A REVAMPED Federation home in Subiaco sold less than 24 hours after featuring on the cover of exclusive western suburbs real estate magazine Residential. The restored four-bedroom home on Hamersley Road attracted several offers in less than a week on the market, according to Property People principal Michelle McGill. “It’s everything that a family could want, right in the middle of Subi. It is 599 square metres and there’s not a lot of family-sized blocks in Subiaco,” Ms McGill said. Original period features such as the fireplace, ornate decorative ceilings and coloured leadlight windows were retained when a second storey was added to the home in the 1980s.

TOP PROPERTY TIPS FOR TODAY
IT seems apartment living is becoming more attractive, particularly in the city. PETER TURNER, of Mack Hall and Peter Turner Associates, shares his top-five tips for buying an apartment. 1. POSITION AND VIEW These are crucial. It is important to have a good location, close to facilities and, if possible, nice aspects like views to the river, city, park or trees. These things also add value to the property and are good for resale.

Altitude steps up for Subi Auction of AFL memorabilia attracts 300 fans and raises $10,000 for the club, reports ANDREW GREGORY WESTERN suburbs real estate agency Altitude raised more than $10,000 for the Subiaco Football Club with an auction of AFL memorabilia. Subiaco’s footballers were gracious hosts, serving drinks and food to about 300 Lions faithful who gathered at the club’s inner sanctum at Leederville Oval. Nova 93.7 presenter and former Australia cricketer Ryan Campbell served as MC of the event, calling on the AFL royalty in attendance to share a few anecdotes. Former Richmond coach, St Kilda player and popular commentator Danny Frawley shared some of his thoughts on the game. The high-profile commentator for Fox Sports and Triple M was at ease while mingling with the crowd. His appearance in Lion-land was part of a week-long tour that will include visits to football clubs in Northam, Hyden, Cockburn Lakes and the
Subiaco players were good hosts.
Scott Watters, Subiaco Football Club senior coach.
WA Police football club. West Coast’s All-Australian ruckman Dean Cox fielded a few questions on the Eagles’ 2008 season and the road ahead. Signed AFL jumpers, portraits of stars Chris Judd and Lance Franklin, and even an Anthony Mundine boxing glove, were all auctioned to raise funds for the club. Altitude is the club’s major sponsor, with company director Scott Watters also serving as head coach as the Lions pursue a third consecutive premiership.
Watters and the club had much to celebrate, with the former AFL star last week re-appointed to the senior coaching role for a further three years. Club president Neil Randall said Watters had introduced a high level of professionalism with specialist coaches and mentors in facets of football and life. “This announcement will give all players and members a clear direction, and it will boost excitement and anticipation around the club.” ■
2. ORIENTATION Look for an apartment with good natural light – north and east facing are big advantages in winter and are more pleasant in summer. Also, look for balconies that receive plenty of sunlight. 3. WELL MANAGED, MAINTAINED Properties that are not maintained well are not attractive to buyers. The outside appearance of a building should not be dirty and stained or with paint flaking. The presentation of gardens and the apartment itself are also important. 4. SIZE Be aware of the size of internal living areas – higher ceilings are better and rooms must be of practical space. A small apartment might have a huge balcony, but this is only good if you intend spending a lot of time outside. Parking bays and storage areas are also important factors. Two car bays are valuable, especially for resale, and look for a reasonably sized storage area that is private and secure. 5. STRATA FEES Make sure you are aware of the fees, including reserve fees, and if there are any plans that may increase these fees. It must be good value for money, so make sure the people who are managing the building are not charging too much. Keep in mind whether or not how much you are paying relates to the facilities available at the complex.

Pool adds to wow factor A custom-made pool at one side has a glass balustrade, keeping the space open, and there is a sunken deck area at the back with feature gardens. By ROMENA MANNING THE owners of this property, along with their three young children, have outgrown it, but said they love their home and the area. At the back of the house, a kitchen and open plan family and dining area has neutral colours and timber blinds, which create a warm and inviting feel. Large windows and double sliding doors connect this space to the outdoor area, where a cedar-lined roof covers poured limestone underfoot in its alfresco area. A custom-made pool at one side has glass balustrade, keeping the space open, and there is a sunken deck area at the back with feature gardens. Polished jarrah boards on entry continue through much of the lower level, with plush carpet flooring to areas like a study and home-theatre room. There is a laundry equipped with built-in cabinetry that opens to its own drying courtyard, and a powder room servicing the living space.
A centre courtyard is highlighted by a succession of glass along a main passage, and this theme is continued upstairs, overlooking the outdoor space. The lady of the house said if it was not for her growing sons needing more yard space they would not be moving. She said the house would suit a small family or older family with teenage children. An abundance of cupboard and bench space features in the kitchen, along with conveniences like a double-drawer dishwasher, concealed appliances cupboard, island bench with breakfast bar, and stainless steel cooking appliances. Upstairs, there are three double-sized bedrooms and a spacious bathroom in stylish décor. Two minor bedrooms have mirrored built-in wardrobes, while the main bedroom has an ensuite with spa bath and its own private balcony. The couple said they would stay in the area, close to the Swan River, parks, cafes and Fremantle. ■

AMANDA RANKIN The times are a-changing
The Regal Theatre’s art deco elegance spans the decades IT was the evening of April 27, 1938, and Perth filmgoers flocked to the newly-built Regal Theatre in Subiaco for the opening night of Love Under Fire. Sound had arrived at the movies and the new talkies depicted glamorous movie stars and luxury lifestyles far removed from the reality of life during the Depression. In the elegant auditorium there was seating for 1050 people along with a pram room and a crying room. The crying room was a soundproofed enclosure at the rear of the auditorium where mothers could sit and view the program with their children without disturbing other patrons. The Regal Theatre was built in 1936 on the site of the Coliseum Picture Gardens and is a rare example of the art deco cinema architecture of the inter-war period, a style that was popular in Perth during the 1930s when the motion picture industry was booming. The striking building with its circular tower is a prominent landmark in Subiaco, located at what is now the suburb's busiest intersection at the corner of Hay
The Regal Theatre when it was opened (above), and how is it today (right).
Street and Rokeby Road. It is the only art deco theatre still standing in Australia which has a double-sided frontage, and much has been invested to maintain the original integrity of the building. The design of the Regal is attributed to William G. Bennett, a well-known architect during the 1930s who was responsible for the Plaza Theatre in Hay Street and other metropolitan and regional cinemas. In 1946, the Regal Theatre was sold to Clarence “Paddy” Baker whose family had been associated with the Coliseum Picture Gardens. Baker operated his own travelling picture
show until he purchased the Regal Theatre and on his death in 1986 he left his beloved theatre in public trust. The theatre is now owned – on behalf of the public of Western Australia – by the Baker Trust, which was established in the year preceding Paddy's death. The Regal Theatre continued to show films until the 1970s when competition from television and video threatened its survival. A proposal to
refurbish the theatre for live performance was accepted and in 1977 it was converted to live theatre use. It was still occasionally used for film and this dual use saved the Regal Theatre from demolition or conversion to other uses, a fate that befell many other suburban Perth cinemas. Since 1986 the theatre has been used exclusively for live performance. ■

THROUGH extensive renovations, the owners of this multi-level house have blended contemporary features, décor and fittings with its original structure to create a distinctive place to live. There are four levels, which its owner says is vastly different to having ‘storeys’ and makes the house easy to live in. Owners Peter and June Hanley have lived in the house for over 20 years, raising a family of five children, but said the house was too big for the two of them. A staircase design adds interest to a large entry void, with stairs splitting to higher and lower levels. At the basement level is a large bedroom and an activity room with exit to the back garden. One bedroom is at entry level, with another three double-sized bedrooms on levels two and three. The main bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe behind one wall, ocean glimpses and an ensuite with Roman bath, where original floor-to-ceiling tiling mixed with new fittings makes a unique blend of old and new. Living space is on the main level, with a meals and family area opening from a new kitchen with glass splashbacks and stainless steel Ilve cooking appliances. Sliding glass doors open to a paved alfresco and sunken pool area, which the couple said was protected from sea breezes.

Subi ambience in Wembley This stylish townhouse offers the opportunity to enjoy an elegant way of life with very little maintenance cost. By ROMENA MANNING THE owner of this property said he loved its lowmaintenance block, its location and its value for money, saying it enabled him to have a Subiaco lifestyle in Wembley. The front of three townhouses, a brick wall encloses a double carport and front courtyard. A limestone-rendered partition wall separates the courtyard and carport, with a water feature creating an ambience for this area. Inside, timber floors continue from the entrance through a dining and kitchen area, meeting textured cream-coloured carpets in a large lounge area. Double french doors open from the lounge room to the courtyard, and link this area with the outdoors. Owner Barry bought the house as a new building around seven years ago and said he was attracted to its low-maintenance and care-free features, like galvanised roofing and brick façade that “never needs repainting.” High ceilings, moulded cornices and downlights add an elegant statement to living areas, with a bulkhead defining the kitchen area. Dark granite benches complement timber veneer cabinetry in the kitchen, with gas burners, 1½ sink, walk-in pantry with under-stairs cellar section and stainless steel appliances, including dishwasher.

A small landing upstairs is set up as a sitting area, between two minor bedrooms and a main bedroom suite. One minor bedroom has a walk-in wardrobe, while the double-sized main bedroom has a built-in wardrobe, ensuite and double french doors opening to a front balcony.

Luxury trappings inspired by Lloyd Wright Exterior features of this dual-level home are just as impressive as its luxury interior, reports COURTNEY NOTTE IF the miniature golf course, loggia with an outdoor kitchen and limestone-retained heated pool in the back yard do not tell you enough about this expertly crafted residence, you need look no further than the cavernous entry foyer to be convinced of the level of luxury it offers. Inspired by famed American architect Frank Lloyd Wright, the exterior features of the dual-level home are just as impressive as its luxurious interior decor. Intent on surrounding the home with appealing, low-maintenance gardens, the owners settled on a landscape design by Newforms Landscape Architecture. The meticulous planning shows in the attention to detail. Rows of clipped hedges in a square formation surround a reflection pond, the centrepiece of which is a tall statue. Stone retaining walls match an external feature wall crafted from the same material. A second water feature, similar to the style of the reflection pond and in an almost identical garden setting, is visible through a window wall in the entrance hall. The extensive glass serves to integrate the indoor and outdoor spaces and floods this area with natural light. High ceilings enhance the spaciousness of the carpeted study. Built-in shutters feature on a full-width window with a garden aspect in this room. Polished sheoak flooring progresses from the entrance hall, with a wine cellar under the staircase, to the open-plan kitchen, family and dining rooms where a butler’s pantry and cool room are cleverly concealed in a nook

For those who love to entertain, the extensive use of glass bi-folds allows the outdoor space and living areas to be merged, creating one big entertaining zone. A parent’s retreat adjoining the main bedroom upstairs is a favourite feature of the current owner, who together with her husband built the home in 2004. A dressing room and lavish two-way ensuite with beechveneer inlay cabinetry also connect to the master suite. There are two minor bedrooms and a shared bathroom on this level. ■

REVIEWS
Innovative features make this home a standout The tri-level home captures river views, but that is only one element of its appeal, reports COURTNEY NOTTE NOT a single inch of space on this 575sqm block has been wasted. In catering for the needs of their family and indulging their own wishes for the highest quality fittings and fixtures, the owners have created this enviable luxury residence. From its elevated position, the tri-level Signature Custom home captures river views, but that is just one element of its appeal. Designed to maximise internal living space while allowing for separate outdoor areas that are suitable for both adults and children, its many innovative features make the home a stand-out. The grand entry makes a statement, with an oversized, cedar-framed pivot door with thumbprint access, but it is in the big, freeflowing living areas on the first floor that the scene is set. Hard-stained Messmate timber flooring goes from the foyer down a long hallway to the rear of the home. A Lapatto-tiled wall cabinet has been built into the far wall of the family room. It houses a built-in Sony Bravia HD television and an eco-fire. Feature lighting illuminates glass display shelves in niches on either side of these central recesses. The cabinet breaks up the many glass walls, windows and stacker doors around the living areas that open to create one big entertaining zone. A resort theme has clearly been the inspiration behind the alfresco area at the side of the home. A frameless glass safety fence divides a sun deck from the lap pool that meets the edge of the house. Every bit
as practical as the interior features, an Issey electric sunshade protects the pool, and there is an outdoor shower and direct access to a separate living area and bathroom from here. Surprises lurk behind the many darkstained American oak and white gloss cabinets in the cleverly designed, spacesaving kitchen. A stainless steel utility trough along the Corian island bench drains to the sink and can be used as a cooler. What appears to be a glass splashback
upon closer inspection becomes sliding panels that conceal yet more storage space. Matching translucent glass cavity sliding doors open to the walk-in wardrobe and ensuite on opposite sides of a carpeted walkway to the main bedroom, situated on the uppermost level. The ensuite gives a new meaning to resort-style opulence, with central twin vanities, an oval spa, long mirrored cabinets along the far wall and an open double shower. â&#x2013;

over the treetops of Perth Zoo opposite the building. The kitchen is tucked in to the rear of the living area, with stainless steel Miele appliances including a wall oven, gas cooktop and dishwasher integrated into the timber cabinets.

The well-appointed kitchen features a wide electric oven and a four-burner gas cooktop set in timber cabinets with a white tile splashback. The front door also opens into this area from the undercover parking space, which has additional adjoining parking spots. Large balconies extend out from both sides of the upstairs living area, featuring timber decking and iron balustrades. At the rear, the balcony covers the alfresco area, which is surrounded by neat lawns and established trees that provide ample shade. Timber floorboards are a highlight of the home, flowing up the staircase and featuring throughout the upper level. Enjoy your summers by the beach and earn an income until then, with the home currently leased at $400 per week until mid-December. The low maintenance property is close to Dunsborough and a short drive from Margaret River, Busselton and Yallingup. This property has been recently reduced in price, which agent Julie Fairclough says is a special pre-summer price. ■

Rustic charm and all mod cons Three free-standing stone studios can easily accommodate an extended family over the holiday period. By LUCY RICKARD ORIGINAL stone buildings spaced out nicely on this 840sqm property exude traditional country styling, complete with cottage gardens and large shady trees. The main home has a weatherboard and ColorBond construction, housing three bedrooms and one bathroom. Separate from the main residence, three freestanding stone studios can easily accommodate an extended family over the holiday season. These homes have high-pitched rooftops – paired with an abundance of stone and timber – resembling an old church. Buyers have the option of redeveloping on the site, although these original buildings have been maintained to a high standard. The main home has open-plan living areas, with timber floors and stone features continuing the theme from outdoors. French doors lead to the numerous pockets of alfresco areas, with the main
verandah extending out from the dining area. The living area has high-pitched timber-lined ceilings with exposed beams, while central timber poles add to the rustic feel. A timber spiral staircase leads to the top floor, which holds the bedrooms. The light and spacious kitchen continues with timber features, balanced by a bright blue tiled splashback and white walls. Servicing the residents and their guests, the buildings include three toilets and an outdoor hot shower. According to agent Joe White, Yallingup presents as one of the safest property options, with this pocket of the south-west fulfilling all the requirements of holiday getaways. The property has a 43.81m frontage on the corner of Dawson Drive and Elsegood Avenue, with excellent access to Rabbit Hill and the breaks at Yallingup. ■

Touch of magic in new rub-a-dub-tubs The humble bathtub has undergone a major transformation, and choosing a bath is not a simple question anymore. By DONNA COLEMAN
Designs for a free-standing bath-tub, and other bathing receptacles, have evolved exponentially over the years and choices are bewildering.
Bathelight comprises a group of microlights to create a night-time effect in your tub, without the mess of candle wax. Available from Candana Designs, Bathelight comes in a range of colours, is designed to enhance relaxation and a variety of special lighting effects can be created with the touch of a button. Upmarket showers can these days feature lots of jets, huge shower heads on horizontal arms, and double showers for couples to enjoy together. The popular frameless shower screens allude to more space and work well in most bathroom settings. They're a perfect match for the minimalist look, disappearing into the background while designer baths, basins and tiles capture all the attention.

The simple glass panels are also easy to clean, eliminating corners and crevices where mould once prospered. The toilet, although essential, is not likely to be a feature piece in the home. When selecting a toilet for your home, water efficiency should be a priority along with other considerations such as style, noise and cost. Toilets have become discreet and stylish, slick and unobtrusive, with in-wall cisterns gaining popularity. Basically, the cistern hides in the bathroom wall cavity and all you can see is the flush button. Back-to-wall toilets, which feature concealed pipes, are another minimal option. The multi-award winning Profile Toilet Suite from Caroma with integrated hand basin is Australia’s first five-star toilet suite. The Caroma Profile toilet features a unique, dual-flush push button and spout arrangement that saves the water normally used when hands are washed in a separate basin. A HIA GreenSmart Product of the Year award winner, this great innovation allows

The bathroom has not been left untouched by technology and multimedia, and the ultimate high-tech bathroom would not be complete without an LCD television. Mirror Image is a range of bathroom mirrors with an integrated LCD TV and loudspeaker system. It combines conventional mirror surfaces with a sophisticated monitor system, resulting in a fascinating and mesmerising display for countless applications. A new LCD Active Matrix is elegantly mounted behind a mirror surface to dramatically display anything from TV and subscription channels to video games. When you switch off the TV via the remote control, the product just looks like a normal (albeit stylish) glass mirror. The bathroom mirror TV line is custom engineered for the harsh bathroom environment and is designed to withstand hot, wet and sweaty bathrooms by means of a special humidity-resistant casing. ■

BATHROOMS are now becoming more of a living space than a washing space ... a sanctuary for the tired mum who wants to relax, a romantic escape, or just a place for some time out. Gone are the days when the bathroom was simply somewhere to wash and brush your teeth, with modern designs now aiming to achieve an upmarket beauty spa inside the home. But if you want a bathroom that will look and perform well for many years to come, it is worth knowing which trends are going to last the distance. The humble bathtub has undergone a major transformation, and choosing a bath is not simply a question of choosing between a built-in or freestanding design. Available in all shapes and sizes, today's tubs are made from a range of materials, from luxurious stone to crushed almond shells. Australian stone composite bathware specialist Apaiser launched the luxurious, freestanding Lunar Bath at the 2008 designEX forum in Sydney this year. Deeper and rounder than the average form and available in eight colour varieties, the Lunar Bath has been engineered from a blend of stone aggregate, marble, resins and polymers. The manufacturing process creates a versatile, light and durable product that requires no sealing. It is impervious to staining, heat and chemicals, according to Apaiser. They are resistant to abrasion, easily cleaned and warm to touch. Bathelight is another bathtub which satisfies the romantic in all of us.
