WOOLLOOMOOLOO, NSW
PERTH, WA
Let there be light A Perth home designed by the architect Andrew Boughton has been listed for sale. William Porteous Properties International agent Olivia Porteous is expecting offers in the mid $5 millions. Peppermint Grove sees around three or four sales per year over the $5 million mark. The biggest in recent times was achieved in late 2017 when a 2007-built home sold for $11 million – the fifth highest house sale the suburb has seen. The latest state of the art Peppermint Grove home listing on the Swan River southwest of the Perth CBD was built in 2012 and last sold for $4.8 million in 2018. Designed to capture the river views, the three-level home with clean lines was built to maximise the northern light. Bi-fold doors open from the open plan living and dining area, where there’s a marble, gas pebble fireplace, to a resort-style heated pool. The north-facing alfresco area includes a large Beefeater Barbecue set in to a honed marble bench. The kitchen features a cantilevered Calacatta marble dining bar, Gaggenau and Miele appliances, and an under-bench wine fridge. Downstairs is a theatre room with motorised screen and a 900-bottle temperature-controlled wine cellar. Linking the ground and top level, where the four bedrooms are located, is a glass and marble staircase. A six-person lift runs to all three levels.
Designer renovation A vast Woolloomooloo Wharf apartment on the harbourside landmark has been listed for sale following a designer renovation. Marketed as a penthouse-style residence, the near 300sq m Finger Wharf apartment has been refurbished by Fleming Design. The open plan layout, with a series of living and entertaining areas, is flanked by large sliding windows to maximise water views. New herringbone oak floors feature throughout the living spaces, and the four bedrooms have European sisal carpet. There is a master suite with dressing room and ensuite with double shower, steam room and jacuzzi. A guest suite has a walk-in robe and ensuite. A new Caesarstone island kitchen is in the heart of the open plan living and dining area, and the space comes with a home cinema. Ray White TRG agent Gavin Rubinstein has a guide of $11 million, topping the listings of busier recent times. Finger Wharf vendors have secured 24 sales over 2019 and 2020 combined, compared with 11 over the two previous years.
RED HILL, VIC
Langhaus, a recently completed home on the Mornington Peninsula, is for sale. The 4.3 hectare Red Hill South property sold for $2.07 million in 2017 when it was a modest 1950s farm cottage. Now there is a Scandinavian-style home with four bedrooms and three bathrooms. The open plan living and dining area meets a striking stone kitchen with butler’s pantry. The room opens to a covered alfresco dining deck and pool. There’s also a separate building with garage, workshop, guest bedroom and multipurpose loft space. RT Edgar Mornington Peninsula agents Paul Armstrong and Michael Parker have a guide of $11 million to $12 million, which would make it the second property in the small Red Hill South locale to break the $10 million mark. The first was a Stephen Akehurst-designed Callanans Road home that sold for $16 million in 2018. 10
