CLAREMONT is fast becoming oneof the western suburbs’ best perform-ers, especially since the opening of thesecond stage of the Claremont Quar-ter last month, according to local realestate agent Peter Clements of WilliamPorteous Properties International.

“I think that the next quarterly fig-ures for Claremont will surprise every-one,” he said.

“Nedlands had a great run in 2010with a huge amount of sales, and pricesgrew in comparison to Claremont;however, Nedlands is resting now andClaremont is making its run.”

He said there had been a noticeablechange in buyers’ behaviour in Clare-mont, attributable to convenience.

“With the Quarter in such closeproximity to the heritage precinct(Mary Street to Brown Street betweenStirling Highway and Gugeri Street), theQuarter means not having to jump inthe car to go to the shops, bars andrestaurants, as it’s just a stroll away.

“The proof is that the square metrerate for land in the precinct is nowhigher than south of the highway or theriver side.”

Mr Clements said most people were

frustrated with traffic stoppages and alack of parking during the Quarter’sconstruction, but that was now a “thingof the past”.

“This is combined with the fact thatClaremont has been a resting giant dur-ing the global financial crisis with pricescoming off since the heady times,” headded.

Mr Clements recently sold 21Chester Road, Claremont for $6.3 mil-lion and 15 Vaucluse Avenue, Clare-mont for around $4 million, which hebelieves demonstrates great signs ofrecovery for the area. ■

BY getting their pulses racing,the team at OrangeTee GossipRealty have raised valuablefunds for the Heart Founda-tion.

The real estate agencyorganised a fitness ‘boot camp’for residents and workers inthe inner city area over thepast six weeks.

“Every Wednesday eveningfor the past six weeks, Laura

guided local residents andworkers through a speciallydesigned fitness programwhich was held in a number ofinner city parks.

“People who took part inthe boot camp were asked tomake a small financial contri-bution which Gossip Realtywill donate to The Heart Foun-dation.

“The boot camp provedvery popular with the localcommunity and we plan toorganise a similar boot camplater this year which again willraise funds for The HeartFoundation.”

Rents need monitoringWITH rental vacancy rates now falling inPerth, landlords have been urged to reviewrents on a regular basis to make sure theyare reflective of market prices.

According to Jones Ballard PropertyGroup, weekly rents had not been regular-ly reviewed by a pri-vate landlord for aproperty onLabouchere Road inSouth Perth, withthe property beingleased for $400 perweek when JonesBallard took overthe management ofthe property.

After a review byJones Ballard, the property was re-leasedfor $470 per week, meaning the propertywill now generate over $3600 in addition-al rental income during the coming year.

Jones Ballard operations manager Cas-sandra Mason said the company leased arecord 40 properties during February andhad already leased more than 20 thismonth.

“This high demand for rental propertieshas meant that our rental vacancy rate hasfallen to 2.9 per cent and there is now anupward pressure on rents,’’ she said.

“Jones Ballard regularly reviews theweekly rents of the properties we manage

and current reviewsare resulting in aver-age weekly rents ris-ing between $10 to$20.”

Ms Mason said iflandlords did notundertake regularrental reviews, theycould be missing outon thousands of dol-lars each year.

“Many private landlords such as the oneon Labouchere Road, very often do nothave the time or experience to review andre-set weekly rents, in contrast to land-lords who use the services of propertymanagement companies,’’ she said.

“With weekly rents now rising in Perth,this regular review is now paramount toboosting their annual cash flow.” ■

An inspiring body of workIF there was ever a perfect family home, this isit.

A back yard that spills directly on to openparkland with direct access to the beach, a mod-ern, light filled interiorand a warm homelyambience are just someof its desirable features.

Subtly hidden on aquiet street amongshady peppermint trees,few would ever pass byBendigo Way.

The owners boughtthe original 1970s homein 2007 and immediatelyfell in love with its“good bones”.

Two years later, theystripped it to a shell andinjected colour, light anda fabulous contempo-rary fit out.

They also pulleddown a section of therear fence to allow full interaction with the parkand playground.

Wanting to integrate the indoor and outdoor,they opened up much of the house with cedar-framed bifold doors and windows, creating ver-satile living spaces both inside and out.

Landscaped gardens surround the saltwaterpool, which is flanked by several entertainingareas.

Another functional feature of the home isclever separation, withadult and guest living onthe ground floor, and allminor bedrooms and anactivity room on thefirst floor – super handyfor the owner’s threechildren (aged 10 andunder.)

The master bedroomopens on to a lush bam-boo fringed courtyard,which is also the stun-ning entrance way intothe home.

The striking kitchenis designed around acentral stainless steelisland bench and stovewith canopy rangehood.

A Bisazza mosaictiled feature wall enhances the space.

After dinner, a gas log fire in the lounge roomawaits, encased in a stylish stucco polished con-crete feature wall.With all the above and thebeach just a short three-minute walk away, thisinspiring property is faultless. ■

“We wanted to utilise every space.”A wide cedar front door opens into the con-

temporary yet timeless interior.Exceptional attention to detail features

throughout,with colonial-style skirting and cor-nices, and extra-height colonial-style door-frames.

A sophisticated galley kitchen overlooks thelounge and dining areas, with glass stackerdoors out to an entertainer’s alfresco area withan island gourmet gas barbecue and Vintec barfridges.

The cedar-lined alfresco area also features

jarrah decking, a woven-leaf ceiling fan and lime-stone wall gas fireplace.

A heated swimming pool looks stunning atnight with its water wall and multi-colouredmood lighting.

Back inside, a blackbutt timber staircase withdecorative wrought-iron balustrade leads tothe second level.

Three minor bedrooms are on this level withaccess to an expansive second living area, idealas a parents’ retreat, with a cathedral-like win-

dow capturing a lovely treetop outlook.The master bedroom is on the ground level

and includes a walk-in robe and ensuite.■

Diplomacy as an art formWITH a collection you’re more likely to seein a museum than a furniture store, the newlyopened Ambassador De Buenos Aires in Leed-erville offers something unique and special toits customers.

After his trip to Buenos Aires in Argentina,owner Greg Baker told Residential he was cap-tivated by the city, its people and the wealth ofbeautiful art deco furnishings.

“Having spent four years establishing Baker& Shuhandler, renovating the new premiseswith the help of my familyand moving us in, I wasready for a new challenge;something that wouldexpress my love of ele-gant, timeless, artisan-made furniture,’’ MrBaker said.

“The Art Deco andMid Century stylesexpress this to per-

fection. I guess I had learnt a lot from that firstbusiness and was ready to put all those lessonsinto practise in a mature, warm and sophisti-cated space.”

Ambassador was officially opened last weekand features a mix of vintage and new furnish-ings.

“All the pieces were hand selected on mytrips overseas to Buenos Aires and Shanghai.Many are unique pieces,’’ Mr Baker said.

“We’ve carefully selected a blend of vintageand new that would work well in

period homes or moderncoastal style dwellings.

“We’re not a run-of-the-mill

furniturestore, and definitely

not an antique shop. Ithink we have something

new and exciting to offer tothe Perth interiors scene.”Using recycled timbers where

possible, or solid plantation timbers,and classic veneers such as rosewood and

burled oak polished to a high gloss with stur-dy polished stainless steel, the ranges are all

about beauty and craftsmanship.“The Signature range is an

exclusive range of ArtDeco inspired pieces,custom made for us inour artisans’ workshopsin Buenos Aires,’’ MrBaker said.

“Whereas our fullyrecycled Consul range,has a timeless, industrialaesthetic, with weather-work timbers and chunkywrought iron fittings.”

Mr Bakersaid he was

also proud to display hisselection of individually

chosen, vintageoriginals from the treasuretroves of Buenos Aires. Rang-ing from 1930’s French Art

Deco to 1940’s American streamline, and50s/60s post war modernist, the selection isconstantly changing and always a surprise.

Ambassador is at 626 Newcastle Street, andis just a few minutes to the cafestrip on Oxford Street.

The store offers free in-storeconsultations for those wantingexpert advice on design and

decorating needs and a freeresource library for those who wishto peruse the many books and maga-zines whilst enjoying a complimenta-

ry latte. For more information call GregBaker on
