French star baker Gontran Cherrier makes a croissant for us.

t used to be conventional wisdom that if you wanted your child to keep you in style in your old age, you should put a golf club or tennis racquet in their hand as soon as they could walk. Golf and tennis were the sports where the big money was. These days you’d be better off handing them a basketball. According to BRW’s latest list of Australia’s richest sportsmen, three of our top 10 earners are basketballers. Is it a coincidence, then, that basketball has emerged over the past decade or so as one of the most popular sports among Aussie kids, eclipsing cricket, tennis and AFL in terms of participation, according to ABS figures? Of course the hundreds of thousands of kids who take to our suburban basketball courts each week won’t all end up playing with the NBA on $40 million-plus contracts – like this week’s cover star, Andrew Bogut. But his journey from Dandenong all the way to sports superstardom makes one hell of a story. Enjoy! ●

’m standing next to Andrew Bogut in his management’s office in Port Melbourne. Actually, as he is 2.13 metres (seven feet) tall, it feels like I’m standing under Andrew Bogut. But his height isn’t the only eye-opening aspect of our time together. It’s a surprise to know that the 31-year-old, who has been surrounded by the rap culture of the American basketball world since he moved to the US on a basketball scholarship at 18, is more into Bruce Springsteen and Fleetwood Mac. “It’s heavily a hip hop/rap-type culture, which is not something that I’m into, so it does get hard at times not fitting in with that culturally,” he says. “It’s actually cool to immerse yourself in a different culture sometimes but you just know deep down sometimes it’s not how I was brought up. It would be similar to them coming to Australia, it would be a culture shock. So I still have culture shock every now and again, and still get homesick from time to time, even though I’m 10-15 years into living in the States.” With his great height it’s probably not hugely surprising that gymnastics’ and taekwondo’s loss was basketball’s gain. Growing up in Dandenong and later Endeavor Hills, Andrew’s older sister did gymnastics and Andrew “got pulled into [it]”. “I absolutely hated gymnastics,” he says. “Too long and lanky for it. I wasn’t the most flexible bloke growing up.” At nine he played football (Vic Kick, now Auskick) and then taekwondo, but nothing was sticking. “I didn’t get my stripe one week and it p---ed me off,” he says of taekwondo. “I was over it, didn’t want to do it any more.” He loved basketball from watching it on TV but had never tried it. “It was between basketball and footy,” he says. “The parents said, ‘This is the last time you change sports. It’s costing us fees and driving you around. Pick what you want to do’.”

JUNE 15, 2016 \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW 9

strong element of Andrew’s career narrative has been his battle with injury. In one fall in March 2010, during a career-best year, he dislocated and hyper-extended his right elbow and broke his wrist. “Probably the worst injury of my career,” he says. “My elbow was facing the other way. Still a tough thing to swallow knowing I was having such a great year. My status kept going up every year and it kind of took a downturn a little bit. But I salvaged it.” He was meant to be out for 12 months but returned, “stupidly”, he says, five months later. “That whole following season I had nerve issues and lost a lot of feeling in my right arm, which is tough for a guy that shoots with his right hand,” Andrew says. “A lot of the skills I relied upon kind of went out the window. It was still a decent year, numbers-wise.” But the pain continued all year. “It got to a point where someone had stuck a knife [in it], so every five shots I’d go, ‘What’s going on?’” At the end of the season he had a clean-out

Andrew made a good choice. He became a superstar of the game, playing in America’s National Basketball Association with the Golden State Warriors, based in Oakland, California. Australia’s highest-earning sportsperson, three years ago he signed a contract worth a reported $44 million. His fortune has been estimated at more than $100 million. But at 17 his dream of playing in the US was just that – a dream. “I always thought I could be at least an NBL (Australian league) player but I was told by everyone, ‘You’re not going to make it, the percentages are too low’, blah blah. It did fire me up a little bit more. That’s how it is. The numbers are in their favour to say that. Chances are very rare.” Andrew went to college at the University of Utah in Salt Lake City on a basketball scholarship and showed huge promise. He received offers to move to other colleges but knocked them back because he’d given his word to play for Utah for no money, just an education. He was the first pick in the NBA’S 2005 draft, the first Australian to achieve this. He played with the Milwaukee Bucks for seven years, which ensured strong media scrutiny. “It’s not something I enjoy even to this day,” he says. “I like flying under the radar. I don’t do the Hollywood-type stuff.”

“and there was a loose bone floating around in there”. He recovered, was back in great shape and playing well again. But in January 2011, 10 games into the season, he snapped his left ankle. It was a 12-month injury. Surgery followed, but it was still an issue. “I couldn’t push off my ankle; it was swollen after every game. I had no power off that left side.” In 2012 Milwaukee traded Andrew to the Golden State Warriors, where he has become a key player with one of the NBA’s powerhouse teams. Twice his career could have ended. “The elbow one I could always bounce back from … but you lose a lot of skill and a lot of touch with the right hand … The ankle one was the one where they said, ‘High chance you won’t be able to run properly again’. The surgeon did a great job. He said, ‘You’ll never be the same, you’ll feel the difference; we did the best we could’.” The past few years, he says, have been relatively healthy, but he has to manage the ankle injury daily. “I’m 129 kilos, it’s a lot of force through that ankle, I’ve got to make sure I do my rehab, every other day, three or four times a week.” Andrew now lives in California and travels back to Melbourne every off season for a month or so to catch up with family and friends and to oversee his business interests here, which include a sports agency and “a bunch of commercial investment properties that I manage myself”. He owns a basketball facility in Carrum Downs that he wants to turn into an academy for kids. On his last trip to Melbourne I ask whether his wealth has changed him. “It changes a lot,” he says. “It changes friends, it changes family, it changes a lot of different things. People around you change. A lot of people will see you as an ATM where they think they can just come up to you and withdraw money. It’s kind of the nature of the beast. “You get a lot of family and friends with business ideas or, ‘You should invest in this’ or ‘I need this’ or ‘I need that’ and eventually you get to a point where you say ‘no’. That’s probably the hardest part for me as an athlete … “When people reach out to me whom I haven’t spoken to for a while … I can already tell there’s an agenda. It’s an unfortunate way to think, but I can already see the red flags.” With 18 months left on his contract with the Warriors,

“I was told by everyone, ‘you’re not going to make it’ … It did fire me up a little bit”

e has always been aware of the dangers of not having a plan. “You see a lot of athletes, a massive number, hit depression even though it’s not reported, not knowing what to do. You come from almost an army lifestyle, a regimented regime … to all of a sudden wake up … Nothing.” Does this frighten him? “Not at all. I’m pretty regimented. I have a lot of interests. To be honest I’m busier in the off-season than the on-season. I knew there was a correlation between athletes going crazy towards the end of their career. During your career you’ve got to have outlets away from basketball.” One of those for Andrew is poker. “It’s probably not a great one, but I love cards. I never play against the house, I never play blackjack but I love playing poker.” It’s an enjoyable distraction. “It’s not so much for big money, it just takes my mind away,” he says. “When you’re in a hand of cards – for me, anyway – it takes my mind away from any stress because you’re focused on the moment. And I enjoy counting odds and reading people, all the intricacies that come with it.” Another major passion is old Australian and American muscle cars. As the son of a mechanic, he grew up around cars. How many muscle cars does he own? “Too many. I’m not a Ford versus Holden guy, I like both. I like ’70s Ford, GTs and Mustangs, and for the ’80s I like the Brock Commodores. I grew up around Brock Commodores; they were always the wow-factor car.” When basketball ends, he would like to learn how to restore cars. “I’d like to buy some crappy car for a couple of grand and just strip the thing down and do it all myself. Make a mistake – mate, if it finishes with five wheels or three wheels that’s not the point, the point of the exercise is to learn.” ● pwilmoth@theweklyreview.com.au

Andrew has ensured he will transition well into retirement. “I have a lot of things that take up time off the court, business interests,” he says. “I do a lot of things around property, especially in Melbourne. First and foremost is managing my wealth. I’m fortunate enough that when I retire, whether it’s here or the States, or wherever it is, I don’t have to do a nine to five and come into the same place every day. “Right now that’s a huge advantage where I can tinker with a bunch of different things … and just be involved in raising my kids when I have them one day. I don’t think I’ll be involved in the sport too much, although you never know.”

Ask the wine guy keep reading about terroir and Q Iwine. What does it mean? terroir is a French concept that by A definition takes in the following elements: vineyard site, winemaking

and climate. The idea is that the wine speaks of the site it was grown on, rather than the influence of the winemaker. We’re talking about single vineyards here, but not necessarily single grape varieties. Many vineyards are planted to several varieties that get blended together – these wines are capable of showing off their vineyard site, too. ● GOT A QUESTION EMAIL \

Willow Creek Malakoff Vineyard Shiraz 2014 (Pyrenees) $30; 13.5%

Craggy Range Aroha Te Muna Pinot Noir 2014 (Martinborough) $140; 13.5%

Oakridge Local Vineyard Series Lusatia Park Pinot Noir 2014 (Yarra Valley) $36; 13.5%

Malakoff is fast becoming a famous vineyard – its fruit is highly sought after – and this shiraz is a stunner. It’s all black cherries and plums, spice and white pepper. It is medium-bodied and smooth, with a great structure of fine, grippy tannins. You would expect to pay double the price for this wine. ●

Martinborough is my favourite pinot region in New Zealand. It’s a beautiful place, too. With cherry, raspberry, strawberry, plus earthy herb and wet stone flavours, the wine is smooth but lively. Its structure is spot-on: a light grip, mineral acid and loads of delicate flavour, and an effortlessness that’s perfect. ●

This is one of the local vineyard series wines – taste them all at Oakridge’s cellar door – and comes from the Lusatia Park Vineyard in the Upper Yarra. Stalky berry and cherry aromas offer up a delightful perfume before elegant flavours of forest berry, blood plum and cherries seamlessly fill the mouth. ●

If you are an Australian citizen aged 18 years or over, you are required by law to vote. So, if you’re unable to make it to a polling place on election day, you can vote early at an early voting centre or apply for a postal vote. You can vote early if you are at work on Saturday 2 July, or will be outside the electorate where you are enrolled. There are other reasons you can vote early – visit www.aec.gov.au/early to find out more.

LET ’S DO LUNCH Roti & Roti ● 1139 Glen Huntly Road, Glen Huntly ● 9077 1495 THE VIBE \ Just like an eatery in Malaysia – with roti being spun in the air over the grill at the window and fast, friendly service.

THIS WEEK I’M …

THE DECOR \ Clean and no-frills with simple, functional seating on stools around white tables. All the better to focus on the food!

THE FOOD OOD \ Authentic Malaysian roti in various guises. I’m happy with my choice of roti murtabak, which is like a pancake stuffed with minced lamb, onion and egg, served with sambal, dhal and curry sauce. There are also laksas, curries and meat skewers.

MARMARA FARE

MARMARA \ WINDSOR

THE DRINK \ It has to be teh tarik, Malaysia’s traditional sweet, milky “pulled” tea.

THE VERDICT

first dined at Marmara years ago, having returned from a trip to Istanbul. Everything hit the mark, until we got to Turkish coffees, took one salty sip and grimaced. “Maybe that’s how they do it in some regions?” I suggested, but my companion insisted on checking. “Oh no!” exclaimed the waitress, “not again!” Salt and sugar, she explained, were neighbours on the kitchen shelf and the Turkish baba on coffee sometimes mixed them up. It still makes me laugh, but something compelled me to pay them a visit recently. Their sigara boregi? Spanakopita on steroids – melty magnificence, packed with feta and spinach, encased in home-made filo. Not only have they tamed their own filo pastry – they’ve shown enough restraint to keep the ratio right: 10 per cent pastry to 90 per cent filling, thank-you. Equally impressive is the roasted red capsicum with mascarpone. So too, a plate of taramasalata, mopped with Turkish bread. Pide is like a giant pizza pocket, except there’s extra cheese inside, bleating “haloumi!” Skewered shish, kofta and sujuk (beef pepperoni) are chargrilled. For dessert, there’s mastic pudding (like a herbaceous panna cotta), baklava and kadaif. And the coffee? Sweet. ● aliceinframes@theweeklyreview.com.au ● 68 Chapel Street, Windsor ● 9510 6944 ● marmara.com.au

ISTANBUL BY NIGHT

GER ARDIN LOVES …

BRUNCH \ Shopping at Prahran market on Sunday will usually start with some cheese goodness with Anthony at MAKER & MONGER and if this doesn’t cut it then HUTONG on Commercial Road is a bit of a Sunday catch-up routine with my wife Audrey. A DATE \ The one I would choose any day of the week is FRANCE-SOIR. A bottle of Burgundy selected by Pierre, a carpaccio with truffle by Geraud and some chocolate mousse – makes me feel at home every time.

QUIET DINNER \ I love Japanese cuisine, so MR MIYAGI on Chapel Street always hits the spot. Chef Kyle Doody is unpretentious and so is his food. TO SEE & BE SEEN \ You can never beat CODA and TONKA for that. We can see the Coda guys through our windows at Oter and they’re always pumping. BIG GROUP \ SAN TELMO did a fine job at my bucks’ night, with about 15 chefs at the table.

COOKING \ As far as mid-week meals go, whacking some mussels in a pot of hot stock and finely diced veggies is as easy as it gets. You don’t even have to season because the mussels give you all the briny flavour you need. Wait until the shells pop open (about 3-4 minutes), finish with olive oil (see!) and serve with crusty bread. ● LISTENING TO \ The Tim Ferriss Show isn’t exactly food-related – in fact, it’s a fairly tenuous link, but he does speak to successful people about their routines and recurring themes seem to be mindfulness, meditation and breakfast. ●

ABOUT FLORENT Florent “Flo” Gerardin: Occasional DJ, head chef & partner at Oter

We ate a lot of chargrilled Argentinian steak that night. FANCY DINNER \ ATTICA in Ripponlea is still in my top five meals ever – I would eat here again and again at every opportunity. ●

artistic director Mike Finch, who decided to move on, Circus Oz is in a period of transition. Matt says the performers have enjoyed the freedom and honesty afforded by the show’s improvised approach. But circus always has an element of the real. “Standing on someone’s shoulder isn’t an act as such. If it falls down, it really falls down, so there is an element of reality that you don’t get in theatre.” He’s aware that this can make for a tantalising show. “That’s the funny thing with circus. We practise for years and years to get this really great trick. All your peers know it’s really bloody hard, but you perform it for the audience and they go ‘mm-hmm’. You get the trick first time and they think it looks easy. But if you fail and fail and get it on the third go, the crowd goes mental.” ● mbartlett@theweeklyreview. com.au

he circus is back in town. Returning to its big top, Circus Oz has a new show that’s as modern as they come. But while the show is called TWENTYSIXTEEN, TWENTYSIXTEEN performer Matt Wilson says it isn’t an attempt to be cutting edge. Instead, it’s intended as a bold statement of where and what the company is, right now. “In the past few years, we’ve had some pretty strong concepts behind our shows,” Matt says. “This year, we’ve just said, ‘Maybe we should improvise’. I think this is one of the most honest and real Circus Oz shows in years.” This focus on identity is no coincidence. Having recently lost

Smoke by Dan Vyleta \ Hachette, $29 danvyleta.com

There’s a whiff of Harry Potter and His Dark Materials to this fantastical thriller, but its greatest debt is to Dickens. It’s his world and characters Smoke summons up, but with a twist – in this world, the people belch more smoke than the factories do. This is a world where sin is visible. The worse the thought or deed, the blacker the smoke that seeps from mouth, nose and skin. Vivid and compelling, its ideas are as big as its heart. ● HEAR

Written and directed by Angelina Jolie, this is an earnest tribute to European cinema of the 1960s and ’70s. A faded glamour couple (Angelina and husband Brad Pitt) take shelter in a tiny French seaside town. They drink. They argue. They obsess over the sexually charged couple next door. Not much else happens, but there’s a simmering sense of imminent danger. Plus, there’s a certain frisson for the audience in reading between the lines for a glimpse of Brangelina’s home life. ● MB JUNE 15, 2016 \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW 13

GREG INGRAM \ 53

(STEPHEN McKENZIE)

Greg Ingram, a computer programmer/ analyst with Kmart, will take part in the RACV Great Victorian Bike Ride for the first time this year. “Originally, I wanted to do it with my daughter, Mary, who did it last year, but she’s doing VCE so she can’t do it,” Greg says. “One of the great things about being a part of the ride is that it covers some of my favourite places in Victoria, like the Great Ocean Road. I’m really looking forward to it. It’s just going to be a marvellous adventure.” Greg has lived in Bentleigh East with his wife Marcia and their two children for about 20 years. Where do you go for a great cup of coffee? I don’t actually drink coffee, which I guess is a bit strange. But my daughter goes to Poncho Cafe and my wife likes going to Black Salt. For a good dinner? I like the Steak Bank for a really nice steak. That place is fantastic. Further out, I like

going to Taco Bill. If we’re going out for a family thing, we might go to La Porchetta. We go to quite a few restaurants. To take time out? I love taking pictures of waterfalls. I’ve never studied it, though. I’m a self-taught amateur. For a sneaky takeaway? The Fish Shop. Yes, that’s the actual name of the place. They’re closed at the moment for renovation, which is really annoying. I love getting a hamburger from there. For some peace and quiet? That would be my computer room at the end of the house. I love that room. I play a lot of computer games. I’m playing Armored Warfare at the moment. ● ALEAH ESPANTA » The 2016 RACV Great Victorian Bike Ride goes from November 26 to December 4, from Halls Gap to Geelong via Dunkeld, Twelve Apostles and Bellbrae. » bicyclenetwork.com.au

GIVE IT A GO JANE HONE GETS SOME BALANCE

We try

The pay-off I feel relaxed straight afterwards, but Justine says the full effects will emerge over 48 hours. The next morning, for the first time in ages I don’t wake up feeling as if a truck has hit me. I feel more creative and I’m genuinely excited to start my day.

REIKI

The promise Reiki is a healing technique based on the “laying of hands” – for me, it’s a session to improve my fatigue and balance my chakras.

The pain factor Zero. Unless you’re a person who finds it difficult to lie still and relax – in which case, you definitely need to lie still and relax. The cost Initial treatments are $90 for 70 minutes, follow-up appointments are $80 for an hour, and half-hour express sessions are $50. Concession rates are also available. Who should try it? Anyone who’s feeling a bit off-kilter (including children).

WOULD I DO IT AGAIN? Yes. I’d love to fix that solar plexus. ● Seven Points Holistic Healing 4/325 Centre Arcade, Centre Road, Bentleigh, 0408 375 961 sevenpoints.com.au

(ISTOCK)

The reality We start by chatting about my health. Seven Points’ owner Justine explains that we each have seven chakras, extending from the crown of our head to the base of our spine. If our chakras become blocked, our life force can’t flow properly. Reiki is intended to unblock this flow. I learn that reiki is a Japanese practice made famous last century by Mikao Usui (although using hands to heal is an ancient tradition). “I want people to know,” says Justine, “that reiki isn’t all crystals and purple velvet.” I lie on a massage table with a blanket over my body while Justine works her magic. Reiki is mostly non-contact, so I can’t feel much but I’m aware that her hands are getting hot as they move over my body – a they soak up my energy, apparently. Afterwards, Justine tells me she was drawn to my solar plexus. I go home and Google the heck out of this.

ROAD TRIP

GETTING THERE Coldstream, at the gateway to the Yarra Valley, is 46 kilometres north-east of Melbourne.

Y A R R A VA L L E Y

TRAILBLAZERS HIT THE VALLEY THE Q7 @ OAKRIDGE

(CHRIS KERR \ SUPPLIED)

here’s something nostalgic about road trips; a familiar sway of the road, whirring wheels, trees and hills rushing by. My childhood weekends were spent napping between wineries and towns as my parents explored the countryside in our puce-hued station wagon. The only “tech” back then was the “tech-nique” of winding down the windows - a whole shouldered affair. Fast-forward 15 years and I still spend most weekends road-tripping, often to wineries, but cars have come a long way. Today I’m in an Audi Q7, a seven-seater sofa on wheels, which would be perfect for 2.3 kids, a dog and a set of golf clubs in the back, comfortably pulling into school zones on leafy Melbourne streets. But, in the absence of 2.3 kids, I’m taking this baby off-road. Winding through the Black Spur, getting lost on “short-cuts” up a dirt track (and down again), through the vines of the Yarra Valley. Things have changed in the Yarra Valley. Dining offerings have expanded significantly, with tree-changing food-lovers bringing city sensibilities, opening chic places such as Herd Cafe & Bar in Healesville (the eggplant chips!) and upping the fine-dining game with Ezard @ Levantine Hill. There’s still the sense of tradition, of course. Wandering downstairs at Chateau

SHOP LOCAL

Yering Historic House Hotel feels like you’ve stepped into a 19th-century painting. Sleeping arrangements are equally themed, with claw-foot baths and french-doored balconies opening to morning views of misty hills. At Seville Estate, winemaker Dylan McMahon honours his grandfather Dr Peter McMahon’s memory with a barrel of wine (the “Dr McMahon”) using original plantings from the ’70s. Dylan had planned on being an electronic engineer before the lees in his blood lured him back, so he’s keener than most to see what the Q7 can do. So soon we’re climbing the slick red mud of the adjoining vineyard, visions of the insurance excess flashing before my eyes. In a blink, the Audi’s Quattro system engages and smoothly delivers us to the tip of the vines. I reach the crest. “Put the hill descent on!” cries Dylan with glee and the car guides itself down without a hitch. The future! But it’s the future of the valley that is most exciting, with trailblazers cropping up everywhere. There’s sustainably sourced caviar at multi-award-winning Yarra Valley Caviar, where Nick Gorman and Mark Fox (Gormo and Foxy to anyone who spends more than a minute with them) are cultivating salmon and trout that each year are naturally anaesthetised with clove oil, then massaged by hand to expel their

Fresh things are afoot also at Yarra Valley Dairy, where chief cheese-maker Jack Holman has applied skills he built up around the globe to help turn this into one of Victoria’s most established dairies. One of Jack’s creations, a gin-infused hard cheese, uses the by-product botanicals from Four Pillars Gin, innovators in their own right and a recent addition to the Yarra Valley landscape. This spirit of collaboration is a feature of the region. Jack has also helped the young chefs at Oakridge – Matt Stone and Jo Barrett – get acquainted with the local delights that abound. Oakridge’s Forager dinner, the result of a week’s worth of hunting and gathering, is a revelation, featuring dishes such as fiddlehead fern with honey and sheep’s sorrel, roadside greens, cured venison on edible pepperberry skewers and an absolutely divine dessert of macadamia, juniper and cumquat. A perfect finale to our trip, this meal is a glimpse into the future of the valley, if not the future of food, encapsulating sustainability, provenance and collaboration. ● ALICE IN FRAMES aliceinframes@theweeklyreview.com.au

he west side of Melbourne’s CBD is becoming the must-visit luxury destination, having undergone a glamorous transformation in the past few years. Designer shops, trendy cafes, bars and new office buildings have begun to emerge, calling the area, including Spencer Street, home. Nearby, the Docklands, with its sweeping waterfront views, and Etihad Stadium – home to major sporting, music and entertainment events – are adding to the revitalisation of the area. The west side of the CBD is already being touted as the Manhattan end of town, likened to one of New York’s most exclusive areas. But could it possibly become Melbourne’s new Paris end? This question could be answered with the newest arrival to Melbourne’s CBD – West Side Place: a glamorous new apartment development at 250 Spencer Street – the former site of The Age newspaper – which will feature 2600 luxury apartments underneath the equally glamorous Ritz-Carlton hotel. The hotel will be a first for Melbourne, not only because it’s the first time the Ritz-Carlton will have a Melbourne address. It is also set to become the tallest (and

elina Bagnato leapt into the limelight when she first appeared on Channel Seven’s My Kitchen Rules in 2013. These days she works as a personal stylist (stylemeover.com) and speaker. She lives in a two-storey home in Patterson Lakes with her husband Scott and children, Jordyn, 4, and Harvey, 19 months. The house is filled with sentimental photographs, ornaments and artwork (such as a zebra print from Kmart). Melina loves the open living space and curved stairwell to a central atrium. Built in the 1980s, the white house sits on the sandy banks of the lake, which adds to its meditative mood. Melina remembers swimming in a friend’s pool as a teen and wishing she could one day buy a house in the area. Five years later, she bought a home in the same street. “I made a wish and it came true. I put it out there and it happened,” she says. “I love being so close to the lake, it’s really relaxing and a great place to live.” ● JANE ROCCA jrocca@theweeklyreview.com.au

THE BUILD

(SUPPLIED)

eading custom home builder Carter Grange has tailored a luxury double-storey family home specifically to suit Waverley’s new home buyers. The Waverley 57 showcases Carter Grange’s adaptable approach, translating an ideal checklist for Waverley home buyers into a classic family home with an intelligent floor plan and a range of contemporary features. Behind its classic mansion-style facade the Waverley 57 offers five bedrooms all with en suite bathrooms and walk-in wardrobes, three indoor and two outdoor living areas including an expansive family zone and a smartly conceived kitchen with adjoining butler’s pantry. The ground-level bedroom and an adjoining lounge create a welcoming guest apartment within the home. Upstairs, the main bedroom is a sumptuous sanctuary with an enormous walk-in wardrobe and en suite and an idyllic private terrace. The 526-square metre home has an all-inclusive price tag of $675,381 (excluding site costs) for blocks with a minimum 16.05-metre width. Brian and Carole Taylor of Mount Waverley were the first to build the Waverley 57. They wanted to create an elite family home featuring all of the elements most sought after by Waverley families. “We spoke to people who had built their own homes to understand how to build with lasting value. We visited display and open homes and spoke to agents to pinpoint new housing trends in our area and find the best builder. Our local real estate agent was building with Carter Grange and we took his recommendation,” Carole says. Brian says that from day one they haven’t been able to fault Carter Grange.

“Everything we have wanted they have provided. They are approachable and professional. The Carter Grange team led us through the whole process with little stress.” Brian and Carole say they were delighted at the quality of Carter Grange’s standard inclusions but decided to upgrade certain features to achieve an ultimate in luxury such as marble mosaic bathroom splashbacks,

feature tiling, pure wool carpet, 2pac joinery, Miele kitchen appliances, French oak floorboards and 2.74-metre ground-level ceilings. They also added extra conveniences such as a shoe and coat cupboard in the entrance hall and plumbing for an outdoor kitchen with gas barbecue. ● LIZ McLACHLAN lmclachlan@theweeklyreview.com.au

The selling point A luxurious family home with an abundance of stylish design features and a generous floorplan able to accommodate family and visitors.

A SWITCHED-ON MARVEL 117-119 K KOOYONG ROA RO D, CAULFIELD NORTH, 3161

hat this house does with Crema Marfil limestone, granite and onyx makes traditionally favoured marble seem so yesterday. What it promises outside is enviable entertaining with negligible upkeep. The technology is a case of “hello next century”, while interior design by Rina Cohen catapults family living into the uber-stylish category. The house was built for the owners and no expense was spared. High fencing on both street frontages of the double corner block of about 1163 square metres means the site is secluded. A major slice of the northern land area is dedicated to artificial lawn, a pool and an indoor/ outdoor terrace. Entry to the property shows off the sophisticated security (closed-circuit TV and an alarm). The facade offers clean-lined simplicity, while sandstone pavers cut a path to the tall, timber front door. The interior looks like a gallery but closer inspection reveals function to be as satisfying as form. Ceilings soar over heated Crema Marfil floor tiles. Bespoke American oak storage appears at every turn. Lighting is both bold and subtle, with the dining-room chandelier

MELBOURNE’S BEST

PROPERTIES

creating a glamorous focus and fittings in the open-plan area disappearing into wall cavities when not in use. The Bang & Olufsen sound system keeps the beats coming inside and out, and automation peaks on the terrace – where the roof retracts hydraulically and bistro walls drop at the touch of a button. Sweeping lounge and dining areas, open-plan kitchen, meals and living areas, a family room, study, two powder rooms, laundry, bathroom and the garage make up ground level. There’s a second kitchen beyond the laundry door. The first powder room has a peachy-onyx wall. The fitted study opens to a bamboo copse. As most of the north side of the house is glazed, social areas revel in light. Dual staircases link ground level with the first floor, where a bridge connecting the front and rear wings offers visions of the living spaces below. Occupying the front wing, the main suite has a wardrobe-lined dressing room, an en suite with spa-jet shower, a built-in bed bracketed by drawers, and glass doors that open to a balcony. ● KAY KEIGHERY property@theweeklyreview.com.au

Built in 1986, this fabulous entertainer makes the most of its outdoors; it is surrounded by low-maintenance gardens and no fewer than three decks. Laser-cut steel artwork adorns the brick facade, with the entrance (and one car spot) shielded from the elements by a shade sail. There are two large bedrooms off the entrance hall. The main has stacker doors to the front deck and a built-in wardrobe leading to an earth-toned en suite. There’s also a fitted study and a powder room off the entrance. Then it’s a step up to the expansive living zone at the heart of the house. The dark-tiled dining area has bifold doors to one of the decks. The stone kitchen has Miele appliances, a central island bench and a laundry to one side, as well as a picture window that frames a view of a towering tree. This space drops down to a sunken lounge with wheat-coloured carpet, a bay window, wood heater and exposed-brick chimney breast. Two more bedrooms share a shower room, and there’s a bungalow out the back with a separate workshop. Zoned for McKinnon Secondary College, this property is a winner for families. ● STEPHEN A.

Bentleigh East is fast becoming the destination of choice for families looking to branch out. This three-bedroom weatherboard villa at the back of a block shows how much can be done with a smart layout. Rich-hued hardwood floors catch the light from a wall of glass punctuated by stacker doors in the open-plan living area, which forms the house’s hub. A horseshoe-shaped kitchen has flecked, pale stone worktops, a stainless-steel Smeg oven and a four-burner stovetop. There’s a picture window to daydream out of while you’re prepping meals. The separate laundry is opposite. All three bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and there are two bathrooms, the larger with an angular, fan-shaped bath in front of a large bubbled-glass window. The main bedroom also has its own little nook with a tall window looking on to a deck in the north-east-facing backyard. The garden has a stretch of lawn and a paved area with access to the single garage. Buses and Bentleigh station are handy. ● STEPHEN A. RUSSELL

New rules apply to the advertising of dogs and cats for sale. It is now an offence to advertise the sale of a dog or cat unless the microchip identification number of the animal is included in the advertisement or notice.
