“They also feature a range ofother sustainable designelements, while still optimisingtheir premium location, qualityand style that is sure toresonate with a wide range ofbuyers.”

Mr Campbell said in addition

to the efficient use of water andenergy, the residences have anelevated position to make themost of natural breezes forventilation.

Eco-smart luxury to scale new heightsMirvac opens the door on its six-star rated residences in Swanbourne

WA HOMEBUYERS are back in the driver’sseat, with more stock on the market andsofter property prices.

According to the Real Estate Institute ofWA’s June quarter results, the median houseprice in Perth fell 2.5 per cent to $490,000from the revised March result of $502,500.

In addition, there were 14,500 propertiesfor sale at June 30, compared to 12,700 inMarch, offering greater choice for discerningbuyers.

REIWA president Alan Bourke said the dipin median was largely due to a surge in salesin the $400,000-$500,000 range and a fall insales of premium properties.

“Fewer sales in the $1m to $2m rangeshows the top end of the market is stillvulnerable, and perhaps those who may havebought under different circumstances haveput off buying, instead staying put andrenovating, or extending their own home orselling their investment property,’’ he said.

Western suburbs agent Scott Swingler,from Realmark, told Residential the currentmarket was “honest”.

“There is a tendency after years of surrealgrowth for people to perceive more normalmarkets as vulnerable,’’ he said.

“There are plenty of buyers out there.Most (if not all) homes we sell at the momentare receiving multiple offers. Equally, there isa good supply of homes.

“The current premium market is nothinglike it was for the majority of 2008 forexample, when there were simply no buyersout there.

“It’s times like those when you really dohave a problem. Right now, provided theright sales and marketing strategy is in place(which is crucial), willing sellers can accesswilling buyers.”

Alison Johnstone, from Equinox Realty,agreed the current market was slower butsaid properties priced correctly would sell.

“Some agents believe in appraising high;however, in this market that can be a verydangerous choice,’’ she said.

“Sellers often have higher expectations

regarding their price than the market willallow at that time and if this is the case thenit is best to discuss and agree prior to listingin order to decide upon at a price which willhave the property sell rather than simply beon the market.

“As the market changes you will knowabout it very quickly and sometimes you mayhave to adjust,” she said.

Mr Swingler said with the premiumproperty market looking as likely to movesideways as it is to move up in the shortterm, stamp duty, agents fees and marketingwere causing people to consider looking atthe option of renovating.

“For a $2m home these can cumulativelybe in the vicinity of $150,000, and couldequate to a new room or a kitchen andbathrooms, which is certainly appealing tomany people,’’ he said.

“However, spending money on yourimprovements rather than improving yourlocation can be a classic case of falseeconomy.

“There is probably benefit for buyers intrading up now, whilst the premium market

is dominated by just homebuyers rather thaninvestors as well.

“Once the investors return, these marketswill have double the competition and whenthe speculation does finally start again, thereis nowhere you’d rather be than locked intothe premium market and enjoying the ride.”

Paxton Hoad director Chris Ehlers saidthe real effect on higher end properties hasbeen at least a 10 per cent reduction inprices. “Very few agents are game to informowners that the price may be the same asthree years ago when listing the property,’’he said.

“In many cases high-end owners wereharder hit by the GFC due to a greaterinvolvement in shares and business dealsrequiring large borrowings.

“What we are now seeing is the triplewhammy of one too many rate rises on topof a GFC, which is still looking shaky, alongwith an election which has all but stoppedthe buying of property.”

Mr Ehlers and Ms Johnston are confidentthe premium market will bounce back afterthe election. ■

S E E S U S TA I N A B L E L I V I N G I N A N E W L I G H T.

It’s early morning, and the sun is streaming through the louvres. The soft light spills over the stone steps and

timber deck before dancing its way across the living room floor to your favourite chair.

Welcome to The Eco Collection; seven architecturally designed, 6-star sustainable homes. A special place where

this light show is yours to enjoy every day.

These premium quality residences harness the natural elements of sunlight, water and air with stunning

simplicity. Automated louvres allow the sun and fresh sea breezes to permeate deep within the home. A large

underground water tank collects rainwater from the roof for use throughout the home, while photovoltaic cells

turn sunlight into electricity.

Inside, hearts are captured. Pure wool carpets and timber and stone floors feel luxurious underfoot and add

texture and warmth. Rooms are spacious and bathed in natural light.

T E R R A C E R E S I D E N C E S

Each of the four Terrace Residences, ranging from 312sqm to 319sqm, offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms,

a powder room and a study nook. Highlights include Di Dietrich appliances, luxury stone benchtops, a double

height, light filled void above the dining and seamless integration between indoor and outdoor living.

C O U R T YA R D R E S I D E N C E S

The three Courtyard Residences range from 274sqm to 323sqm. Each free standing residence has four

bedrooms, two bathrooms and a powder room, while two of the homes boast a self-contained studio above

PERHAPS one of the oldest remaining houses inFremantle, this Federation Queen Anne brick-and-tileresidence is a treasure of the port city.

The beautiful home occupies aprominent position on a limestoneoutcrop on the corner of TuckfieldStreet and Canning Highway,overlooking the Swan River andbustling port.

Inscribed into a leadlight paneabove the front door is the word‘Mutiara.’

‘Pearl’ in Indonesian, legend hasit that the house was built in thelate 1800s with the proceeds ofthe sale of a single (rathermagnificent) pearl.

When the current ownersbought the property seven yearsago, they retained its period charmand beauty, but also modernised itand landscaped the surroundinggardens, installing a swimming poolat the front.

“We brought it into the 21stcentury,” one owner said.

There are four bedrooms and three bathrooms, plus astudy or fifth bedroom.

With two sons at home, both under the age of eight,the owner said the great thing about the home was that itcould be as formal or informal as one desired.

Stunning crystal chandeliers feature throughout the

original part of the home where jarrah floorboards,intricate ceiling roses, leadlight windows and soaringceilings characterise the space.

A drawing room with bay windows overlooking theriver has played host to up to 50 people for a cocktailparty, but is equally versatile as a sunlit room in which toread the morning paper.

The rear extension of the homefeatures a large galley-styleCaesarstone kitchen with Mieleappliances, flanked by a large 7mby 5m dining area.

Bi-fold doors open out to theexternal entertaining areas fromhere and the rear lounge room.

Outside, there is a pizza oven,gas barbecue, and stainless steelsink as well as an expansive lawnarea and full-sized children’splayground.

An underground billiard roomand cellar is the adults’playground.

There is also a huge eight-cargarage, which you would neverguess exists from the front of theproperty.

The owner believes it may havebeen formerly used for an antique

business of one of the previous owners.Mutiara enjoys a north-facing aspect, utilising its ever-

changing views of life on the busy river.As I walk out, the owner says she will be somewhat sad

to leave their precious home, in such a premier location.“But whoever buys it will make a lot of wonderful

memories here, as we have,” she said. ■

Fabulous home with top views

IT was a chilly four degrees on the morning Ivisited this Mosman Park home but onceinside, the sun-drenched interior quicklywarmed me up.

The cleverly-designed, contemporaryresidence is located at the river end ofOwston Street and has fabulous panoramicviews from its North-east orientation.

It was designed by Richard Szklarz in 1996to accommodate a large family and to takeadvantage of commanding views of the river.

The architect’s personally distinctive styleof a wavy internal ceiling in the gallery echoesa wave-shaped external roofline.

Built over two levels, the expansiveproperty spans 1176 square metres, whichinclude a full-sized tennis court, lap pool andsix-car remote-controlled garage.

Glass, timber and limestone have beenused extensively throughout to create warmand atmospheric spaces, not unlikeaccommodation you might find in the State’sSouth-West.

An oversized solid timber door providesentry into the home.

There are multiple living areas on theground level with each of the five bedroomslocated upstairs.

The design of the floor plan is such thateach room takes full advantage of its stunningriver aspect.

Stainless steel bench tops in the kitchenare both functional and visually striking.

The kitchen is at the core of the centralliving area, which includes a dedicated hometheatre overlooking the front garden of the

property, a study or activity area, and largedining room with sliding doors out to aterracotta-tiled courtyard.

Inbuilt cabinetry throughout providesclever use of space and consistency.

The master bedroom forms a private wingat the northern end of the second level.

A parents’ retreat flanks the spaciousbedroom, which features floor-to-ceilingglass windows and flows on to a large balconywith breathtaking views.

The opulent ensuite bathroom featuresfloor-to-ceiling marble tiling and bench topswith walk-in timber robes for addedconvenience.

There are two additional bathrooms onthis level, placed side-by-side to service theminor bedrooms.

With an uninterrupted and majestic viewof the river to the city skyline, this fantasticMosman Park home is deserving of its pricetag. ■

Warning to estate agents

CONSUMER Protection has warnedPerth real estate agents that they couldface legal action if they charged tenantswho did not give 21 days notice at theend of their fixed-term lease.

Consumer Protection commissionerAnne Driscoll said some agents andproperty managers had added a clause torental contracts which required tenantson fixed-term leases to give 21 daysnotice before vacating their rentalproperties at the end of the term.

When the tenant moved out withoutgiving this notice, three weeks rent wasdeducted from their bond.

Ms Driscoll said the practice breachedtenancy laws.

She said the agency had received callsfrom more than 30 tenants about thisissue so far this year.

“Any agent who has this clause linkedto the end of the fixed-term rental periodshould immediately remove it. Legalaction will be taken if such a clause isenforced,” Ms Driscoll said.

“We would be very keen to hear fromany tenant who has been penalised by thisillegal practice as they would be entitledto a refund.

“A fixed-term lease has an expiry dateand the tenant does not need to givenotice if they don’t intend renewing the

lease, and they certainly should not bepenalised. It is the responsibility of thereal estate agent or property manager tocontact the tenant prior to the expiry ofthe lease to determine if the tenantwishes to renew or plans to move out.”

Consumer Protection spokesman AlanHynd said each tenant has been advisedthat the clause was illegal and they shoulddemand a refund from their agent.

“Consumer Protection has notreceived any follow-up calls to suggest, atthis stage, that money is not beingrefunded,” he said.

“In cases where the real estate agenthas been identified, officers from ourtenancy branch have contacted theagency to advise them of this breach oftenancy laws and that these clausesshould be removed and certainly notenforced.

“So far, the agents contacted havebeen cooperative.”

Mr Hynd said the agency’s policy wasto conciliate and educate beforeconsidering prosecution.

Consumer Protection wanted to hearfrom any tenant who has had this clauseenforced. Tenants who had beenaffected, or had signed a lease with thisclause, should contact ConsumerProtection on 1300 30 40 54.

No penalty to fixed-term tenants for failure, at end oftheir lease, to give 21 days notice, reports RICK LEE

residentialWESTERN SUBURBS WEEKLY

LUXURY LIVING

THERE is no mobile reception at Stonebarn,which is perfect. We arrived at the BoutiqueHotel and Truffiere mid afternoon and didnot leave for two whole days.

It is easy to lose yourself there, if you wantto. The secluded, luxury property on theedge of the Warren River 20 minutes fromPemberton, opened its doors in October2008.

It was recently selected as one of onlythree properties in the State included in theexclusive Mr and Mrs Smith Hotel Collection.

Six luxurious suites occupy the beautifulstone and timber structure, each with aprivate balcony overlooking the dam.

The interior is characterised by a blend ofSouth African antiques – belonging to theowners – and beautifully designed,contemporary pieces that create a warm,rustic fit-out. So striking is the interior, byParisian-based Australian architect Aviva FShpilman, it was nominated for the 2009Australian Interior Design awards.

But the beauty of Stonebarn extendsbeyond its surroundings. On arrival, we weregreeted by manager Greg Cusens, a SouthAfrican expat who has recently taken over

the day-to-day running of Stonebarn. Guests can interact with Greg as little or

as much as they like during their stay. In our case, we became friends. When my

partner jokingly requested a ‘midnight snack’on the arrival form, a platter of cheese,crackers and strawberries arrived discretelyoutside our door at 11.55pm.

After a guided tour of the 150-acreproperty, which includes an 1800 hazel andoak tree truffiere, on Greg’s mule (a vehiclenot an animal) and a walk along the river, theafternoon presented a perfect opportunity toindulge in a bush bath.

A few hundred metres from the house,

privately screened and surrounded bytowering karri trees, is a porcelain bathtubwith hot running water.

Again, a bottle of champagne andchocolates inconspicuously made their wayto the tub for us, completing our surreal datewith nature.

In-house chef David Butler may be just 22,but the well-travelled English cook knows hiscraft. Scrumptious winter meals are servedwith hot French breadsticks, straight fromthe oven. An extensive wine and spirit listaccompanies the changing daily menu.

While part of Stonebarn’s allure is itsintimate setting, the owners recognise the

potential to expand the property to includemore accommodation.

An investment opportunity currentlyexists to part-own the established businessand the property on which the businessoperates.

Stonebarn is a truly special place, unlikeanything else in Western Australia, and willnot disappoint even the most discerning oftravellers.

For more information on the investmentopportunity, contact owner Dion Range [email protected] and for generalinformation about the hotel visitwww.stonebarn.com.au ■

Tree of life.

With 40 years

experience personally

sourcing and trading

original Persian carpets,

Peter Faeghi believes

it’s important to know you’re

buying the genuine article and

not one of the many cheap

copies that have flooded the

market in the last decade even

in recent exhibition around

the country. Which is why

he proudly offers his name

as his word, and why you’re

guaranteed not only a warm

welcome at the Persian Carpet

Gallery, but genuine value on

genuine Persian rugs.
