A simple truth known to our clients is this: weekenders don’t have to bebeside the seaside to be restful. In fact, weekend retreats in rural placeslike the Yarra Ranges‘ home illustrated here, can provide a year-roundtranquillity unattainable to those in popular beach locations.
We have designed and built ‘second homes’ for clients in locations allaround Melbourne, from the coastal extremities of the Mornington andBellarine Peninsulas to the ‘tree-change’ areas around Woodend,Kyneton and the Yarra Ranges. In all locations our designs are individual,contemporary and bright.
These days too, in a development we welcome, we are frequently beingbriefed to design city houses with the simplicity, informality and ease ofmaintenance of a coastal or country property. Typically such briefs arefor empty nesters and retirees who have neither the need nor the desirefor large, high maintenance properties and yearn for the relaxation andsimplicity of an endless weekend.

500 worldwide. Only 10 in Australia. Now, 1 in Blackburn.
������������������������������������ ���������������������
Only 500 have been manufactured in the world with only 10 vehicles – all sold – destined for Australia. A team of highly skilled craftsmen built our vehicle by hand, with its V10 engine being assembled by a single engineer, bearing his personal signature. The world now has a new supercar to lead them all, the Lexus LFA.
F or the charming beachside fish and chip shack, this was the moment the manager had been waiting for. One brief window of four, maybe five
weeks in which to make that one financial killing of the year: a captive market of hot, hungry visitors queued at the window, flake ready for batter, chips ready to fry.
The days were hot, damn hot, and the hordes descended on the small business staffed by a casual summertime staff of students and young people, fly-by-nighters and travellers. The trouble was the manager had not counted on the combined effect of hot days, a small space, many fryers and not quite enough air-conditioning. The young staff became angry, saying the working conditions were unbearable: they downed frying baskets and walked out en masse. The manager pleaded for their return, promising better working conditions, but they didn’t come back.
It’s a true story. This happened while I was on holidays this summer, and the place certainly hadn’t managed to re-open while we were still there. It may not have since. We’ve all worked our fair share of crappy jobs, and I can imagine just how awful that environment would have been for the kids, but the two sides of this story – poor conditions on the one hand, and a workforce that feels it can pick and choose its jobs
with ease on the other – tells a large part of the complex workforce story that is set to become a pivotal chapter in this country’s economic narrative.
In some sectors, we simply don’t have enough workers, such as hospitality and mining. In other areas, such as the desperately struggling retail sector, many employees will even now be unaware that they are confronting layoffs and closures. Potential unemployment now attends the lives of many Australians, but paradoxically they are not the same
Australians who are so keenly needed elsewhere.Looming unemployment is the elephant about
to enter the room, and few have anticipated the effects of this unexpected and smelly gatecrasher.
One leading retailer told me that, far from employing the several hundred casual
Christmas staff they routinely take on, this year not one more person was enlisted. Existing staff
were already asking for more hours, and there were none to be had: these people had to be protected and maintained, but the retailer just couldn’t see how they all will be.
A major figure in Australia’s hospitality trade has a very different perspective, and it’s a tough one. “I want to see some more unemployment in this country: that
way people will have to fight a little harder to get a job, and they’ll work harder on their skills.” This person – who has seen it all – is staggered at the mediocrity of talent on display, the lack of application, the tendency to chuck it all in when it gets too hard. Call it the MasterChef phenomenon: you want me to chop that? Sorry – I took this job to become a celebrity!
Last week the Transport and Tourism Forum chief executive, John Lee, said the only answer to a chronic shortage of staff was to allow the importation of tens of thousands of bartenders, chefs and wait staff, a move the federal government is now planning. “We would love to employ locals,” Lee said, “but unfortunately they just don’t want to get out there and clean toilets and serve people because they think that is all beneath them.”
I can hear the howls of outrage now: from parents who don’t want to see their children exploited; from workers who can’t see why they should waste their one shot at life on jobs that aren’t good enough. And both arguments have a great impact. But so does the dole queue. In the absence of significant economic growth largely created by forces beyond our control, which argument will win? \

february 1, 2012 \ The weekly review 5
Cox, who is single, a fact that is rather oddly included on her Wikipedia page, concedes that the attention is not all from girls. “A little bit” has certainly come from teenage boys too. Unfortunately for them, and even more so for the likely lads she met at Schoolies Week, she’s a tough crowd.
“I think boys are probably at their worst at that age. Especially when you throw in alcohol, no parents and their own hotel room. It’s not a good mix.”
She was scheduled to have a week-long break at Schoolies but returned home alone after a couple of days. Instead of partying with her friends, whose summer mantra is apparently
“no commitments”, she’s back in her family home at Eltham, continuing hers in a follow-up phone interview.
“(Schoolies) was fun for a night, it was like ‘wooooo’. Then I just found it gross. Everyone was there to get really drunk. I just wanted to go home. It was the same thing over and over. It gets monotonous. I think I’ve grown up quicker than my friends, because they were all ‘woop woop’ and, I don’t know, I just found it really boring. It’s probably because I’ve been exposed to the adult world through Top Model. You’re just introduced to so many people and you’re constantly around adults and around their experiences. You learn off them and you have to interact with them on a certain level. That cultivates maturity. You can’t really act immaturely in those circumstances. You have to be professional. You can’t be this stupid little 18-year-old.”
Back in her family home, an “old rustic house with vines all over it on a nice big property”, Cox’s voice is relaxed and slow. She doesn’t have to be anything in this place, other than a daughter and a sister. She speaks of her love for their life there, which includes “heaps of animals”, a chicken coop and other country trimmings, such as a mother who cooks huge home-made pies for eight, that are demolished by the family of only four.
“I had a homely upbringing but I grew up as much in the city. I’m not a country girl at all. I do love Sydney but I’m definitely a Melbourne girl. It’s my favourite place. It’s a generalisation, I know, but people are just nicer here and our nightlife is much better. We have better music and better bars and restaurants.”
From the cool and quiet of her bedroom, a place of “controlled chaos”, Cox looks to the future. Her manic life, and the expectations that sudden success has thrust upon her, are far enough removed to get some peace.
Her dreams are crystal clear: to walk at high-fashion runway shows for designers such as Alexander Wang and Isabel Marant – her favourites – and to travel. To Paris and Milan first, of course. But in her mature, methodical way, Cox reframes the question so it’s less about the future than it is about the day after today.
“To make it as a model you have to be really patient and you have to be good with people,” Cox says.
“You’re thrown in with new people all the time, stylists and photographers and make-up artists. I think you have to be a nice person. People aren’t going to want to work with you if you’re grumpy and angry all the time. Supermodels do have that reputation, so I guess I’ll just have to be lovely until I get to that point. Then I can be a complete bitch … Right now I’m making my way up there, and it’s pretty easy for me because I do love doing this as a job.” \
Montana Rox
coveR StoRy \ Add ‘Super’ to a noun and it changes everything. ‘Man’. ‘Car’. ‘Power’. But especially ‘Model’. Sarah Murdoch said Montana Cox is one in the making. Andrew MCUtChen agrees.
t alk is cheap, sure. But it starts to increase in value with each superlative and as reputations are staked on predictions. Montana Cox, reality television star and captain of Nillumbik House in 2011
at Eltham College – a charming mix of mortal and celebrity the 18-year-old carries well – did not just win Australia’s Next Top Model 2011. She obliterated it.
Let the talk begin. Alex Perry stated, “(Montana) is the calibre of girl you would see in any international fashion magazine”. Sarah Murdoch ran with it and called her “a supermodel in the making”. Harper’s Bazaar Australia editor Edwina McCann trumped the pack, lauding Montana Cox, “Monty” to friends, as “the greatest discovery for any Next Top Model series”.
In a minibus on the way to Cox’s first ever shoot as a professional model, it seems the perfect time to ask, politely, is she feeling any pressure, for example? She shifts in her seat a little, smiling.
“Yeah, I suppose there is, because you’ve got to strike when the iron’s hot and right now is my opportunity and I’ve got to take it. It is the moment,” she says. “There is a bit of pressure to live up to expectations too. There were a lot of things said. And previous winners have done really well. So I have to give it a red-hot go.”
But, if recent history is anything to go by, Cox is being a little too kind. The winner of Australia’s Next Top Model in 2009, Tahnee Atkinson, has barely been sighted since, and 2006 winner Eboni Stocks was waiting tables in a Sydney restaurant less than two years after walking at New York Fashion Week.
The 2010 winner, Amanda Ware, on the other hand, has emphatically risen above reality television’s most epic of fails, when Murdoch mistakenly announced the runner-up, Kelsey Martinovich, as the winner. Ware has since launched a stellar modelling career and resides in New York, where she is signed with S Models. The ex-Gold Coast waitress has walked at New York, London and Paris fashion weeks for designers including Nicole Farhi, L’Wren Scott and label Kenzo.
So winning the competition is no guarantee of success in this “stitches-and-bitches” industry.
“I’m so in awe of Amanda’s achievements,” Cox says as the minibus pulls up to the footpath outside the Lamborghini showroom near the corner of Chapel Street and Alexandra Avenue.
There’s a moment, as we’re climbing out of the minibus with the 8am sun in our eyes that is as striking as any later captured by Vogue street-style photographer Candice Lake: Cox, in a sheer blue dress, standing tall (she’s more than 1.8 metres in heels) with her arm raised to shield her eyes, silver sequined clutch in hand. Behind her, a burnt-orange Lamborghini Aventador: there are striking lines in the background and the foreground.
Frank Sinatra once said: “If you want to be someone you buy a Ferrari. If you are someone you buy a Lamborghini.” You get the sense this young woman already fits into the latter category.
It’s Cox’s lovely, unaffected grace during in-between moments such as this – when she is not trying to be somebody, but just “is” – that inspires Rose Marie Pengelly, the marketing rep on site for today’s Betts for Her photo shoot. The West Australian-based men’s and women’s shoe shop has narrowed its range to women’s only in the Melbourne concept store, located across from the Jam Factory on Chapel Street.
“The beauty about a good model is that you don’t have to tell them too much. They know themselves and they know their bodies,” says Pengelly, who works for marketing company The Arc Factory. “Montana knows the right angles for her face, the right posture of her body, she knows how to do it. For someone so young she’s really got her head screwed on … It’s all about shoes today and she knows how to do her strides so that it’s all about her feet. You can’t teach someone how to move that naturally.
“You look at someone like Tahnee Atkinson in comparison,” Pengelly says. “I don’t know how she’s doing. You haven’t really seen her since she won. Because of her physique, it’s hard for her to get international work. Whereas Montana, we’ll probably see her on catwalks. She’s got longevity in the industry because of her physique. She’s really tall and lanky and proportional.”
Despite Cox‘s confidence – well and truly on show throughout the shoot on Church Street Bridge, as she deals with wolf whistles from car windows, cyclists wobbling past the posse and Candice Lake’s instructions, delivered like a sporting coach – she claims to have an attitude that prevents her from ever getting “too far ahead” of herself. Even as Top Model progressed, and she emerged as the one to beat, Cox never expected to win.
“I’m just not that kind of person,” she says. “I never put myself in that light. I just take things day by day and I don’t think about the outcome too much. I’m a positive person, but I’m never overconfident; I always just try my best and whatever happens, happens.
“For most of Model I was under the radar anyway. No one really noticed me until the Makeover episode, when I came out of my shell. Until then I just barely snuck through each stage.”
Whatever Cox’s strategy was, it worked. The outcome when it came to Top Model will no doubt continue to be a game, and life, changer. Cox won an eight-page spread and earned the right to have her face on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar, December 2011 edition, where she looked by turns ravishing and elfin in a range of high-fashion gowns and dresses. Other prizes included a modelling contract with Chic Model Management, $20,000 cash, a Ford Fiesta and a trip to New York City to meet with Next Model Management.
You would think, with a few months now to have absorbed the win, that Cox would be somewhat used to her post-Top Model life.
But she sometimes entirely forgets that the whole thing ever happened. Until, that is, a reminder comes, which it does daily and in a usually unsettling way: “I’ll be walking down the street and I’ll think people will be eviling me,” she says, hunching her brows.
“But then I’ll remember that I was in Model. Then I remember that I won it. The whole coming up to me on the street thing is always exactly the same, especially with 14 to 15-year-old girls. It starts with staring and pointing, then they kind of wave and you wave back and say ‘Hiiii …’ And then they say, “Are you Montana?” And I say, ‘Yeahhh’, and they say, ‘Can we get a photo?’ Then, ‘Thanks, I love you!’ That’s word for word what everybody says. “There’s a million shots of me on other people’s Facebook. My friends were telling me that they saw these shots of me with random girls at a Safeway, and I’m like, ‘What the hell?’.”

At the beAch a good pair of high-waisted shorts and you can’t go wrong. i always like going to Savers and getting a big t-shirt and cutting the sleeves off. i think that works a charm every time. that’s pretty much all you need with a good pair of sunnies and some black Havaianas thongs. they go with everything. i’m always wearing sunscreen, too, by the way.

too faced
Face \ Cleanse and apply a light moisturiser before wearing an SPF 30+ sunscreen. Always wait a few minutes in between applications so that products can settle into the skin. Apply a primer – one that is water-based and oil-free. This will ensure that your make-up will go on smoothly and stay on. Apply concealer only or use a tinted moisturiser instead of cloying cream or powder foundations.
Try... Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer Light ($52.95) – pure perfection.Clarins HydraQuench Tinted Moisturiser ($58) – the texture is unbelievable.Benefit dr.feelgood ($53) – simply the best prescription for mattifying the skin.
eyes \ Skip shadow totally and line eyes with a liner and smudge, set with some loose powder. Apply mascara lightly. With excellent staying power and formulations, the new waterproof mascaras are a real treat – one coat will suffice.
Try... If you have to use eyeshadows, opt for powder shadows as they stay on longer. But be certain to apply Benefit Stay Don’t Stray eyelid primer ($45) – a miracle of a product. And you have to try these, too:Covergirl Liquiline Blast Eyeliner ($14.95).Maybelline New York Volum’ Express Turbo Boost Mascara (waterproof) $19.95.Australis Eye Shadow Primer ($12.95).
Lips \ Apply a balm that is rich in nut butters and natural ingredients. Use a lip liner and fill in the entire lip; finish with a lipgloss that is not too tacky.
Try... Burt’s Bees Nourishing Lip Balm with Mango Butter ($6.95) – a real treat. M.A.C. Cosmetics Pro Longwear Lipglass ($43) - the best to beat the heat
cheeks \ The tiniest amount of cream/liquid blush just on the apples of the cheek will make you glow instead of swelter. Blend the colour with your fingertips towards your temple and around the cheek area.
Try... Benefit Cha Cha Tint ($55) – the mango tint that totally spells summer.
Finish \ Using a mega-big powder brush, dust the faintest trace of translucent powder all over the face and use powder puff to set. Or for best results use a setting spray and recapture a hint of old-world glamour.
Try... Australis Make-Up Finishing Spritz ($14.95) – an absolute treasure of a product.Jane Iredale Balance Antioxidant Hydration ($39) – skincare in a spritz.
For Touch-ups Use a blotting powder, which takes off shine without adding much product to the whole face, not just your T-zone. Or use some blotting tissues. but be warned the more you use these, the oilier your face may become.
Try... M.A.C. Cosmetics Blot Powder ($36) – an absolute must-have.
Try This now!This summer, ditch the shimmery bronzers that we have all become so accustomed to and indulge in some refreshingly subtle matte powder bronzers with a tiny hint of shimmer.
Applying powder bronzers is more common sense than artistry. Just apply the powder where the sun will hit your face naturally.
For the most natural effect, the colour should be applied to the perimeter of the face, not just along cheekbones. Use a huge powder brush and never use a bronzer-specific brush as you will apply more (don’t know why it was even produced).
Try... Smashbox Bronze Lights Skin Perfecting Bronzer ($39.95)Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Bronzer ($52.95)Nars Bronzing Powder – Laguna ($55) – just a hint of shimmer, one of the best.Bourjois Delice de Soleil Bronzing Powder ($30) – compact is genius, so is the powder.M.A.C. Cosmetics Bronzing Powder ($39) – hands down tbe best in matte.

s ummer is full of fun and all sorts of pleasures, but I must confess it is not my favourite season. Yes I know, how can I not like the whole sun, surf and sea scenario
and all that goes with it – balmy nights, endless barbecues and dressing light?
For me, summer is stickiness, sweat, plenty of mozzie bites and fainting from heat exhaustion. And anything above 26 degrees is a heatwave. But I never write off summer, it just takes a lot of coping on my part and lots of cold showers.
The warm months are unavoidable and recently, while going through your emails, I came across a lot of “distress calls” for how to wear make-up and beat the heat and humidity?
(Happy New Year to you, by the way. I know it is February but, hey, if I can keep saying this, autumn will be just around the corner and I can breathe again.)
We all know that heat and humidity are a challenge but trying to achieve a flawless face on a hot, humid day takes on a whole new meaning. But with a few simple changes to your routine and the right products, the world is your oyster and, yes, it will save you from mopping your face off your lap by mid-morning.
Here are some steps, products and tricks to help you beat the heat and look flawless. \

ivanhoe, part country, part suburbia, is one of our most tightly held suburbs. Once people get a toehold in this leafy suburb they
are loath to move on. And why would they? They have discovered a suburb
with period houses, leafy streets, convenient to the city, great shops, schools and a village-like atmosphere.
This Queen Anne-style house, built in 1910 and extended in 1915, is quintessential Ivanhoe. The house, in one of the suburb’s leafiest streets, has drawn many admirers over the years, but few people have had their name on the title.
Being set well back from the street on its 1486-square metre block immediately gives the property an imposing street presence.
The façade, with its red brickwork, has a complex, steeply pitched roof. Tall brick chimneys with stucco finishes and terracotta chimney pots rise above the roofline. Two rooms project towards the street, beneath steep gables of timber and stucco. Their bay windows are highlighted with coloured leadlight showing the classic curved design of the period. Typically, the gables include terracotta capping and finials. In the centre, supported by four painted timber pillars, the verandah completes the ground floor.
A picturesque balcony built into the second floor, and clad in cream-painted shingles, has a conical roof over it. From here you look past the treetops and across to Kew. In fact, this is the sort of property you could find in exclusive pockets of Camberwell or Kew, but on that side of the river expect the price tag to be a lot higher.
This house also shows the influence of the arts and crafts period with its decorative ceilings, intricate timber fretwork and marvellous timber panelling.
It was renovated and extended in the 1970s and now has a kitchen and meals area overlooking the back garden. The swimming pool, pool house and a one-bedroom, one-bathroom self-contained studio with balcony are also modern additions.
The asymmetrical floor plan is a direct contrast to the symmetry of Victorian design. The front door, with its leadlight glass panel, is flanked by two more panels with coloured glass flourishes.
On one side of the entry hall, the formal living room has a decorative ceiling, an open fireplace with polished timber and mirror mantelpiece on one wall.
The main bedroom, with bay window and open fireplace, matches the living room and is at the other end of the façade.
The rest of the ground floor is made up of a study with curved window, dining room with double doors to a pantry and kitchen, and a large family room that connects to the kitchen and meals area. The rumpus room, with its unadorned plain ceiling, may once have been a maid’s room.
Like all period homes, ceilings became plainer the further back you went in the house, and the rumpus room has a very plain ceiling.
Local history shows that the house’s original owner also owned a timber supply and joinery yard in Clifton Hill, which may account for the amount of quality
timber throughout the building. Timber is used for doors, in architraves, fretwork, ceiling beams, skirting boards and on the staircase. The balustrade design with cutouts in the timber uprights was typical of the arts and crafts movement.
In 1915, when the first floor was built, Australia was at war, but apparently money was not short in Locksley Road.
The staircase leads directly to three large upstairs bedrooms and a bathroom. The first, and largest, bedroom has original timber panelling and a built-in timber seat on one wall. It has a door to the balcony and double doors to a walk-in wardrobe made out of the roof space. A second bedroom has a north-easterly aspect. A third bedroom is L-shaped as a corner has been used for the bathroom, which is modern but has period-style tiles.
Out the back, the sunny outdoor entertainment terrace opens to the swimming pool, which is surrounded by terracotta tiles.
Terracotta-tiled steps lead to the “third level” of the back garden, where a red-brick studio, complete with gables, leadlight windows, balcony, bedroom and en suite offer terrific options for even more accommodation if needed.
The railway line, which runs near the rear of the property, is another aspect of Ivanhoe’s appeal. \
This Queen Anne-style residence is a testament to quality materials and workmanship, writes mAriA hArris.

For an old gold-mining town such as Diamond Creek, the development on the cusp of St Helena is a comparative newcomer. Even so, the pretty streets that now occupy farmland on the city side of
town have an air of establishment about them. The houses are attractive and contemporary, yet the gardens are lush and fully grown. Citriodora Court is one such street, and the houses lining the elevated, north-facing side have stunning views across the hills towards Kangaroo Ground.
This property makes the most of this aspect from its front lounge and the main bedroom, which includes an en suite and walk-in wardrobe. The views provide the focal
point to clean and simple interiors in a soft, neutral palette.Behind the front lounge is a study, which could easily
become a fourth bedroom. The kids’ wing is well zoned away from the parents’ bedroom and includes two bedrooms and a family bathroom with bath and separate toilet. The family comes together in the open-plan hub, served by a contemporary kitchen and light-filled meals area. When guests come over, the party can spill into the oversized rumpus or onto the pebbled terrace bordered by established landscaped gardens.
This 756-square metre property is walking distance to St Helena Market Place and St Helena College and is well positioned just moments from the ring road. \ LIAM CARTER

If you’re a nature lover, it’s hard to go past this property. It’s surrounded by mature shade trees and has picturesque views of the surrounding suburbs. The place is set over three levels, so it will accommodate
most family dynamics.Aside from the large lounge, intimate formal dining
area and spacious kitchen/meals area, the best part is the elevated deck. When the current owners first moved in, they extended what was a balcony into the perfect spot to host family gatherings. Nature reserves and parks are right at your back fence.
The main bedroom has an en suite and walk-in wardrobe. Another large bedroom downstairs also has an en suite and a private outdoor area. Three other rooms can be set up any way you like – either as bedrooms or study areas. There’s also lots of under-house storage, some of which is ideal for your wine. \ BIANCA VILLAROSA
This property has a striking street presence with its bold hillside façade bound by manicured gardens. But it’s through the double stained-glass doors and up the stairs from the foyer that is the real showstopper.
The vast split-level living space is a sight to behold. Wrought-iron chandeliers hang from almost four-metre-high ceilings in the lounge. Twin sets of french doors access a balcony with views over the hills to Diamond Creek.
Perched above the lounge is a dining space with a bay window and a large country-style kitchen with fixed island bench and Miele and Ilve appliances. A second living space is nearby. It connects to a covered outdoor entertainment area. A short journey through landscaped gardens takes you to the pool with gazebo. The luxurious main bedroom has soaring ceilings, private balcony, en suite with corner spa and walk-in wardrobe. Two more bedrooms share a family bathroom with separate toilet. \ LIAM CARTER

Locals know this place as the B&B behind the old Adams of North Riding restaurant. The eatery has long gone, but the B&B still attracts weekenders to this gorgeous part of the world, famous for its eclectic Saturday
market and iconic live-music pub.The buyers of this 1.6-hectare hideaway may choose
to continue the business and capitalise on the area’s attractions, such as local wineries and the new wood-fired pizza restaurant, or simply enjoy the serenity themselves.
The detached two-suite bed-and-breakfast is just as suited to accommodation for teenagers. Their friends could come and go from the ample parking bay without setting foot into the main house. The two cedar-clad buildings are connected by a series of decks and walkways.
Blurring the line between indoor and outdoor living, all five of this property’s bedrooms, including the three in the main house, have direct access to a deck or patio. A circular north-facing terrace is in fact the roof of one the two concrete water tanks.
Water is not a problem here with two dams, including one with a jetty. The idyllic bush surrounds stream through vast picture windows and are reflected in the soaring timber-lined ceilings in the main living hub.
Nearby, a kitchen impresses with stainless steel benches, commercial oven, cool room and walk-in pantry. The lower-level bedroom could easily become an artist’s studio. It connects to a large cellar. \ LIAM CARTER

The owners should be congratulated on how well they have maintained this 12-year-old house. The high ceilings, a pale colour scheme, polished floors and open spaces provide an aesthetically pleasing setting.
The formal lounge is the ideal spot for a catch-up with friends and the open fireplace seals the deal on cooler nights. For casual living, settle for the kitchen/meals area. It has doors that lead to an undercover dining area and the back garden. If this doesn’t provide enough entertainment, then enjoy a game of billiards. A games room has been set up under the house and has a wine cellar. A sitting room is at the rear of the housek. It also opens onto a private balcony offering views of surrounding suburbs. The main bedroom is near the formal lounge and has an en suite and walk-in wardrobe. Two other bedrooms are down the hallway and share a bathroom. A fourth bedroom has been set up as a study. \ BIANCA VILLAROSA
Hidden behind lush green hedges, this three-bedroom weatherboard house is gauranteed privacy. The interior has been revamped and modernised, providing a fresh feel to each room. A new coat of
paint, polished timber floors and a renovated lounge are some of the recent improvements. The current owners relax with the family in the lounge and admire the beautiful mantelpiece built by a relative. Chatting on the front verandah with garden views is another option, as is year-round on the undercover deck/barbecue area. It overlooks the pet-friendly backyard, which has plenty of lawn space and a cubby house the kids will love. A workshop has doors that lead to a haven for the man of the house – there’s a television, fridge and lounge. The main bedroom is at the front of the house. Two other bedrooms are near the kitchen and dining area. All three bedrooms share the family bathroom. \ BIANCA VILLAROSA

Let’s not beat around the bush, this place needs work and lots of it. But what you are buying here is a piece of prized Eltham land in one of the suburb’s most leafy pockets. The block is larger than most at 920 square
metres and includes a dense bush border offering genuine privacy in the backyard. The house, mostly untouched since it was built in the early 1970s, should be updated to make the most of the north-facing aspect out back. The pool in the backyard, no doubt once the jewel of this bush oasis, could be brought back to life. A creative buyer or clever tradesperson will see that the split-level floor plan also provides much to work with. The living spaces – kitchen, meals and a street-facing lounge – could be opened up to enhance the sense of light and space. The lower level houses three good-sized bedrooms and two bathrooms, including one with separate toilet and shower. There is room to extend front and back should more accommodation be needed. \ LIAM CARTER

This house transports you to another place with its quirky and cool interior. It was built in the late 1960s and still exudes that retro feel. Wallpaper and timber panelling adorn the walls, a rare combination that provides
an interesting feel to the lounge area. The kitchen has a motif of a shield, boomerang and spears in the linoleum floor. The amber windows provide plenty of natural light while the separate living areas and earthy tones make for an appealing interior. There is a self-contained unit at the rear of the house, which comes with a bedroom, kitchen, living area and bathroom. This was the original house but the owners – who are the original occupants – extended forward as the family grew. Unwind in the lounge at the front of the house, or step up into the dining area and kitchen. The three bedrooms share the pebble-tiled bathroom with its pale-green basin, bathtub and splashback. This property has ample off-street parking and is close to transport and schools. \ BIANCA VILLAROSA
