skiing all year round. Whether you live along the coast or near the river within the Western Suburbs, you are sitting on prime, sought-after land. According to statistics from REIWA, while there has only been minimal growth in the Western Suburbs this calendar year, it still remains one of the most desirable places to call home. REIWA president Rob Druitt said that up until about the 1970s most people wanted to live near the river. “From the 70s on, more people wanted the coast, thus City Beach (among others), came into existence,” he said. “And as we have seen in areas outside of the Western Suburbs, the coast has really taken off over the last decade, north to Quinns Rock and South to Rockingham. “Of course, being along the river also means being closer to the city and that for many people is a greater advantage.” The Property Exchange director Janey Sanderson said that more often than not, if you lived near the river, you were within walking distance to good cafes, restaurants and nightlife. “Apart from the nightlife, there is great shopping in areas close to the city,” she said. She also praised its public transport benefits.

Coast or Swan? Coast Because everyone (Perth people, interstate and international immigrants alike) generally love Perth for two reasons – the weather and the coastline. Coastal suburbs have proven growth – even in the shortterm market, according to REIWA. The top two performing suburbs are both coastal (Cottesloe and North Beach) and three out of the top five suburbs are coastal. Dean Bradley Sales Consultant Altitude Real Estate
Coast or Swan? River I’d choose, any day, to live along the banks of Perth’s picturesque Swan River, as opposed to the ocean. Depending on where you are, let’s say, close to the city, you have the most spectacular views across the river which remain magnificent at night, as well as during the day. Views across the ocean are not the most interesting at night. You do not have the howling southerlies and south westerlies that restrict outdoor living and entertaining. Janey Sanderson Director The Property Exchange
Coast or Swan? River It is really simple – the Swan. Perth has the most beautiful beaches in the world. We love to visit them but when it comes to choosing where to live the Swan is definitely my preferred choice. Living on the coast is a challenge, there are risks such as tsunamis, having your steak blown off the BBQ by the sea breeze and your house becoming an oven heated by the afternoon sun. Paul Bitdorf Managing Director Australian Property Alliance
Coast or Swan? Coast Why? Because of the beach lifestyle and all that goes with it, from surfing to surf life saving. There is always something to do at the beach. Catching up with friends at a cafe on the coastal strip overlooking the stunning Indian Ocean is always a great past time. From personal experience, you can’t beat sitting in your home surrounded by good people with a glass of wine, watching the sun set over the ocean.

“The train stations don’t run along the coast and there is easy access for boats along the river,” she said. For Dean Bradley from Altitude Real Estate, there was nowhere better to live than the coast. He said coastal properties had proven growth and offered an attractive lifestyle for families. However, there were a few gripes with living near the Indian Ocean for a few agents, such as howling south westerlies, garden and maintenance woes and the glare from the sun. The choice of coast or river may be a tough decision, but certainly a nice dilemma to face.■
Scott Banistter-Jones Perth Property People Coast or Swan? River I lean slightly towards being closer to the Swan than the Indian Ocean. I'm not a keen swimmer, sunbaker or surfer. I don't like the full blast of the south westerly storms. I don't like the glare of the setting sun. It is easier to grow gardens away from the ocean. There are less maintenance problems away from the sea salt. I like the proximity to a great variety of public and private educational institutions and hospitals.

REVIEWS Modern classic is one of a kind Interior designer leaves her lasting imprint on this residence, reports COURTNEY NOTTE WHILE the renovation and extension of character homes is considered common practice, there is nothing everyday about this circa 1920s federation-style residence, infused with the signature style of owner and interior designer Helena Farrell. Her aim in redesigning the home was to combine the appeal of its classic aesthetic with complementary decor, and updated facilities conducive to a contemporary lifestyle. Ms Farrell’s creative approach to design has produced a home of rare standard that blends intrinsic character with functional and modernised conveniences. The restoration of many original features has ensured the improvements made to the home do not detract from its original splendour, but rather enhance its old-world charm. Ms Farrell has designed a residence that outshines luxurious hotelstyle interiors, with Italian marble and mosaic tiling in every bathroom, resort-style outdoor entertaining facilities, elaborate chandelier lighting to most rooms and imported kitchen appliances. A chandelier suspended from a low dome ceiling in the foyer impresses a sense of style on entry. Recycled jarrah floorboards progress to most rooms, including the formal lounge featuring a decorative marble plinth fireplace, and a study with access to a verandah. American oak built-in wardrobes feature in the master bedroom with ensuite, one of three bathrooms with a Bisazza glass-mosaic feature wall.

Matchless views, unparalleled privacy
Luxuriate in river views that go on forever and will never be built out by virtue of this house’s location at the northernmost tip of Point Walter Reserve, reports ROMENA MANNING WAKING up in a huge bedroom retreat with panoramic river views is something the lady of this house will miss. The entire fourth floor is a dedicated main bedroom suite, with cedar louvres shutting out light that comes in through large glass panels. On one side, a vanity area with built-in low-line unit and mirror leads to a big walkin wardrobe. Inside the bedroom, a recessed ceiling defines its lounge area and double doors in an archway open to a Juliet balcony that acts as a mezzanine floor over a living area. An open ensuite has full travertine tiling, a deep bath, double vanity unit, double shower and separate powder room.
Husband and wife owners said the highlight of the property was definitely its amazing views, and their favourite area was an alfresco space on the main level that opens from living areas. Floor-to-ceiling glass maintains the river aspect from inside and a glass pool balustrade and perimeter fencing means there are no obstructions. Besides privacy from the position of this block – which the owners said was unparalleled – the icing on this sumptuous cake was that it is at the most northern point before Point Walter Reserve, which means views cannot be built out. The owners said no matter where they were in the house there were always views
of the river, but despite the openness of the bush no one could look on to their property. They said it was a cosy home in winter and that the neighbourhood was great, with friendly neighbours, and golf courses, tennis courts, access to the river and good schools nearby. An executive residence takes up the ground floor, with a kitchen, dining and family area opening outside and an open study sharing broad river views and overlooking a Japanese garden. Agents and buyers are invited to a champagne opening on December 3 from 7pm to 8.30pm. ■

REVIEWS
Three levels of class in Subi townhouse Finishes and position are likely to attract many buyers to auction, reports ROMENA MANNING A HIGH-standard finish and versatile layout, coupled with an exclusive position in a vibrant neighbourhood is likely to gather a crowd for the auction of this new townhouse. Spread over three levels, there are two bedrooms, a study and combined bathroom and laundry at entry level. Sliding corner doors to the study open it to a spacious entry, but allow it to be closed off and be used as a fourth bedroom. Each bedroom is double-sized and has built-in wardrobes, and one has an ensuite with long slimline vanity unit, double length shower and modern, neutral colours. A staircase splits two ways – up to a main living area and down to secure parking behind the townhouse. There are two allocated undercover bays with direct access inside and visitors parking. Timber floating floors add warmth to an openplan living area with clean lines and contemporary decor. A recessed family area is to one side of a long dining area and kitchen with European appliances. A six-burner De Longhi gas cooktop and 900mm oven are built into kitchen cabinetry, topped by CaesarStone benches and finished with cream tile and coloured feature splashback. It has a highlight glass panel overlooking the street, dishwasher and double round bowl sinks.

REVIEWS
Award-winning home up for auction There is a fairytale quality to this one-of-a-kind, elegant home alongside the river, reports TANYA MACNAUGHTON EVERY so often a property is released on to the market that is striking in its contrast to others in the suburb. And this awardwinning Overman and Zuidelveld residence along the river foreshore is one such example. With rustic elegance, the home includes a beautiful blend of timber, heritage brick, glass and limestone to create a truly impressive, one-of-a-kind dwelling. It almost has a fairytale-like quality with its design of observation towers. The entry hall features recycled facebrick walls and sandstone flooring. The kitchen and meals zone with high wood panelled ceiling provides access to the courtyard. Extensive windows allow for natural light and to take in views of the riverside parkland. A timber cathedral ceiling with exposed
beams is a characteristic of the formal dining room. The main bedroom continues with the high ceiling design and has a fireplace, balcony and ensuite with claw-foot bath and separate shower. All minor bedrooms are in another wing of this spacious house. Two of the minor bedrooms are close to the main living area while the remaining fourth bedroom is accessible via a bridge walkway. The outdoor entertaining area has a large timber deck, big below-ground pool and spa. An abundance of lush foliage brings seclusion to the area and there is a private entry from here to the reserve and down to the river. Other benefits of the home include an alarm system, reticulated gardens and 733sqm block size.■

STREET LIFE A thriving Marine life WITH kilometres of beach, dunes, sand and ocean on one side, and a combination of lavish homes, original beach shacks, apartments, cafes and hotels on the other, it seems they got the parade part of Marine Parade right. Speak to shop owners, beach-goers or locals and the message is the same – the beauty of this location is its major drawcard. But not its only one. Apart from a picturesque beachside, this popular stretch offers a bevy of places to eat, drink and catch up with friends. Some of the big names on Marine Parade, like the Ocean Beach Hotel (OBH), have benefited from renovations in recent years, and the OBH – along with The Cottesloe Beach Hotel – is celebrated for its ‘Sunday session’ atmosphere. Hills resident Sheila Harrison often visits Marine Parade for all its facilities and its pleasant atmosphere. “It has shops, coffee shops, ice cream, hotels if you want them and a play area for kids,” she said. Ron, an interstate visitor, was impressed by the location on his stroll along the cycle and walking path that extends from one end to the other. “It’s beautiful. I don’t think we’ve got a seaside restaurant like (those here) in Adelaide – it’s got its own character,” he said. Many locals aspire to some day own a piece of beachfront land and invariably, there are properties for sale. Local real estate agent Chris Shellabear of Shellabears has for sale possibly the most recognisable piece of land on the parade – Banksia – a heritage-listed, circa 1895 cathedral-style limestone building with 180-degree views, on a 1492sqm block. Chris said people were drawn to Marine Parade for obvious reasons like views and proximity to the beach. “Usually (buyers) are people who are 35 and
street life
From cafes to playgrounds flanked by dazzling stretches of beach, Marine Parade has a drawcard for everyone, reports ROMENA MANNING
over, who have decided they want to be right on the beach for a sea change and they want to be as close as possible,” he said. According to Chris, real estate in this area is dependant on the market, much like everywhere else, and he said three distinct areas offered a variety of living options, with apartments close to the beach in central Cottesloe, mostly residential homes in north Cottesloe and a mixture of both in south Cottesloe. “There’s a great mix of smart new homes built in the past five years and old beachside units built in the 70s and 80s, but that’s typical of Cottesloe – it’s got a great mixture of housing,” he said. It is near-impossible to speak about Marine Parade without mentioning the landmark Indiana Tea House, named after the original built in
1910, renowned for its views over the Indian Ocean and to Rottnest Island. Whether you are a passing visitor or a dyed-in-the-wool local, this unarguably beautiful spot promises to please. ■
MARINE PARADE LOCATION: Marine Parade, Cottesloe stretches from North Street to Curtin Avenue. MAIN ATTRACTIONS: The clear blue ocean and sandy beaches, Ocean Beach Hotel, The Cottesloe Beach Hotel and cafe, Indiana Cottesloe Beach, Sea View Golf Club and assorted cafes. WITHIN 3KM: Stirling Highway, Cottesloe Civic Centre and gardens, Royal Freshwater Bay Yacht Club, Allen Park and an array of private and public primary and high schools.
