SATURDAY 7PM 18 The weekly review \ December 8, 2010

umerous trips to Europe provided the inspiration for this French-style house. Set in glorious grounds with a frontage to the Plenty River, the rendered-brick steel-framed house is one of four luxurious houses in an exclusive enclave known as Plenty Views. The original weatherboard house, once the sole residence on the entire 1.6-hectare site, is also part of this relatively new gated community. The grand 18-month-old house, which could have been plucked from the French countryside, is at the end of a meandering drive. It is set on 2800 square metres of land. Gardens replete with English oaks and spruce trees give way to indigenous grasses and trees by the riverbank. You might be 25 minutes’ drive from the city on the

freeway, but you would never know it. There is no traffic noise, but plenty from the birds. This is the country house you can have without leaving the suburbs. Amazing views stretch to the horizon, past the Yarra Walking Trail and the Heidelberg Golf Course on the other side of the the river. The French influence comes from the terracottarendered walls set beneath the grey, steeply gabled roofline and sweet white-framed dormer windows peeping out from the roof. Inside, however, the house is spacious, smart and contemporary with clean, uncluttered lines and no folksy décor. All rooms are large; interiors are neutral with a predominantly mocha-and-white colour palette. A formal lounge at the front of the house combines a contemporary gas log fireplace with a hand-cut and sanded timber mantelpiece sourced from an old church. Also off the entry hall is the staircase that leads to the first floor. A spacious main bedroom with a built-in dressing table on one wall and its generous en suite has views over the garden. Its room-sized walk-in wardrobe includes storage for everything from shoes to handbags. Like every room in this house, lights in the walk-in wardrobe respond to motion sensors. Switches are a thing of the past. The open-plan kitchen, which overlooks the living room and informal meals area, is the hub of the house. Two sets of aluminium-framed glass doors open to a broad timber deck and capture the huge views over the river and golf course. A toughened-glass balustrade

VIEWBANK

“AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING HOME BUILT TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS WITH EVERY CONCEIVABLE AMENITY.” WALTER ORTNER – AGENT frames the deck, where another surprise is the infinity-edged swimming pool and spa at the end of this al fresco space. In the kitchen, CaesarStone benchtops combine with traditional laminate surfaces. There are two island benches: one, which acts as a preparation bench, is only a couple of steps from the cooktop and ovens. A second island bench with curved edge and overhead lighting is designed to be used as a breakfast bar. Off the kitchen, the butler’s pantry has excellent storage and work space. A glass splashback forms a half-wall behind the stove and allows the cook to interact with guests in the formal dining room on the other side of the kitchen. Past the dining room, an office or study has its own separate entrance making it an ideal “work from home” setting. From the study, a staircase leads to the home theatre or retreat, where exposed steel trusses give an idea of the strength of the house. Like most rooms, the retreat has views over the garden. From the retreat, it’s past the wet bar and onto a mocha-tiled bathroom that forms the en suite for one of three upstairs bedrooms. Two more bedrooms with deep window sills and pretty dormer windows share another big bathroom. The teenagers’ retreat near these bedrooms has all the studwork in place if a wall is needed to create another bedroom. This house offers flexible living spaces and plentiful accommodation in a romantic countryside setting with all the advantages of city living. \

14 KILOMETRES NORTH-EAST OF THE CBD Viewbank had a population of 6614 at the 2006 census. The Yarra River and large tracts of Yarra Valley parkland run along one border of the suburb. It was once a farming area and is named after a farming property built at the junction of the Yarra and Plenty rivers in the 1840s. Historic silos on Banyule Road recall the area’s farming past. The Plenty River forms Viewbank’s eastern boundary while the northern boundary is defined by Lower Plenty Road. Viewbank has 12 parks, covering nearly 43 per cent of its total area. They include Banyule Flats (with one of Melbourne’s largest intact wetlands), Viewbank Reserve, Price Park and Castleton Park. Viewbank Primary School and Viewbank College are its two public schools. Winter Olympic gold medallist Alisa Camplin and Olympic runner Tamsyn Lewis both attended Viewbank Primary School.

BUCKINGHAM, 9435 0999 38 Beaconsfield Road Price: $490,000 + Auction: December 11 at 11am

Some houses just need a little love. This 1950s three-bedroom weatherboard was crying out for some TLC when the current owners came along. Four months and a serious renovation later, the house is among the prettiest on the street. The front rooms have lost none of their original charm. The lounge has a funky stone-clad fireplace and beautifully restored decorative ceilings and cornices. The main bedroom has a new en suite and large picture windows looking out to the neat front yard. Nothing here has been done cheaply for a quick resale. There are real timber floorboards throughout and the kitchen, off the meals hub, has CaesarStone benches and stainless steel Whirlpool appliances, including a dishwasher. Two more bedrooms have large built-in wardrobes and share a bathroom. Out back, the new merbau deck is the ideal place to watch the kids play. This family-friendly gem, which includes a single carport and weatherboard shed, is a few steps away from Briar Hill Primary School. \ 20 The weekly review \ December 8, 2010

PLENTY 5

The Christmas lights aren’t the only reason to head to Ivanhoe’s most famous street this December. One of The Boulevard’s premier properties is on the market for the second time since it was built in the 1930s. With its flat roof and curved walls, this threestorey clinker-brink house is a stunning example of Art Deco architecture. But its finest virtue is undoubtedly the view across Wilson Reserve and the Yarra to the mountains in the distance. That’s why the house was designed to ensure this vista was the centrepiece of every single room – well, with the exception of the laundry. The house towers high above The Boulevard on a sloped 631-square-metre block, but is best accessed from Scotts Parade on the property’s north-west side. Enter via a walk-bridge or the sunken forecourt bordered by age-old elms. Inside, the treetop views demand attention. The current owners lined the first floor with floor-to-ceiling windows to make the most of the property’s best feature. But they wisely resisted the temptation to gut the space; it remains a partially open set of three living rooms. Down below there is a studio with a private entrance ideal for teenagers, but the three best bedrooms are up top. The main bedroom could be either the oversized artist’s studio-style space, which is fitted with a sink, or the central bedroom with its expansive, private balcony. \

Since the developers came to Plenty about eight years ago, residential estates have sprouted among its quiet, rolling hills. Many resemble middle-class brick-veneer suburbia, but then there are those where the feeling is a trifle more elite. This three-year-old cream weatherboard is among the estate’s finest properties. It complements its semi-rural surrounds with a country-homestead aesthetic both inside and out. The five stucco-clad gables and a full-length front verandah make a fitting introduction to vast interiors lined with hardwood floorboards. Living is divided between the front lounge or billiards room and an expansive family hub out the back fitted with a stunning kitchen, which has timber cabinets and black granite benches. The main bedroom, with a Federation-style en suite, is next to a second bedroom or nursery. For the older children, the whole top floor is their domain. Three big bedrooms share a large retreat, study and bathroom. \

The house at 60 St Hellier Street is a bit of a late developer. Since being built in 1910, the property remained a modest single-storey weatherboard cottage for the best part of the 20th century. But in time, the house grew into a rare and fully matured beauty. It stands two storeys high with slate-clad front steps framed by large multipane windows. The simplicity of the design brings to mind a little of Cape Cod or the French countryside, but the house is not out of place on the sleepy, tree-lined streets of Heidelberg Heights. The interiors have a similarly warm yet clean and refreshing aesthetic. Feature leadlight windows tower above a central staircase in the entrance hall. Flanking the stairs are the front sitting room and a study, where a timber ceiling fan and wall cladding add colonial charm. The main living hub has a Heatmaster fireplace with stacked stone surrounds and a kitchen with cherrywood cabinets, CaesarStone benches and a large Smeg oven. A ground-floor bedroom with en suite is ideal for live-in relatives or guests. The main bedroom is upstairs and has dual walk-in wardrobes and a private balcony with city views that can even be enjoyed from the bed. It shares a central bathroom with another large bedroom and a modest nursery. Much like the house, the backyard is full of spaces to hide away or come together. It has a Balinese-style hut, a detached artist’s studio, a large pool and an al fresco dining area. \

PUTTING A VALUE ON THE X-FACTOR OF EMOTION THERE’S no denying that emotion

plays a huge part in the value of a property. Even when valuing land and buildings, it’s not just land dimension and the factual specifications of a house (how many bedrooms or whether it has a double garage, for instance) that determines how much people are prepared to pay. Individuals and markets value property in a way that is not entirely rational. An individual buyer (or couple) places weight on aspects of a property, its location or its “feel”, for instance, that aren’t always easy to pin down. They may pay more because a property reminds them of the home they grew up in or because it has a nice garden view or because it’s near the home of their child’s best friend. Sensible to them, but difficult to account for on a purely factual basis. Then there’s the emotion that moves the whole of the market – known as market sentiment. Someone can be quite happy to spend a certain amount on a property one week, then change their minds because, along with everyone else, they’ve read a negative article in The Australian Financial Review or they’re spooked by a couple of

weeks of interest-rate talk – even though the actual property hasn’t changed. So when buyers, sellers, or agents talk about the X-factor, the price of emotion – exactly what do they mean? And how do you value it? It’s true that you can’t predict with complete certainty the behaviour of an individual buyer or seller in a property exchange. But if you don’t want to overpay for a property then it’s important to have an understanding of what kinds of emotional components are most likely to influence a larger group of people. And while you may not be able to predict with absolute certainty what one person out of 100 is prepared to pay for a house, with experience, it is possible to predict with a high level of confidence how much 70 out of 100 people will pay. If you’re interested in maximising growth when you come to resell a house, it’s the large group you want to appeal to – not the

one in a hundred. The style of a house is one example of an emotional response that, while not completely measurable, can be fairly easily predicted. As we have pointed out previously, people in Melbourne respond more positively to a well-maintained Victorian or Edwardian house than one built after 1940. It’s not just the age of the property – there is something about their look and feel that people like, especially when they have a nice renovation that opens out the back of the house to the garden. Some houses have a sense of light and

logical flow that makes people feel good as soon as they walk through the door and that encourages them to pay more than the bare facts of, for example, “four bedrooms with double garage on 600 square metres of land in Brighton’s Golden Mile” would suggest. It’s not entirely rational, but it’s not too difficult to recognise when you’ve seen as many houses as we have. Another example is the water view. Everyone likes water views, but not all water views are the same. We’ve found that people will generally pay more for land with a water view than without, that they’ll pay even more if they can see breaking waves and even more if they can see sand and waves rather than just waves. And they will pay even more if they can see no other building between them and the water. The fact is that land and building values both have an emotional component. And while it’s not an exact science, you can build your own database of some general laws that apply to emotion. It just takes experience and a bit of an understanding of how humans think. \ MAL JAMES Principal Buyer Advocate 0408 107 988 \ 9804 3133 WE ONLY BUY HOMES www.james.net.au
