ot only are we blessed to live in the N world’s most liveable city, I’m convinced we also live in one of the world’s most
appetising cities. Melbourne’s distinctive café culture is making waves around the world, spreading the cult of avo smash and flat whites from Brooklyn to London. Our fine diners are recognised on international best-restaurant lists, while the quality and diversity of our mid-range eateries would give many global cities a run for their money. And our magnificent fresh-food markets draw oohs and aahs from overseas visitors. If we needed any more convincing, the new darling of TV cooking, the charming Rachel Khoo – she of the fire-engine red lipstick and cute-as-a-button retro cardigans – has abandoned her tiny Paris kitchen and chosen Melbourne as the destination for her latest food series. Peter Wilmoth caught up with her while she was here to find out what she thought of our local food scene. You can read about her favourite local foodie haunts in this week’s cover story. ●

VIRGINIA TRIOLI ON SWEET DECEIT
by midday, and the resort breakfast buffet is the jailbreak of the released and desperate worker. At our hotel breakfast room each morning, right next to the make-your-own espresso machine, are bottles of champagne piled on ice. The first time I saw them, at 7am, I rolled my eyes at the thought of boozing so early. Then I saw the unembarrassed line of holidaygoers pleasantly queuing to get their eye-opener. Each morning so far those bottles have not been unattended. Amazing. OK, so I can talk – me with my mid-morning holiday beer thing. But I nonetheless stand in awe and a considerable degree of horror at the amount people eat on holidays, at what they eat, and what they go on eating during the day. Of course, it might not be a holiday thing at all. According to the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, almost two out of three Australian adults are overweight or obese, as are one in four children. That’s a lot of crap food being consumed a lot of the time to reach those numbers. (Someone

T
he hotel breakfast buffet is a thing of wonder. And horror. The mountain ranges of pastries. The deep pools of yoghurt and berries. The scalding tide of scrambled eggs with their hot heaps of bacon, sausages and mushrooms. I always imagine the armies of chefs and minions that have been scurrying behind the scenes for hours before dawn, hashing browns (or browning hash), grilling tomatoes and cutting pieces of exotic fruit into increasingly tortured shapes and sizes. I also imagine the kid that got the job of pouring boxes of commercial breakfast cereal into large glass samovars that then require specially printed labels indicating what each clearly identifiable carbohydrate is. Do they wonder, as I do: Why can’t we just serve it in the bloody box? While working weeks rival military exercises in timing, precision and discipline, the holiday weeks almost immediately become a kind of prison day-release of indulgence and self-indulgence.

“fattist” but while some incidences of obesity are genuinely beyond some people’s control, the medical community unanimously believes that weight can be controlled by diet and exercise. And when you’re piling into the pastries and the bacon and the sausages and the potatoes you are also stacking the deck against yourself in the high-stakes game of health and longevity. I know I have previously mentioned a piece

of enduring wisdom from the wonderful Margaret Fulton, who puts the obesity epidemic down to portion control. I can make an argument that food today is no more fatty or sugary than food in my parents’ day – even with the advent of fast food. My parents’ common consumption of animals fats – including lard and dripping – cakes, biscuits and puddings (every evening, mind you) were incredibly high in butter and sugar. But they simply ate less than we do. One slice of cake versus a muffin as big as a C-cup; your evening meal plated for you, and therefore portion controlled, versus all you can eat. The piled-high plates of extraordinarily fatty food at my breakfast buffet puts my fellow guests well in front of their lard-consuming forebears in many respects: physically, calorifically and way down the path to a future of ill health that neither they nor we can afford. Happy holidays. ● Virginia Trioli is co-host of ABC News Breakfast on ABC1 and ABC News 24, 6-9am weekdays

hen she was trying to sell the idea for her cooking show to production companies a few years ago, it didn’t take long for Rachel Khoo to develop a strong suspicion of those who thought playing on her sex appeal might be a marketing winner. “I noticed when I was going around the production companies there was a tendency to push you into a very sexualised [area]. I am who I am and I didn’t want to be made into some caricature. Queen of Tarts. That says it all.” “Queen of Tarts” was the name for the show suggested by one producer. She didn’t pursue that one. “I just said, ‘No. I’m not working with you’.” She also mentions the headline on a piece about her on a news website: “Sexy chef happy to hustle for fame”. “I tell my mum, ‘Please don’t read anything’. OK, it’s very flattering that people think I’m sexy but it’s also very derogatory in terms of your work and how hard you work. Maybe everything’s so visual these days but I find it difficult. Maybe I should just wear a sack.” Rachel, 34, is TV’s latest food-presenting star: indeed as one London newspaper called her, “a global cooking sensation”. It’s not hard to see why publishers and television production companies have pursued her: alongside cooking smarts, drawing skills from her art and design background (her drawings grace her books) and her obvious love of food, Rachel – helped along by her penchant for retro-vintage dresses – projects an irresistible olde-worlde charm. One British journalist called her “a modern Audrey Hepburn”. We’ve met at the Lyall Hotel in South Yarra on a warm autumn morning. She’s just finished filming a new eight-part series for SBS called Rachel Khoo’s Kitchen Notebook: Melbourne, in which she explores the local food culture on which the city prides itself. She’s a warm presence and seemingly unaffected by the attention she receives. She pulls her new book, Rachel Khoo’s Kitchen Notebook, out of her bag and hands it to me – a task usually undertaken by a public relations person – and says she hopes I enjoy it. Melbourne, says Rachel, was a natural choice for the series. “When we discussed doing a TV show in Australia other places were thrown up and people said, ‘You’ve got to come to Melbourne’. Sydney came up – sorry if you’re from Sydney. I said, ‘I’ve been to Melbourne before, I have a lot of friends in the food scene there and I know it’s a really vibrant and diverse scene’. And, in terms of representing what’s happening, this is the place to be.” She grew up in London with an Austrian

It was like the United Nations on the table.” POPE JOAN \ BRUNSWICK EAST She later worked in public relations, “We went to [British chef Matt Wilkinson’s] vegetable allotment as an au pair and sold perfume in a and he was saying, ‘There’s a pomegranate tree, there’s a peach tree’. department store before moving to Settlers had planted the trees and he said it was such a shame that people Paris, where she lived for eight years. just don’t use the fruit.

The sheer simplicity of the idea, or CHINATOWN “Local chef Tony Tan showed me around. He knows a lot about the the allure of a Paris apartment – history of Chinatown … told the story of the Gold Rush and the [Chinese] settlers however tiny – made it a ratings and the influence they had.

I LOVE PHO \ RICHMOND “It’s a family business, so you go into the kitchen It was in that flat that, for a time, and there’s granny sitting in the corner and the father and the son and she ran Paris’s smallest restaurant, everybody’s running around and the pho’s so good. It’s how you squeezing in just four diners at a time would have it in Vietnam.” for lunch – curious Parisians and others who’d been alerted to the opportunity on NIKOS QUALITY CAKES \ OAKLEIGH “They’ve been social media. making amazing pastries since 1987 and “I did Wednesdays and Saturdays, because have a stunning window display.” those were the days the local market was on,” she says. “I did lunch because I felt a bit uncomfortable having strangers coming over in the evening.” She found it a useful way to test recipes for her cookbooks and not waste the food, so she did not charge full price. “I’d go to the butcher, the cheese lady, the wine guy, do my little tour,” she says. “The customers would get whatever I was serving. One woman said, ‘As long as there’s no cow’s head’. I said, ‘Don’t’ worry, I couldn’t fit that in my oven’.”
their home food, and we’d get Mexican, Italian foods … all sorts. It doesn’t matter where I go in the world, when it comes to food people always light up.” The new series will feature Rachel living in Melbourne like a local, in an inner-city apartment, cooking some of the recipes she has found on her travels in Victoria. In a show that is a mix of food showcase and travelogue, she visits Lygon Street, Brunswick Street, Chinatown (with local chef Tony Tan), picks fruit at an orchard in the Yarra Valley, samples local produce on the Bellarine Peninsula, stops for coffee in numerous cafés, samples from a gourmet food truck and goes bike riding around St Kilda. She meets local families – including from the Italian and Vietnamese cultures – spending time in their kitchens. “It’s overwhelming the diversity you have here – from Italian, Greek, Malaysian – young chefs doing their own thing,” she says. “It’s a really vibrant good scene.” Since childhood Rachel’s great passion has been pastry. “I did a lot of baking with Mum as a kid. And Grandma would make strudel; making the dough was very complicated.” She likes the social nature of pastry. “For me food is not just about eating; I love the social aspect of it.” After eight years in Paris, Rachel now lives in London. She declines to talk about a partner in her life but she will say how much she’s looking forward to a short break in Bali. “I’m looking forward to no make-up, and I’m going try some surfing and some yoga.” I ask for her impressions of Australian food, and suggest that Italian seems to be our national cuisine. “I still can’t put my finger on what Australian food is,” she says. “I think it’s

H
aving enjoyed the restaurant experience and wondering how she could take her cooking further, she emailed some publishers and, out of 10 emails, scored three meetings. After negotiating a book deal with Penguin, she then sold the idea of a cooking show based in her little Paris apartment to the BBC. She has now published five cookbooks and the Melbourne programs are her fifth TV series. Earlier this year she was part of a BBC series called A Cook Abroad, in which she travelled to Malaysia to cook with her extended family at her uncle’s house. For Rachel, it was using food as a way of connecting. “What I love is you can explore a different culture through the food,” she says. “Food really brings people together. Everybody has an opinion about food and it’s a softer way to get to know people instead of asking these hard questions.” Did she feel Malaysian on the trip? “I definitely felt a connection but, because I don’t speak Bahasa Malaysia or Cantonese or Hokkien, the dialect my family speak, it’s still jarring a bit, whereas when I go to Austria I speak German.” She is convinced of food’s capacity to bring people together. “I remember when I was studying French at La Sorbonne and there was another English girl in the class and we immediately became best friends because we were both British. We had to do a presentation about our culture in French. I said, ‘Let’s do scones and tea-time’. So we did. Then everybody started to do presentations about
still trying to find its identity. That’s what’s exciting about Australian food – there are no rules and people can be creative. “What’s being created now is this new melting pot of culinary history.” Rachel’s career trajectory has been swift. She is powering forward in books, television and on social media where she has legions of followers. The only ripple on her golden pond seems to be how some media chooses to position women in the media. In 2012 the London Evening Standard couldn’t quite contain itself, saying she was “charming everyone from French fishermen to besotted viewers”, going on to say: “Watch out Gordon [Ramsay]. She’s prettier than you and a lot more seductive”. Still, she seems well equipped to handle the heat and has no interest in ceding control or being objectified. “With all my projects I’m very hands-on, I’m not just a pretty face in front of the camera,” she says. “Even though I like pretty clothes and I like lipstick – that’s who I am. I’ve done consulting, teaching pâtisserie, I am educated and I want to project an image where there’s substance behind the style.” ● pwilmoth@theweeklyreview.com.au » Rachel Khoo’s Kitchen Notebook: Melbourne premieres on SBS1 on July 23 at 8pm.

t was a Sunday morning. The line of people stretched up the street and wrapped around the corner and we thought maybe someone had been hurt or there was a major stocktake sale somewhere. When we followed the people trail a little further along, the situation became clear. Obvious signs included girls with bob cuts and fringes, boys in brogues and buns and a smattering of lads holding onto the idea of the Kelly beard still being cool. That’s when we realised we were passing a new charcuterie and all the hipsters were lining up for their blood sausage and smashed avo breakfasts. Why would you line up for breakfast, said one of the kids, who is usually handed hers fresh out of the toaster by waiter mum or waiter dad and if someone else is sitting on her preferred seat they get a whack. Why would you go out for breakfast at all, I said. Why indeed, would anyone choose to get up and get dressed and speak to people before they have a coffee when you can have it at home in your pyjamas, in bed with the
newspapers and stay there at least for the amount of time it takes child No.2 to get through a standard 90-minute DVD. Please can we go somewhere where we can get a seat straight away, said one of the several indiscriminate kids I had in my care (in reality it was only two but it felt like more. It often does). So we went up the road to another charcuterie that had been open for long enough to not be the hip new place anymore and we got in straight away. We weren’t having breakfast though because, as I said already, I would rather lose a limb that go out for breakfast. That’s for people from another generation who spend their nights food-truck hopping before they head home to finish off a postmodern-letterbox blog post. We were having elevenses in between the kids’ soccer matches. We scoffed down a couple of hot chocolates, which cost as much as it does to feed an entire Mexican family for a week, but that’s café culture and it’s changing as fast as the world is, especially in my neighbourhood. I heard there’s a new place in Fitzroy that serves coffee only without milk. The choice is short or long or double or triple black only, and when I heard that, part of me died a

“Why would you line up for breakfast?”
little bit because I’m still trying to adjust to the piccolos and ¾ lattes. I still find the well-dressed babies slurping on organic porridge in Ikea baby chairs quaint, and I choose to order another wine/ piccolo if someone is staring me down because they want my table because I would do anything to avoid having to share a table with a stranger, and I agonise over PayPass. Does the money come out of credit or savings and why push it on us, silly waiters, if we look like we don’t know how to include a tip.
Anyway Now there are at least six new charcuteries in my neighbourhood and I’ve only just got around to Googling what that means. It’s cured meat otherwise known as ham and salami, or cold cuts as we used say, which we only ever had on days over 40 degrees because mum didn’t want to cook. Mostly it comes on share plates but sadly minus tinned beetroot and boiled eggs. ● khall@theweeklyreview.com.au

THE DÉCOR \ You can sit indoors, on comfy seats at tables or a bench that faces Main Road, or you can head through the room for alfresco brekky or lunch. THE CROWD \ It was a pretty young crowd on this particular morning, one that you might expect to see at a hipster-ish café in the inner north.

others “too try-hard” or “a bit cheap”. But Woody P would fit in just fine. Sharp tailoring always scores points. This carefully dressed newcomer, who arrived just over three weeks ago, will cut it at first glance. (PR scribes have styled him as a gregarious male, so that might help). He sports an on-trend blue neon entrance sign and a white interior. Exposed brick, polished timber floors and tables, planter boxes with stylised greenery, an open kitchen and young, good-looking staff all get points. The mostly Mediterranean menu will fit almost any social circle. The hands behind it are no greenhorns. Head chef Clinton Camilleri comes via much lauded regional destinations including the Healesville Hotel, the Royal George Hotel in Kyneton and Daylesford’s Lake House. Here he has put together a snappy list of pizzas, a “piccolo” inventory that features truffle-flecked panisse (chickpea flour) chips accompanied by taleggio cheese dip. A must-try is the pan-fried scallops with a layer of pumpkin purée and a wrap of nduja (spicy, spreadable Italian pork sausage) bejewelled with pomegranate seeds. There are salumi and cheese offerings, an ingredient-proud pasta list – think braised rabbit, veal cheek and chestnuts – a short, rustic mains list and sexy desserts. We

THE FOOD \ Some pretty unusual takes on the standard café fare. I had the Hashta La Vista, a potato stack with mushrooms, spinach and poached eggs.
LS’ NIGHTS BEST FOR \ GIR recommend sharing the 48-hour slow-cooked beef rib and the whisky custard. Drinks include ample cocktail choices at no-surprise prices and a selection of ales, ciders and European and Australian wines. The booking policy tries to please most: reservations are accepted for any size group before 6.30pm and after 8pm; walk-ins only between those times. For the inevitable
drink-and-grazers, there’s a section of slightly ostracised tables. Substance will triumph and, though it’s hard to judge in such a new arrival, we say give the newbie a go. Woody P is individual enough to enhance the Flinders Lane clique and sure to find loyal friends of his own. ● LEANNE TOLRA ltolra@theweeklyreview.com.au

Cellar Notes
COMPLEX
the clink of ice that goes with every sip. Ice might be big business in bars, but it can be easily re-created at home. After days admiring ice spheres in various whiskies in Japan, I bought a spherical ice mould. This is when my obsession truly started – from lemonade, to a G&T, to a dram of whisky, I now want balls of ice in all my drinks. It’s an overnight process to freeze an ice ball so I picked up an extra baller – a silicone mould from The Original
Whiskey Ball that costs just $13.95. (www.whiskeyball.com.au) ● BEN THOMAS bthomas@theweeklyreview.com.au
SMOOTH
With ice balls made, its only right to start with Suntory’s Hibiki Japanese Harmony ($95). A blend of 12 malt and grain whiskies, it’s creamy smooth with delicate toffee, orange rind and a long vanilla-accented finish. 93/100

Tokyo, where bars serve the country’s smooth whisky with impressive spheres of ice. But my new habit got its start back here, in bars that serve whisky and bourbon with huge, single chunks of ice. No self-respecting Melbourne bar scoops ice out of a bucket these days – it’s all about big blocks, hand-chipped chunks and balls. When you’re spending upwards of $20 for an aged single malt, you want your drink to be as good as it can be. As well as aesthetics there’s another reason why large bloclks and balls of ice are better than a few smaller pieces. The mass of a large piece relative to its surface area means it melts slowly, so doesn’t dilute the drink too much. While adding water or ice is considered a no-no by whisky purists – the drink’s aromas are muted when cold – ice helps take the burn out of the neat spirit. It’s one of the reasons I like ice with whisky. I also reckon there’s nothing nicer than

IÓN SEE \ BALLET REVOLUC the show tends more towards a variety show or musical revue than Swan Lake or Sleeping Beauty. Certainly, the choice of music is eclectic and somewhat unexpected. Instead of jetéing to Tchaikovsky, dancers do their thing to songs from the likes of Sia, Lorde, Jessie J and Beyoncé, as performed by a live eight-piece band. Lianett says the choice of music is crucial
is very strict. This show has a mix of styles and different dancers, contemporary dancers and ballet dancers. We have two different choreographers, one from Cuba, one from Australia. It’s a new way to make ballet, to make dance accessible to everyone.” The mix of contemporary and classical styles is only one of the ways the performance differs from traditional ballet.

to the show’s success. “The music is alive. It brings energy to it every day and allows us to go on and give that energy to the audience.” The word “energy” comes up again when we talk about Australian audiences. This will be Lianett’s third time performing to a Melbourne crowd and she knows to expect a glowing reception. The previous production, which had its world premiere in Sydney, was a great success here before going on to a sell-out season in London. Repeat punters can expect a new show this time around, with the company revitalised by their extended tour of Europe. Lianett has been on the road with the ballet for four years now, but says there’s no sign of anyone’s enthusiasm starting to lag. “The places where we dance are all so different, we don’t get bored. We have physical training together every day, we have ballet class, we have rehearsals. We’re working like a family.” ● mbartlett@theweeklyreview.com.au

Melbourne writer Jenny Sinclair takes a journey through the nation’s cultural capital to examine the creative folk who make it tick. There are tributes to landmarks and icons, but the book avoids striving for a comprehensive history, in favour of considering how Melbourne tends to be depicted on film, in art, in books and by Jenny’s beloved Melway Melway. Her light and fast style is matched by a striking selection of photos. ●

I love Eltham S T E WA RT P O W E L L \ 4 7 Stewart was born in Diamond Valley hospital and has lived in Eltham North for 20 years. A fitness fanatic, he splits his time between working out, personal training and his business, Rep100, a resistance exercise platform he created himself. To fuel all the workouts, Stewart barely has to venture beyond the end of his street.
(DARREN HOWE)
Where do you go for a cup of coffee? For a great cuppa you can’t go past The Common in Eltham. I go there for a coffee and big brekkie every Saturday morning after my workout.
For some family dining? For the best burgers and casual dining I take the family to Platters in Diamond Creek. Great service and friendly staff. It’s worth the five-minute drive. For a gym workout? I’ve invented a new fitness product called the Rep100 for fitness, weight loss and toning, so I no longer have to go to the gym. I can get a complete workout at home. For Friday night drinks? I’ve just started going to Prosciutto Bros, a new bar that has just opened. They have 20 beers on tap. We joke about starting at No.1 and seeing if we can get to 20. I’ll let you know how I go.
For a night out? Five years ago if you wanted to go out for a good meal or catch up, you had to go to Brunswick or into the city. But now Eltham has plenty of fine restaurants like The Main, The Common, Maroush, La Zanya’s, Mercer’s, just to name a few. Plus some really trendy bars as well like barpiccolo, The Lane and Prosciutto Bros. It really has become a great suburb to live in.
For some me-time? Eltham is well-known for its leafy surroundings so I like to take my dog for a walk on one of the walking tracks. ● » Stewart runs free fitness classes in Eltham on Saturday mornings. Information: call 9462 0212 or visit rep100.com, where you can also buy the products.

SALES PITCH You can buy an 1800s clock, try a decades-old wine and a fresh coffee all in the one go.
Watson’s Creek Café and Antiques is the type of place road-trippers delight in stumbling across on the way out of town. It’s on a wide, winding road in a peaceful town that has a sleepy, country feel to it. It’s the perfect stopover – wander around the shop, looking at all the objects from many moons ago, then grab a coffee to keep your eyes on the road. Who’s behind the counter? John and Joanne Van Eeden bought the former roadhouse in 1986, establishing a family-run antique shop, licensed café and home. You can hear the pride and passion for their place in their voices. What’s in store? Specialising in furniture, clocks and decorative items, there is something to assuage every antique collector here: intricate wooden cupboards and tables, solid chairs and church pews, mirrors, an ancient cart wheel and more. They also have a fully licensed café, a provedore and produce store, wine tastings, and are available for functions.
Our pick
Who’s buying? Inner-city dwellers crowing over their loot on their way back from a long weekend, and locals who are well aware of the treasures on offer. ● DANIEL PAPROTH

D
o you know what your teenager is doing online? To be honest, most of us would have to say no – at least not all the time. As they mature, we simply can’t watch our kids 24/7. We must also trust them to a degree, which can be hard when we hear horror stories about overuse, bullying, predators, pornography exposure and sexting. These are real dangers. But most kids do avoid them. Victoria Police electronic crime liaison officer Luke Devlin helped develop the Victoria Police cyber-safety package, which trains staff, educates the public and works with schools. He says education is the key to appropriate and safe online behaviour for teenagers – and parents. For example, he says kids must know about sexting laws that prohibit teenagers from sending explicit photos unless they are to consenting friends within two years of their age.
about the consequences of your actions’.” We must also ensure that our kids know whatever they post online, even if they delete it, is there forever and can be seen by potential employers.” My teen daughters use the internet for research, shopping, chatting, posting photos and talking to old classmates. I’m friends with one on Facebook (the other doesn’t have it) and both show us their accounts if asked, which once resulted in a Twitter account with swearing being deleted. Laptop internet access is restricted and they leave their phones on chargers in another room at night. Mostly we trust them to do the right thing and they do. Are we naïve? Hopefully not. If we can build self-confidence and respect in our kids, we can minimise online trouble. And if they have a problem they can learn from it, just as they can offline. ● ccritchley@theweeklyreview.com.au
“We’ve got to talk to kids about ethical sexual content and the law,” Luke says. “We have to be honest with children and say ‘It isn’t against the law to do that but think

Kids are much more savvy online and look after each other more than parents think. Most are building positive connections, being creative and exploring new identities. I’d encourage parents to get online and see what their kids are doing. It’s newer to us; we’re not digital natives. Sit with your kids and have them teach you something new. Generally speaking, young people who are vulnerable offline are likely to be vulnerable online. Build your kids’ confidence and self-esteem, which will help them use the internet safely. Let them go online, so they have the chance to test their own skills and boundaries. Your child has to understand that their devices are powerful tools that require responsible use. You wouldn’t let your child see an R-rated film. Why would you let them play an R-rated game? Even if other parents allow it, you set the rules in your house. Keep computers and laptops in a public place and monitor younger children’s online behaviours. Once they’re older and using mobile devices, set rules about reasonable use. In our house, technology is not used between 8pm and 8am. It’s up to parents to decide what’s right within their family. ● ELLY ROBINSON Australian Institute of Family Studies senior research fellow aifs.gov.au

CHAT WITH THE EXPERTS
I literally grew up with computers and did an accounting degree and a graduate diploma in eCrime after joining the police force. Victoria Police has a holistic approach. Our role is to educate people and enforce the law. Every school needs a bullying and cyber-bullying policy. We’ve got about 90 per cent of schools engaged. The parents’ role is to be there and monitor and to give their kids positive experiences. Parents also need to set an example. Your online presence is just as important as your real-life presence. Make sure the computer is in a centralised room. Tell your teenagers never to give out private information or organise a face-to-face meeting without involving you. It’s not about spying; it’s about working with your kids to say, “What are you doing there and who are you speaking to?” If you were walking with your child and they went into an X-rated shop, would you be happy about that? Even sending an innocuous photo can give a predator identifying information through geotagging. Educate yourself and be aware. When kids are being withdrawn and they’re a little bit off colour and they don’t want to talk, that’s an alarm bell. ● SERGEANT LUKE E DEVLIN Victoria Police electronic crime liaison officer www.police.vic.gov.au

hen this house was finished seven years ago, neighbours went out of their way to let the owners know what they thought. After all, the house occupies one of Eaglemont’s best-known pockets – just off The Eyrie and down from Albert Jones Reserve. Eaglemont locals are a proud and fiercely fastidious bunch; but with this house, their praise was unanimous. Although new, the house was designed to complement its streetscape and Eaglemont’s famous interwar heritage. Its high, pitched gabled façade with arched portico entrance is much kinder to the eye than the rundown bungalow that previously occupied the block. An elevated front garden bordered by bluestone walls and mature hedges is home to a distinctive art deco statue that locals know and love. Like much of the purpose-built furniture in the house, including an eight-seater dining table, the statue can be included in the sale by negotiation. The deco theme continues inside. The entrance hall is made all the more glamorous thanks to embossed wallpaper and a central staircase dressed up with wrought-iron railings. The same artisan made the stunning wrought-iron chandelier suspended above the nearby dining space. This area is served by the sort of kitchen you might dream about every time you run out of cooking space. It has a vast island bench stretching almost the length of the room. It also has plenty of storage space in the butler’s pantry. The Blanco appliances are in top condition, and the 2pac finish on the cabinetry makes the kitchen look like it was renovated yesterday. Soon enough, you realise every door and shelving unit in the house has the same top-quality finish. It is clear that not a cent was spared in making this place perfect. Low-maintenance interiors are matched with low-maintenance outdoor areas, including the north-facing courtyard off the living hub. Dappled light filters into this private outdoor space through the near-naked branches of a mature tree. At night, cook up a storm on the built-in barbecue before retreating inside for a movie in the cinema room. This space has tiered seating, a projector and extra-large screen. It is also the control hub for the house’s surround sound. The top floor is home to three extra-large and luxurious bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. The main bedroom suite takes up half the floor and has polished timber floors, high vaulted ceilings, a mirrored dressing room, separate shoe storage and an exquisite en suite with double shower, stone-topped twin vanities and elevated spa. Another standout feature is on the lower-ground level – a wine cellar to rival those in the finest restaurants. It has room for more than 4000 bottles and adjoins a tasting room. The double garage is nearby, along with three storerooms. Needless to say, this house comes with top-quality security and intercom. With such low-maintenance outdoor areas, it is the ideal place to lock and leave for an extended break. But you’ll need to stay in five-star resorts to get anything like the luxury and comfort you can expect at home in central Eaglemont. ● LIAM CARTER property@theweeklyreview.com.au

A block of more than 570 square metres, a north-facing rear orientation, family-sized accommodation and Viewbank College zoning make this house a comprehensive package. Recycled red bricks create a striking façade for the elevated house, with a 60-metre street frontage. A double garage and a sweeping driveway with a double carport caters well for tradies and hobbyists. Inside, interiors are softened by the warm brick that is a feature throughout the house. A huge open-plan living zone on entry has a pitched white ceiling offsetting the warm red tones, a lounge area with a gas log fire and a large kitchen. Sliding doors access a rear courtyard and a wall of windows exploits the north-facing aspect. The floor plan finds three bedrooms zoned with a main bathroom while the main bedroom, with en suite, is on the other side of the house. Both bathrooms have been updated. With ceiling fans, split systems, skylights and extra storage, this will appeal to first home buyers, families and investors. ● EMMA HOUGHTON

The neo-Georgian façade puts a stern face on this two-storey house, but its true personality is sunny and welcoming. Standing high in the bowl of its court, it has a panoramic view north over gumtrees from its deck and rumpus room. With three living areas and a palm-fringed pool and patio, it’s a scenic sanctuary that will take a family from tots to teens. Flexible, too; the rumpus and study could be converted to bedrooms. Opening to the covered deck are the long, carpeted living and dining room and the family room, where polished floorboards and a fireplace let it be parlour or dance hall, as needed. The white kitchen has a stone waterfall island and Miele appliances, including steam and conventional ovens and induction cooktop, plus an Asko dishwasher. All four bedrooms are upstairs, the main with a walk-in wardrobe and suite. Two further double bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and desks. The central bathroom has a shower and a spa. The property has a double garage and is two doors from a playground. ● ALISON BARCLAY

This pocket would have to be among the very best in the green wedge. It is, after all, home to its most significant property, Banyule Estate. Only one block away on Berkeley Avenue you’ll find this comfortable, light-filled residence on a 589-square-metre block with a big backyard. Like many properties in this park-side precinct, this property hails from the 1960s. It has been renovated over the years and its original bricks are concealed by a slick, grey render. The best original features remain, including the floorboards, large windows and the funky mid-century fireplace with stone surrounds. The property impresses with two living areas; the lounge and dining space overlooking the front terrace, and the family room off the kitchen. This hub opens to a back balcony. The best spot to enjoy the backyard is out on the large deck nestled beneath a big, shady tree. The veggie patch is nearby. Back inside, the main bedroom faces the street and has an en suite and two built-in wardrobes. Three more bedrooms share a large family bathroom with spa. ● LIAM CARTER
Living in the same street as your school has many benefits, such as nipping home at lunchtime or waiting until you hear the bell before setting out in the morning. It’s even better when the school is in a sought-after zone such as Viewbank Secondary College. This house, in a family-friendly location, has a simple L-shaped floor plan that divides the four bedrooms with two bathrooms from the rear living areas. The spacious living zone has a great circular flow. Polished hardwood floors and a subtle palette make for contemporary interiors and an abundance of picture windows provide great treetop vistas in the living spaces. Timber benchtops in the kitchen offset cream cabinetry and provide warmth and texture. An elevated rear deck is a great extension of the living space and is an attractive entertainment setting. The deck steps down to an established garden with plenty of lawn for the kids. The four double bedrooms are spacious and comfortable; the main has a picturesque arched window looking out to a private garden setting. ● EMMA HOUGHTON

DIAMOND CREEK \ 9 ARTHUR STREETON PLACE The houses in this classic Diamond Creek cul-de-sac are about 20 years old and empty-nesters are moving along, albeit reluctantly. This top of the court double-storey residence is in prime position, with a wide frontage, attractive garden surrounds and a north-facing rear orientation. Immaculately maintained and updated over the years, its design caters for family life, with multiple living areas and a first floor with four generous bedrooms. Outdoor entertaining in summer might mean all the neighbours converge on the backyard here. The block of more than 1000 square metres has been landscaped to showcase its best assets. Established trees and gardens are combined with terraced lawns, wraparound decking and a solar-heated pool area. All this greenery provides a great backdrop from inside. Walls of windows wrap around living areas that feature polished floorboards, a cream colour scheme, a wood heater and a central timber kitchen with a huge island bench for people to gather. A carpeted rumpus with sliding doors to a covered deck can be closed off from the open-plan living space. The freshly carpeted first floor finds the bedrooms off a central staircase. A curved picture window in front of the landing is a highlight. This cul-de-sac is perfect for kids to play; a new generation of families is sure to keep up the tradition. ● EMMA HOUGHTON
