WESTERN Australia’s fast-growing population is great newsfor the local real estate market.

According to Caporn Youngprincipal Richard Young(pictured left) the latest ABSpopulation figures for the March2009 quarter show that thepopulation of WA surged by 3.1per cent, which was the fastestgrowth rate of any state orterritory in Australia.

“Population growth underpinsthe demand for real estate andthe fact that WA’s populationgrew by more than 67,000 overthe last year is very encouragingfor the local real estate market,’’he said.

“In particular, the westernsuburbs and riverside real

estate market is beingunderpinned by the strong ratesof overseas migration in WA.

“The ABS figures show thatduring the March 2009 quarter,net overseas migration to theState was 14,273 (up from11,444 for the March 2008quarter).”

Mr Young said overseasmigration is now the majordriver of WA’s populationgrowth rate, accounting forsome 70 per cent of the State’stotal population growth of20,215 for this three-monthperiod.

“Caporn Young is finding thatthis overseas migration to WA ishelping to underpin the realestate market in the western

suburbs and riverside area.“In particular, we are finding

strong demand for homes in theprice range above $1.5 millionfrom overseas migrants who areattracted to those areas becauseof the unique lifestyle offered.

“Caporn Young is finding thatmany of these overseas migrantsinitially rent a home in a localsuburb before making a finaldecision to purchase aproperty.

“As a result of this risingmigration to WA, both theexecutive rental as well as theexecutive homeowner marketshave performed better inrecent months than manyindustry watchers had predictedduring 2008.’’ ■

REVIEWSTimelessmasterpiece

MARIO Bernardi was a visionary whenhe designed this elevated home on LakeMonger Drive in 1979.

Thirty years on, the exclusiveMediterranean property is as much amodel of contemporary architecture asit was then.

Designed for a family with fivechildren, the iconic residence istestament to the endurance and qualityof fine craftsmanship.

The style, sophistication andfunctionality of the home is flawless.

The luxurious home comprises sixbedrooms, four bathrooms and fouropen living areas.

Carrara Bianco marble floors flowthroughout the first level.

Floor to ceiling glass windows allowfor an abundance of natural light to pourin from the north facing aspect.

The oh-so-seventies feel to the homeis reflected in a sunken “conversationpit” as well as beautifully hand paintedretro motifs on several of the inbuiltunits, but there is nothing passé aboutthe home.

The huge kitchen was clearly built fora big Italian family with “extra large” ofeverything.

Stainless steel benchtops and rangehood features are yet another exampleof the home being ahead of its time.

Crisp white walls and clean lines worktogether magically to create the chicinterior.

According to the owners, it has seenmany happy memories during its 30years. “We have celebrated everyimaginable occasion here,” one said.

“Cocktail parties, dinner for 120guests, 21st birthdays, 70ths and kitchenteas, we’ve had it all.”

There are two external living areas, acourtyard with a wisteria-coveredarbour and a large balcony that wrapsaround the front of the home.

The block is 1225sqm and adjoins lushparklands overlooking Lake Monger andits stunning surrounds.

“The lake is a favourite of ourgrandchildren,” the owner said.

“It will be extremely sad to leave.”■

REVIEWS

The magic of a meticulous makeoverBUILT in 1981, this architect-designed, solarpassive Floreat home has been transformedthrough meticulous renovations into astunning family home.

The good structure was there to beginwith, and the current owners have done theirutmost to enhance the original home bothinternally and externally. They have achievedthis by using only the highest quality materialsand workmanship and the result is aresidence that exudes warmth, character andelegance.

Cross-cut travertine floors flow

throughout the entry and informal livingspaces providing both a family friendly surfaceand a good look.

The formal lounge is elegantly carpeted inan oyster shade and features a fireplace, highraked ceiling and stucco plaster finishes onthe walls.

This north-facing room benefits from thewinter sun, as does the adjoining privatecourtyard, protected from the street by ahigh brick wall.

The kitchen provides everything a homecook could need with two Miele ovens, Miele

dishwasher and Chef five-burner gas cooktop.

A massive blackbutt kitchen bench is notonly an ideal workspace but is literally at theheart of the home and the perfect place forbreakfast.

Down the hallway is the children’s zone,paradise for offspring no matter what their age.

Four large bedrooms and two bathroomssolve any sharing issues and a huge games ormedia room at the end of the hall has accessto the pool.

This very separate wing of the home has its

own entry and double garage allowing olderchildren a degree of independence.

The parents too have their own space atthe front of the home where a serenebedroom overlooks and accesses the alfrescoarea and pool.

Externally the original brickwork has beenstucco rendered, and landscaped gardens andlawn provide plenty of outdoor space for afamily.

This is a much-loved family home,renovated with care and with nothing left todo but move in. ■

It is near the highest point inEast Fremantle with city, river andocean views offering a stunningvista from the top level.

This tasteful home features anenormous formal living area andalfresco balcony, which attractsthe northern sunshine andcaptures the ever-changing views.

A blend of old and new timberfloors flow throughout the formal

and informal living areas. The contemporary kitchen

features granite bench tops andMiele appliances, and opens out toa private garden complete with atrellis arbour and water feature.

The master bedroom has itsown adjacent dressing room plusbuilt-in robes and a privateensuite.

residentialWESTERN SUBURBS WEEKLY

STREET LIFE

IT might not have the bright lights of its NewYork counterpart but Broadway in Nedlands (orCrawley depending which side of the street youare on) has its fair share of sparkle. Runningbetween Stirling Highway and the Swan River,Broadway is alive with students and staff from thenearby University of WA, many of whom live inthe apartment blocks that line the street.Consequently there are dining options galore,from budget, student-friendly places to moreupmarket restaurants.

According to Acton Consolidated’s ChrisHutchison, Broadway also has a goodinfrastructure in place and a strong sense ofcommunity. “Broadway is in an area where peopleare downsizing to apartments and it means theycan stay in the same area,go to the same shops andremain part of theircommunity,” MrHutchison said.

“Plus it’s only one set oftraffic lights to the CBD.There are lots of cafes andrestaurants and you don’t have to get into yourcar to go and buy a newspaper.”

Broadway Fair Shopping Centre has beencatering to the locals and the university folk formany years.

Mr Hutchison said the plethora of Asian food

outlets reminded him of Orchard Road inSingapore. “I go down to Broadway Fair everyother day to get my lunch,” MrHutchison said.

“There is fabulous Asianfood to choose from. TheJapanese has fantastic sushi, thenoodle bars are great andthere is the oriental shopwhere you can buy all yourAsian produce.

“It’s very cosmopolitan and Ithink that eclectic range ofshopping is certainly adrawcard for Broadway.”

With its proximity to the river and the city,Broadway is still a great place tobuy a reasonably pricedapartment.

Acton Consolidated has atwo-bedroom apartment at theend of Broadway with million-dollar river views on the marketfor $695,000.

“You can literally lie in bed and look out atJoJo’s Cafe and the river,” Mr Hutchison said.

“Plus there is a balcony and views from thelounge.”

This apartment is juxtaposed against the nearbyluxurious Esplanade Apartments and Steves

Apartments, which are priced more in the multi-millions.

On the site of theold Nedlands ParkHotel, or Steves as itwas more affectionatelyknown, StevesApartments and StevesWine Bar are clearsigns of Broadway’supmarket appeal.

Linda Sullivan, fromMack Hall andAssociates, is the selling

agent for the stunning Steves Apartments andconfesses to already being a regular at StevesWine Bar.

“Everybody I know in Dalkeith is going toSteves,” she said.

“It offers a really sophisticated option for theover 30s and the local community.” Steves WineBar features WA's first gas-pressured wine taps.

There are also cheese tastings and a Tapas Barand restaurant headed by Brian Leyden, formerlyof Mustard Catering.

“There's always lots happening on Broadwayand why shouldn't there be? It’s a great street,”Ms Sullivan said.

“It’s so close to the city and the river and thereare some great cafes and restaurants.” ■
