on’t tell me we all have to dress in flapper style now? I am always bewildered by the fashion wave created by some new movie tossed like a stone into the pond of popular culture. Often it’s just a wavelet that wets your feet and draws quickly away (Bo Derek’s hair braids from 10, anyone?). Sometimes the moment defines an entire generation, as Diane Keaton did in mismatched suits, vests and ties in Annie Hall, but often these little style surges persist in the most aggravating way. It really was only Madonnna – and only back then – who could pull off the op-shop, sex-pot look of Who’s That Girl, but it didn’t stop a generation of young women, my contemporaries I must confess, sloping about in ra-ra skirts and torn tulle for much longer than good sense or style would suggest. Now, courtesy of Baz Luhrmann’s flashy new version of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby, we’re all going to get around in drop-waisted skirts, headbands and ropes of pearls. Oh, and yards of (product-placed) Tiffany diamonds … if you can afford them. It’s a funny thing, how the unreal world of cinema

$5.2M school rebuild boost for blackburn education
Blackburn Primary School will be rebuilt, after the state government announced a $5.2 million upgrade last Wednesday. Premier Denis Napthine was the king of the kids when he made the surprise announcement in front of about 450 students at a school assembly. The government’s funding pledge exceeded the $3.8 million commitment made by Mitcham MP Dee Ryall before the 2010 election. Most of the school’s existing buildings will now be demolished, and new buildings will include an administration centre, classrooms and resource centre to house the school’s library. Dr Napthine said the new buildings would make Blackburn PS “one of the best schools anywhere in Australia”. “It has a terrific history, but some of its buildings are past their use-by date,” he said. “The challenge for [the government] is to provide new schools in the growing suburbs … but [also to] provide funding for refurbishment and renovation for schools like Blackburn.” Dr Napthine toured the school’s sustainability garden and chatted with prep students during his visit.

Henderson said the announcement was “one of the best” moments of her 15-year tenure at the school. She expected the works to be completed by the end of next year. Ms Henderson said the school council had lobbied the government for about five years, and had finalised a master plan for the redevelopment in February 2011. “The results the school has achieved have allowed our enrolments to remain steady despite run-down facilities, but from here on in the new facilities will make the school a more attractive proposition for families,” she said. Until last week, questions remained over whether the government would pay for the upgrade because Blackburn Primary School works were not listed in the state budget. A partial list of additional schools to receive funding was released, but Blackburn was not included. \ KRISTIAN SILVA ksilva@theweeklyreview.com.au

hi-tech tablets to aid stroke recovery health
Stroke patients could have a faster, easier recovery with an initiative being developed by Eastern Health rehabilitation staff. Three staff members from the Peter James Centre in Burwood East received $11,637 from the Eastern Health Foundation this month to develop a home-exercise regime. Occupational therapist Kellie Emmerson and her colleagues Katherine Harding and Anna Joy will use the money to develop a program that uses laptops, tablets and smart phones to create video instructions from therapy staff to streamline home therapy for stroke patients. “Over the course of their rehab, patients get different bits of paper for home exercise – it can get messy and confusing,” she said. “Often they don’t complete exercises or don’t do them accurately.” Stroke patient Colin Chew has visited the Peter James Centre every day for the past three weeks for occupational therapy. He had a stroke that left him with hand and leg damage, and a slight speech impediment. Mr Chew said a tablet or laptop-based home therapy program could save him from having to visit the centre every day. “It takes at least 20 minutes to get here and

Doncaster Police have urged a truck driver who clipped a car driven by an elderly Doncaster resident to come forward. The 90-year-old man and his 82-year-old female passenger were towing a caravan and travelling north on the Maroondah Highway near Yarck on May 15 when they were clipped by the truck. The car and caravan ran off the road and flipped onto their sides. Neither passenger appeared to sustain injuries, but the 90-year-old man’s condition has deteriorated. At the time of going to press, he was in a serious condition in hospital. The truck is described as a green, tipper-style truck with a trailer. \ BUrwooD Two armed masked men who robbed a Burwood milkbar have been described by police as “gutless”.

Senior Detective Passingham said: “We’ve had a bit of a quiet period for local milkbars and because they’re holding less cash, they are usually not the target of these gutless wonders”. \

truck yard noise ‘getting worse’
(steve lightfoot)
More than 100 Vermont residents have signed a petition calling for the council to look at operating hours and noise complaints arising from a McClares Road truck yard. Whitehorse council accepted the petition of 110 signatures and 32 joint letters at an ordinary meeting on May 20. Residents neighbouring the 2a McClares Road truck yard, which backs on to Jackaroo World at 516 Canterbury Road, have requested that the trucks be removed from the residential street. Morack Ward councillor Raylene Carr presented the petition to the council. Residents first approached Cr Carr with their concerns in December. She said residents are affected by the noise of trucks, which come and go at early hours and late at night. “The operation of the truck yard is impacting on the amenity of residents who have been unable to enjoy a decent night’s sleep,” she said. “I have asked residents to try and be patient a little longer.” Cr Bill Bennett said the issue seemed to be getting “worse and worse”. The petition asks that the council restrict operating hours and noise levels. Council officers will prepare a report on the operation of the truck yard. \ BRIDGET FITZGERALD

PSO Mike Howard said it had been a smooth start. “There is a dedicated crew that work here and regular travellers will get to know us,” he said. “It’s a good job and is rewarding and challenging. The best thing is knowing that we’re helping the community.” There are now 362 PSOs patrolling 50 railway stations from 6pm until the last train. The state government allocated $78 million in the recent budget to upgrade stations to support PSOs, and is aiming to deploy 940 officers across the network by 2014. \ KRISTIAN SILVA steven russell & Mike hOward

hat a difference 12 months make. David Jones is on track and things are just about blooming marvellous. Last week the prestigious store celebrated its 175th anniversary with all the panache and sophistication one has come to expect from this Australian institution, and its future is indeed looking bright. “The Melbourne market is a key focus for David Jones in our 175th year,” says the company’s regional manager for Victoria, Lyn James. “We have recently launched the new Highpoint store and are looking forward to the Malvern launch later in the year.” In a competitive and fickle market, David Jones has taken up the challenge to expand, revive and renew retail spaces to give customers that something extra that has become synonymous with the store’s heritage. James says ,“this is something we are very proud of”. David Jones has also had a long tradition of supporting Australian designers and this season is no different. A choice of distinct, fresh and proudly Australian brands fills its floors. The brands featured on these pages are not only the hottest in Australia but are also setting trends that are buzzing around the world. This season, invest in metallics, leather and bold prints. Indulge in jewel tones and beautifully embellished sequinned gems. Keep enjoying your well-tailored jackets, pants, bold colours, peplum pieces (just for another season) but store your sky-high platforms, maxi-printed dresses, cropped jackets and tops, and anything too short and too tight. David Jones is a resilient retail juggernaut; it has gone through multiple changes and has always come up smelling sweet with success. Yes, there have been recent ambassadorial changes, but it makes good business sense to revamp and reinvigorate. After all, retail is an ever-changing beast and you have to tame and cajole it if you want to perform, succeed and inspire. David Jones is doing what comes naturally – reviewing, reinventing and celebrating. Here’s to another 175 years. \ dnaidu@theweeklyreview.com.au

f the gastropub era hit full gait before you had the wherewithal to partake, you have probably been affected by its legacy. Pubs either reinvented their menus, or tried to. Most upped their prices anyway. If you were there wielding your credit card and ordering battered zucchini flowers or aged scotch fillet with boutique beers, the term could make you cringe as you recall debates about the merits of a long wine list and the loss of sticky carpets. And you probably remember O’Connell’s. This South Melbourne hotel was arguably the instigator of Melbourne’s gastropub development and has long upheld the movement’s commitment to revamped pub classics, proper service and an impressive wine offering. It was taken over by its current owners, John and Jimmy Kurtulus and Jon Wooley, last year. The trio also own steakhouse The Railway Club Hotel in Port Melbourne and The Bay Hotel in Mordialloc. The new ownership team, a recent refurbishment, a changed chef line-up and an expanded menu make it worthy of fresh attention. Young chefs Xavier Mercader, who has come from The Railway, and New Zealander Luke Van de Engel are sharing the head chef role. Their menu features gastropub classics – beer-battered trevally, veal schnitzel and eye fillet with vine-roasted tomatoes from the wood grill – but there’s an international bent that comes from Mercader’s time at Rockpool and Chocolate Buddha and his travels through South-East Asia. A strong meat commitment is a reflection of his four years at Railway. Van de Engel, who trained at the Wintec culinary school in Waikato, adds a classic French influence and a passion for pastry. A charcuterie board for two features a top-notch, house-made French country terrine (sometimes made with rabbit meat, sometimes with confit duck). We scored a poultry night and the flavours of sherry vinegar, shallots and tarragon shone through the lovingly cured duck leg. Also superb in taste and texture was a chicken liver parfait (an airy, creamier version that would have been called paté in the early days of the gastropub). The nicely presented timber board also included some house-pickled radishes, carrots and gherkins, a zesty aubergine chutney and a selection of jamón Serrano, wagyu bresaola and prosciutto di Parma from Gamekeepers in Moorabbin. The O’Connell’s pie is a menu stayer that Mercader couldn’t expunge even if he wanted to. It’s been on the menu at the big, white corner pub with its original fireplaces and high ceilings for too long to remove it. It’s damn good anyway. Inside there’s osso buco is braised in Guinness for 14 hours with pieces of porterhouse and eye fillet. The protein is rendered to a luxuriant texture and its pastry topping is layered, light and flaky. It looks a little bland beside a mound of verdant crushed peas and a dollop of airy mashed potato, but that fits the pub part of the gastro label. International elements are scattered across the menu – wood-grilled octopus, fried white anchovies, sesame-crusted tuna and squid-ink tagliatelle – but are delivered with a thud in the Aylesbury duck
breast with a date and vegetable tagine, moghrabieh (pearl couscous) and a radicchio and grape salad. There’s a lot going on in this dish and the flavours complement each other, sort of. The rich broth bobs with a medley of dates, okra, pomegranate seeds, green olives, shredded radicchio and sweet red grapes and there’s a side puddle of yoghurt. Two firm-ish pieces of duck meat sit atop their accompaniments and are definitely improved with immersion, but it all might have been better without, at least, the olives. The Andean-spiced chicken with potato tortilla, almond coleslaw and gumbo sauce still beckons. The wine list is middlebrow, just long enough and includes a good international mix, plus a serviceable selection by the glass. There are about a dozen beers on tap, delivered via pot, schooner or pint. Service has mostly been praised here over the years, but it was nothing short of spot-on during a medium-busy Sunday night: charming, helpful, attentive and fun. It did taper a little (about 9pm) as tables were busily rearranged for the following day. Luckily we were distracted by the excellent tarte tartin for two. Its richly caramelised fruit had the desired almost-burnt finish and was highlighted by fine buttery and just-flaky pastry. A slowly melting orb of rich honey ice-cream rounded out the flavours to perfection, adding a hint of sweetness. Apparently it’s about to go off the menu. Get in quick. \ ltolra@theweeklyreview.com.au To rEad morE rEviEws
TarTE TarTiN THE iNsidE The charcoal wainscoting is a bit country, the patterned tiles add a touch of retro and the functional timber and velour furnishings fit in somewhere around the late ’90s. What gives this 137-year-old pub its thoroughly modern mood is a radiant electric and gas fireplace, TV screens installed in bar seating and austere caged bottle racks suspended around the bar (probably the feature most likely to date). The overall impression is one of minimal pretension and understated elegance, where past and present sit together comfortably in leather-upholstered booths. \

The vineyard produces three types of grapes with nine products made from the cabernet variety, including the award-winning cabernet sauvignon, the 2012 cabernet blanc, the delicious dessert wine ice cabernet, and their homemade cabernet jelly. The next experiment will be cabernet cordial for kids. Owned by Colin Spencer and his wife Glenys, the winery is open every weekend. Visitors can sample the fine wines and bring
a picnic to share in the grounds – there is no charge for using the barbecues or facilities. Alternatively they can buy one of Glenys’ delectable lemonade scones, cakes, jellies or preserves to enjoy with freshly prepared tea or coffee. On June 15 and 16, Redbox will be part of Winter Winefest, when it will release its new vintage wines from 2012 and 2013, with the long-awaited return of the estate riesling and an exceptional chardonnay. \

going native Melbourne winemaker Adam Foster, who produces wines under the Syrahmi and Foster e Rocco labels, has been making wine in Languedoc-Rousillon’s Coillure appelation near the border with Spain for the past five years. The opportunity came about by accident. Foster was supposed to be helping out in the northern Rhône valley with a highly regarded French aDaM FOSter winemaker, when timing and bad weather lured him south. “In 2008 I was working at (restaurant) 312 as sommelier and Pierre Gaillard rang me up and asked if I’d like to help out in the northern Rhône. I went over there but arrived a month before vintage and he suggested I head down south and help out there,” says Foster. “Due to bad weather and a poor vintage in the north, I ended up staying there and loving it – so I asked if I could buy some grenache.” Five years on, Foster is in France blending L’Imposteur wines from the 2012 vintage.

concerned and many top producers from the north are buying land in the region. French winemakers have told me they make wine in the region because it sets them free from the rigid laws that govern winemaking in areas such as Burgundy and Hermitage. This allows some to follow a dream by making wine from a grape they are passionate about, while others are diversifying and adding cheaper brands to their portfolios. Thanks to the vin de pays classification, it’s open slather on the different grapes that can be grown in the Languedoc. The new world’s favourite grapes, such as chardonnay, sauvignon blanc and merlot, are represented among the region’s traditional grapes The of marsanne, rolle french look down (vermentino), grenache and carignan. on country There’s more to wines Languedoc-Rousillon than its Pays d’Oc wines. It also has 18 appellations, which have incredible resources of old vines – many vineyards were planted more than 100 years ago – something that’s rarely found in France’s more exclusive regions.

f you’ve browsed the French wine aisles at your local wine merchant, chances are you’ve seen, or bought, wines labelled Pays d’Oc. You may have even wondered what the term meant – I know I have. The two words tell us that the wine is a vin de pays – a “country wine”, which is a level above table wine, or vin de table, in French wine hierarchy – and the K) OC d’Oc indicates it’s from the vast Languedoc-Roussillon region in south-west France. The French are said to look down on the country wines as being inferior to the appellation contrôlée (AOC) class of wines, such as Bourgogne and Côtes du Rhône, which place strict controls on the way wines can be made and the grapes that may be grown in many French regions. Ignore the honest, often cheap, Pays d’Oc wines at the peril of your drinking pleasure, I say. Languedoc-Rousillon, spanning the Mediterranean coast from the Spanish border through Perpignan and Montpellier to Nîmes, and with 283,300 hectares under vine, is the largest wine region in the world. Travelling through the area, it quickly becomes apparent there isn’t much spare land that’s not planted with vines. It’s France’s final frontier where winemaking is

music Once I Was An Eagle \ Laura Marling (Virgin) » www.lauramarling.com Having won mass appeal with her previous album, Laura Marling has turned away from its fleshed out, full-band approach in favour of minimalist, fireside tunes. There’s a boldness in such downsizing. While Master Hunter is a joyous, bluesy racket, on tracks such as Where Can I Go? the listener has to work to unearth delicate – and ultimately memorable – melodies. But what emerges from the quiet is a new, almost unsettling intensity. Marling’s voice continues to mature at an alarming rate and her lyrics are more frank than ever. Maybe a move to LA has helped, as here she dissects her awkwardness and romantic failings at unselfconscious length. In the best possible way, listening to the record is a little like being cornered at a party by an ex, who then spends an hour whispering confessions and admonishments in your ear. At 16 tracks, the album is somewhat bloated and, yes, a little samey, but nonetheless suggests Marling still has her best work ahead of her. \ To read more reviews

Happiness Never Comes Alone \ Opens May 30, Rated M, 110 min » www.madman.com.au
Child-phobic Sacha (Gad Elmaleh) is living the bachelor dream, playing jazz all night, sleeping with countless beautiful women and making bucket-loads composing five-second jingles. His easygoing life is threatened when he falls for the unfeasibly clumsy and equally sexy Charlotte (Sophie Marceau), who has three young children and is not entirely separated from her husband (Sacha’s boss). Unusually for a rom-com, there’s never any real dramatic tension between the leads. It’s love at first sight, forever. Difficulties arise from those around them. Sacha comes to terms with vomiting toddlers and ‘coitus kiddus interruptus’; he’s happy to be along for the ride. More intransigent problems come from Charlotte’s ties with her powerful ex. It’s a film about the difficulties in starting a new history when your partner can’t quite leave theirs behind. Endearingly warm, mainstream fare, Happiness Never Comes Alone fuses relationship drama to daft slapstick with such glee that we barely notice the seams. Richard Curtis fans will find something to tide them over until About Time, but the real joy here is the serious chemistry between the leads. \

(SU PP LIE D)
This unsought prequel to Hitchcock’s Psycho is an odd beast. Young Norman Bates and his mother, Norma, have moved to a small town to run a motel, after dad was mysteriously (not very mysteriously, really) murdered. As last week’s debut episode began, it seemed the show might be set in the past. Perhaps this would be horror’s answer to Mad Men? Alas, no. The world is modern, even if our heroes appear to be from the 1950s, spending evenings listening to vinyl LPs and watching Cary Grant films. We can’t tell whether Norman is a hipster or a nerd. Neither, it seems can the local, improbably hot girls, who instantly and unaccountably shove Norman into their sports car and drive him off to a fashionable party. They even think it cute that he spent the whole night standing in the kitchen, leering at them and listening to Radiohead. As we discovere, Norman’s key relationship is with his murderous, sensuous and jealous mother. Things quickly turn weird and vaguely incestuous, as the pair bond while dumping a body out at sea. On the evidence of the first two episodes, Bates Motel is pretty awful, but is it awful enough? Its survival will likely depend on whether it stops taking itself seriously. Right now, it lurches from daftness to blackness. Last week’s brutal rape scene was appalling for all the wrong reasons. (The offender was so cartoonishly evil that it was a bit like watching Skeletor commit a sex crime.) Still, there’s potential for the show to go quickly and gloriously off the rails. With a few tweaks and a bit less sexual violence, things could become very Twin Peaks. \

Living Rooms: Trends And Tradition by Piet Swimberghe, photos by Jan Verlinde » $99 (Lannoo)
Queen Alice’s Palaces by Juliette MacIver and Lucia Masciullo » $24.99 (ABC Books)
Whether you agree with Entertainment Weekly’s pronouncement that David Sedaris is “the pre-eminent humourist of his generation”, there is no denying the appeal of this new paperback collection of autobiographical essays. Sedaris gathers his thoughts and anecdotes loosely around the theme of travel, although expect many digressions along the way. Family, friends and possessions enter and exit stage left and right, including the drunk on the Chicago-bound train, a duck-eating kookaburra, and Costco visits to remember. \
It’s more than a decade since savvy interior designers and architects expelled the dining room from the everyday floorplan. In this beautiful new hardcover, Belgian journalist and interiors writer Piet Swimberghe travels around the world capturing what he considers to be the next emerging trend: living room as multitasking, communal area. Smaller domestic spaces, more people working from home, the disappearing dining area, living room-as-entrance hall and entertainment space – these and other factors have changed our view of the traditional sitting room. How, then, to decorate? Read on! \
“Now, Queen Alice had flair, and a whimsical streak, and the thought of a palace entirely unique thrilled her so much, by the end of the week she had built one all out of bamboo.’’ Trying to fulfill the pesky Sir Hugh’s desire for a palace upgrade, Queen Alice plays architect with bamboo, wool, ice – even cheese – in an attempt to build an original home. Kevin McCloud and Vogue Living it’s not, but little readers will be highly amused by the innovative Alice and her antics. \

y friend Don produces a car club magazine and he can’t spell to save himself. He always mixes the double and single-r in Ferrari and cannot accept that there are no double letters in Maserati. And while he always gets the Romeo correct, he tends to spell the first word Alpha. It’s Alfa, of course, for Anonima Lombarda Fabbrica Automobili. He never misses Subaru and I asked him how he manages this. Simple, he said, backwards in text speak Subaru is “u r a bus”. Could he spell continuously variable transmission? It’s one of the big features of the new Forester (he always uses a double r in Forester, by the way). The other one, X-mode, should prove less challenging. The continuously variable auto is a nicely progressive transmission seldom caught out and pleasingly economical with the 2.5-litre motor. It also makes for a flexible car, and works better than the bulk of conventional autos they’re putting in SUVs these days, the ones that change down so early the motor is on the point of labouring. And X-mode is essentially a computer program balancing load, torque and road conditions to give the best grip possible. It’s something you notice on dirt roads (where it works nicely) and also in tight, hard cornering where the Forester displays surprising grip for something of its weight and height. Foresters have always been flexible cars that you can drive off-road with confidence.

his newly built house keeps faith with the streetscapes of a neighbourhood in which many houses, old and new, are built of weatherboard. It is in a neighbourhood where renovations, rebuilding and new buildings are all in the works. Yet within this redevelopment landscape, the majority of houses here retain the undeniable charm of weatherboards. It’s as if residents in this corner of Mitcham like the look of weatherboard and take pride in keeping it as a defining character in the area. This one-year-old weatherboard house is packed with features that meet the expectations of today’s house buyers, in particular buyers in the market for a family home. “The house is about 36 squares (about 334 square metres) under-roof, including the garage,” the vendor says. “We take a lot of pride and time in our work. We knew what we wanted and have not cut any corners building this house.” House construction was overseen by a family member who is an owner-builder with many such projects under his belt, the vendor says. “This is a very comfortable home in a great neighbourhood.” The house’s north-facing front door is in stylish black, with 2pac finish, to define the entry point into this neat, white house with its silver roof. Internal walls, doors, plantation shutters and windows are also white, providing the perfect foil for the warm tones of spotted gum floors in the downstairs rooms. The three main areas downstairs are a living/dining area at the front of the house, an open-plan kitchen/family room opening to the rear deck and garden, and the main bedroom suite that also looks out to the rear garden. An open-ended wall, with built-in storage cabinets, separates the living/ dining room from the kitchen. The modern kitchen is demarcated by cabinetry (including floating display and storage cupboards, and soft-closing under-bench drawers) along the eastern wall of the house and a long island bench, measuring 90 centimetres by three

metres, running parallel to it. This is a CaesarStone kitchen with a free-standing 90-centimetre Smeg oven (with six burners) incorporated into the scheme. A corner pantry, wall shelving for a microwave oven and plumbing for the fridge are part of the kitchen design. A linear, fixed-pane window looks out to the side garden, which has a trellis waiting to be planted to provide a green screen along the side fence. A similar window is set above the family area of this open-plan room to bring in more natural light, while bi-fold glass doors extend the room to the large merbau deck overlooking the back garden. The spacious main bedroom also overlooks the back garden through awning windows and glass doors. This is a big bedroom (large enough for two double beds) with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite, which has twin sinks and a double shower. A laundry (with storage cupboard and built-in cabinetry) and a powder room complete the downstairs plan. Three bedrooms, a rumpus room, a bathroom and separate powder room are upstairs, making this zone a private retreat for teenagers. Wool carpets have been laid in all the upstairs rooms. This house has all the features of a contemporary family home, combining open-planned space with zoned living, a stylish kitchen with an island bench that is as good looking as it is practical, loads of storage space and a big outdoor deck. The stand-alone studio in the back garden could be put to various uses: art or hobby room, play room for children, or a home office. This is a house that is ready to become a home. It is close to the play areas in Simpson Park, is within walking distance of the Mitcham train station, has easy access to EastLink and is close to schools and shops. \ SIEW-CHING GOH property@theweeklyreview.com.au

BOx hill SOUTh \ 23 DEVON StREEt Young families will love this smartly updated single-level weatherboard house in a quiet tree-lined street. Over the past five years, the vendors have transformed their three-bedroom house into a contemporary family haven. The spacious living area features an open fireplace, a large alcove with a fitted study and the plantation shutters and dark-stained floorboards that also feature in much of the home. It flows into a spacious kitchen with north-facing glass sliders, where the vendors have created a light-filled hub for family life and entertaining. CaesarStone benchtops, a large island bench, 2pac joinery, glass splashbacks and a Smeg induction cooktop and underbench oven all add to the update. The tiled bathroom has twin above-counter basins, a walk-in shower with frameless glass screen and deep spa bath. The bedrooms are fitted with shelving and built-in wardrobes for the children and a deep walk-in wardrobe for the parents. At the rear of the house is a large family room with multi-paned glass sliders opening to a full-width north-facing covered rear deck, with the laundry and powder room alongside. A brick drive runs from an immaculate front garden along one side of the level 587-square-metre block to a rear double garage, creating off-street parking for up to seven cars. \ liZ MclAcHlAN

A tidy garden of roses and shrubbery adds to the initial appeal of this 1950s-built yellow-brick, three-bedroom house. However, its mid-century façade belies a modern fitout within. Recent renovations revealed the original hardwood floors, which are now buffed and polished. A huge deck was built around the north-eastern corner of the house, and can be accessed via concertina doors in the lounge, providing the perfect indoor/outdoor space for entertaining. The elevated deck wraps right around the back of the house. An enclosed bit of deck houses a private spa; no need to worry about prying eyes here. Below the deck is a backyard lined with magnolia trees on one side, and a flowering gum on the other. Mottled timber cabinetry creates warmth in the kitchen, which has a breakfast bar and modern appliances. Three bedrooms line the house’s western wall, each with their own built-in wardrobe. The main has an en suite, while the other two share the main bathroom, decked out in happy, beach-themed tiles. \ lexi cottee

Built by the vendor on a 492-square-metre corner block, this three-bedroom single-level brick house offers modern, low-maintenance living within a five-minute walk of Mitcham Road shops and buses. Its contemporary layout offers separate living areas with an open-plan lounge and dining area and combined family living, meals and kitchen. An island bench forms a hub in the tiled family living zone, where dark benchtops contrast with white joinery and splashbacks in the kitchen, which also has a walk-in pantry and stainless-steel European appliances. The main bedroom has large, north-facing windows, and a walk-in wardrobe and en suite; there are two more bedrooms, each with a built-in wardrobe. The family bathroom includes a bath and shower, with an adjacent powder room. The double remote-controlled garage and workshop has an internal entry near the laundry, with an external door to a patio. The family and formal living zones both open to a large north-facing terrace edged by lawn and manicured shrubs. \ LIZ McLACHLAN
Only a few relics remain of the modest 1970s-built house that once stood at this address. Extensive renovations carried out about 10 years ago transformed what was once a single-level house into a sprawling, double-storey villa. The façade is dominated by an elevated entrance leading to glass-inlaid timber front doors, protected from the elements by a portico upheld by columns. A curved wall of glass bricks is a striking feature in the entrance. The social areas downstairs are all open-plan, and branch off a huge family room that plays host to a full-sized billiards table. A granite-topped bench encloses the kitchen, which overlooks a landscaped backyard with its own rotunda. Three bedrooms line the eastern wall downstairs, one considerably larger than the others; it has an en suite. There are three more bedrooms upstairs, and a landing large enough to be used as a sitting room. Two identically sized bedrooms are split by a shared bathroom, while the main bedroom across the hall has its own en suite with a huge corner spa bath. \ LexI Cottee
