ately my inbox has been flooded with LMother’s messages touting: “How to spoil mum this Day” or “What mums really want”.

I’ve been a mother for 16 years and many of my closest friends are mums, so I claim to have some knowledge in this area. And I can tell you for certain what mums don’t want.

We don’t want an electric foot spa, we don’t want a shopping-centre gift card or anything else that screams last-minute panic buy.

So what do we want? How about a little consideration. How about a heartfelt thank you for all the caring and sharing, and for always putting others first. How about putting the milk back in the fridge without being asked, or inquiring, “Hey mum, how are you feeling today?” If there’s a thoughtfully chosen card or a handmade gift, that’s nice too.

If anyone knows what mums want, it’s our cover star Madeleine West who’s had six children in eight years.

She has some sage advice for mums this Mother’s Day: be kind to yourself.

Wise words indeed. ●

PETER WILMOTH meets Madeleine West, actor & mother of six

M

PI

SCOT \ E R C TU

T

HTON G U A MCN

adeleine West has given us some time today, which is no small thing, given she is an actor (famously playing Danielle McGuire in Underbelly), writer and … did Underbelly I mention she has six children under the age of eight?

Did that sentence make you feel tired? Or just awed? Who has six children these days?

The answer is someone who had four children and then in 2014 found herself pregnant with twins. “They were a lovely little surprise,” Madeleine says, smiling.

Did it ever cross her mind to have six? “I didn’t really ever consider having children.

They weren’t necessarily on the horizon.

And they kept coming.”

How did she feel on hearing news of twins? “My jaw dropped and fell on the floor. I immediately thought, ‘How am I going to fit more seats in the car?’”

Madeleine, 38, has now written a book, Six Under Eight, a funny, thoughtful and wise journal that takes us into the joyful and sometimes chaotic world she shares with her husband, chef Shannon Bennett, and their tribe who now range in age from 10 years old to 15 months.

She writes about “the stares in the supermarket car park as I unload one after another, like clowns unfolding from a Mini Minor” and “roasting two whole chickens for dinner, potentially three”.

“I like jotting down my thoughts,” she says of the book’s genesis. “I found when I was pregnant with my twins, I couldn’t sleep and I would spend my nights roaming the house and snacking and doing aimless chores.”

She started writing anecdotes about

8 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ MAY 4, 2016

motherhood, not realising there was a book in it. “[It was] for myself, to be able to look back: ‘Remember when that happened?’” happened?’

The book is a mix of stories from home and notes on parenting. “I’m certainly not an expert, but I’ve had six kids so I’ve had a fair bit of experience at what kids go through at different stages.”

How does she manage it all? “It’s human nature. Once that little person comes into your world, you’ll find you’re able to juggle all sorts of things.

“I’m surprised I manage to fit in everything I want to do in that one day – if I stay focused. That means sometimes I’ll get to the end of that day and say, ‘I haven’t sat down and I’ve eaten nothing but a bag of Jatz all day’.”” Lists help her through, she says.

“Every morning I set the alarm 15 minutes early so I have 15 minutes of quiet time to focus and write my list of goals for the day.

It can be something as simple as labelling a kid’s uniform with something that won’t wash off.

“I keep several lists running around the house, whether it’s what I need to get from the supermarket, what I need to do in the day, what my long-term goals are, what holidays we’d like to take one day. And they are dotted all around the house. Walls, desks – a montage of lists.”

Madeleine grew up in Woodend, north of Melbourne. She was an exceptional student with a hunger to act.

“I always wanted to be an actor. Acting, art or writing.”

Finishing school with excellent marks, she “didn’t want to waste them” so she studied law. “As much as I knew acting was always going to be my end goal, I thought I’d really like to do something that will give me the opportunity to earn money while I’m chasing this illusory entertainment career.”

In her third year at university she scored a role on Neighbours playing Dee Bliss. She deferred the law

degree. After three years she left the series in dramatic fashion: “Dee got married, fell off a cliff, got washed out to sea and was never seen again,” Madeleine says.

She had felt in a rut on Neighbours so she went to Los Angeles and did some stand-up comedy. “I thought, ‘I really need to scare myself again’.

And the scariest thing I could think of was going up on stage as myself and laying myself bare and saying, ‘Here I am, tearing myself open, please laugh’.”

In 2000 she met Shannon Bennett at a function for Jamie Oliver, who was visiting Australia. She was a vegetarian until Shannon “encouraged her back into the world of meat”.

“I had a quail entree,” she says. “It felt like it took about six months to digest but it set me back on the road to meat-eating.”

They shared a cab home from the event.

Then in 2002, while standing on the pavement on Sydney’s Oxford Street on a rainy evening, Madeleine was hit by a bus. She suffered a brain haemorrhage and a fractured skull. “I was thrown quite a distance, landed on my face and skidded along the ground,” she says. “Apart from breaking a bunch of teeth and blowing out all the blood vessels in my eyes, I had a massive scab and big scar. When the doctors let me see myself in the mirror for the first time, my immediate thought was, ‘My acting career is over’ and I was ready to chuck it.

“It was two sex workers who found me and helped me and put tissue paper to my head until the ambulance arrived, and then they disappeared into the night. I did some interviews following my recovery and put it out that I’d really like to thank these women but no one ever came forward.”

In 2008 Madeleine shone in a breakthrough role as underworld figure Tony Mokbel’s girlfriend Danielle McGuire in Underbelly Underbelly.. “I got what I like to think were my first acting plaudits,” she says. “People were able to appreciate that I was capable of more than playing the blonde nymphet with a big smile who’s wearing a bikini for no particular reason.”

She has since taken on other gritty roles, playing a sex worker in Foxtel’s Satisfaction and an ice addict in Seven’s City Homicide.. Later this year she will star in

“I didn’t consider having children.

They weren’t on the horizon. And they kept coming.”

Channel Ten’s much anticipated new drama The Wrong Girl, alongside Jessica Marais, Craig McLachlan and Hamish Blake.

M

adeleine’s book is full of the joy and laughter of family – “My daughter was drinking from the dog’s bowl with a curly straw … is that a problem?” – but there are also shocking and frightening moments. Their seven-year-old daughter slipped over the second-storey balustrade of their home and fell eight metres on to the hardwood floor. She was “sprawled on the floor gasping and contorting”.

“When you enter parenthood, you can be surprised at what you are capable of,” Madeleine says. “I appreciate those stories of women who lift entire cars for their toddler. You suddenly find reservoirs of strength and focus you didn’t realise you had. You comprehend how fragile life is. We take our life for granted.

“That first night in hospital all I could think about was my daughter, the second night I was thinking about every child on the ward, third night I was thinking about all the kids in the world and what they go through. It opens your perspective.”

It’s a challenge to juggle parenthood and her acting career. “My perspective on my purpose in being an actor has changed. I love it and it’s my passion. I like to think that I’ve become a storyteller. I love telling stories to my children. And I like to think I’m putting work out there that they will be proud of one day.”

Madeleine writes of going for an audition for a US film but thinking that, if she gets it, how would she do it? “My first thought is, ‘Wow, this will be fun, how am I going to approach this character? Second thought is, ‘If I get it, how do I make it work into my family life?’

“I’ve turned down an awful lot of work since I’ve become a mother but the jobs I do take capture my heart … I want to think they’re worthy of the sacrifice I make to step away from my children.”

She says parenting has not only made her a better person, but also a better performer “because I finally comprehend empathy … There’s no time for navel-gazing. You get a world perspective”.

“There are plenty of challenges,” she says. “In life we’re faced with challenges for a reason. Challenges make us grow and that makes us better people. Parenting is a responsibility, not just to get through the mundane chores of the day but to teach the leaders of tomorrow. If we can teach them generosity and patience and kindness more than anything, then we’re well on the way.”

She also cautions parents to look after themselves.

“The greatest thing as a parent you can do for yourself is to be kind to yourself and not expect that you’re always going to get it right. There is no one formula for parenting. Be instinctual. Listen to your heart and listen

to your children and you’re going to go a long way.”

I ask how she and Shannon manage when he is busy running his restaurants, (the three-hatted Vue de Monde, Bistro Vue and Cafe Vue in the city, Heide and Melbourne Airport, Jardin Tan at the Botanic Gardens, and the sprawling Burnham Beeches property in the Dandenongs) as well as writing cookbooks and television appearances (he is a regular again on this year’s season of MasterChef).

MasterChef “We’ve slipped into a comfortable routine,” says Madeleine. “Shannon is essentially supporting the lifestyle that we live with his work. He has an enormous amount of stress on his shoulders so wherever I can support him I do, and if that means that I’m the one who’s making the beds and the school lunches, that’s fine. He then supports me when I have opportunities to go back into work.

“I’m the bad cop and he’s the good cop to the kids. I’m the one who tells them to brush their teeth and get to bed and dad’s all about tickles and playing sport.

“It seems to work for us and our children. I cannot emphasise enough the amount of work he puts in, the amount of support he gives – astronomical. He’s a man who wears many hats.”

Reflecting on the dynamic of a large family, she says: “I hope that one advantage of being one of so many is that the children never grow up with a sense of entitlement because they are always going to have to share and think about the other person. And I like to think that sets them up well for life.”

With Mother’s Day on Sunday, Madeleine would like to send a shout out – “To all the wonderful mums out there, be kind to yourself and appreciate that in one moment you’ll be a raging dragon … and the next moment you will be a superhero who is the centre of your children’s world and who can jump any hurdle, any tall building, bring planes out of the sky just from the power of your own empathy. So congratulate yourself on everything you do, give your children all the love that you have and they will return it in kind.” ● pwilmoth@theweeklyreview.com.au

ANOTHER DROP? BEN THOMAS’ HAPPY Y HOUR ONLINE EVERY VERY FRIDAY VERY

I keep seeing pinot noir described Q as Upper Yarra Valley. There’s only one Yarra Valley, right?

W H AT T O D R I N K W I T H B E N T H O M A S

There’s only one Yarra Valley, but A there are three distinct areas easily defined by the way you drive: go via

Seville Estate Pinot Noir 2014 (Yarra Valley) $36; 13%

Sunshine Creek Pinot Noir 2012 (Yarra Valley) $45; %13

Punch Close Planted Pinot Noir 2013 (Yarra Valley) $90; 13%

Seville Estate’s making some truly lovely wines at the moment.

There’s a delightful, beguiling aroma to this – the cherry, plum and spice characters waft up like waves on a beach. It’s a fairly bold wine, but not a straightforward one. First up are complex flavours, energetic acid and fine, grippy tannins.

It’s delicious to drink now, but I reckon it’s got a great future. ●

It’s not a well-known label and is a relative newcomer to the local wine scene – much of its production goes to China – but Sunshine Creek’s vines are 35 years old. This pinot is in a fine spot. Silky smooth, with savoury elements creeping into its raspberry, plum, spice and strawberry flavours.

There’s weight, elegance and soft tannins. ●

From 2080 vines planted on a quarter of a hectare in St Andrews. Layered and complex, it’s loaded with perfumed raspberry, blood plum and cherry perfume and earthy flavours. With fine-grained tannins, this wine has serious drinkability. It’s a wine for just enjoying rather than thinking too much about – its class does the talking. ●

Enjoy with \ Chicken liver parfait

Enjoy with \ Mushrooms on toast

Eltham and you’re in Diamond Valley territory, towards Healesville and Yarra Glen and that’s the valley floor. Turn right at Lilydale towards Warburton and you’re Upper Yarra-bound. The Upper Yarra has a higher altitude than the rest of the valley and thus cooler nights, extending the ripening period and increasing depth of flavour. ● GOT A QUESTION EMAIL \

BARGAIN PINOT Hoddles Creek Estate Pinot Noir 2015 (Yarra Valley) $22; 13.2% The price has gone up a dollar since last year and it’s still great value. Give this a decent decant to allow it to open up. You’ll find a delightful mix of cherry, plum, spice, strawberry and earth.

The perfume carries through and there’s a delightful structure. ● Enjoy with \ Rabbit ragu

ith Mother’s Day this weekend, I figured it’d be nifty to take my mum Frada – of the “Was anything OK?” anything OK?” school anything of dining – to one of Melbourne’s “it” spots for lunch.

Embla, aptly named after the first female in Norse mythology, is a broody, nude-bricked, bearded-cheffed shrine to fire and wine. Its menu is designed to share, the food providing a seasonal canvas for an excitingly obscure drinks list. Chef Dave Verheul’s use of vegetables (he won Dish of the Year using nothing but A CABBAGE at The Town Mouse) is encapsulated in the creamed corn: a bowl of pummelled, new-season sweet corn, adorned with flecks of dried citrus, fresh oregano and a quenelle of house-made creme fraiche that begins to melt into the sunny concoction as it’s set down. Another dish that scores the mummy “yummy face” is the snapper carpaccio, paper-thin so the pickled pepper puree beneath shines through like a ruby red beacon. The mussels, plump and pickled with a creamy rouille, served with croutons, are swiftly reduced to crumbs and nods of approval from mum, the plate wiped clean with wood-fired “mop bread”. Call your mother, set a date and book for lunch. She worries about you. ● aliceinframes@theweeklyreview.com.au

EATING \ Even though kohlrabi looks like a green apple and a dragon fruit swiped right on Fruit Tinder, it is actually a card-carrying member of the cabbage family. The flavour reminds me of cabbage hearts, always my favourite reason to mill about the kitchen as a kid when mum was making sauerkraut. ●

If you choose to vote above the line, you now need to number at least 6 boxes. Put the number ‘1’ in the box for the party or group that is your first choice, a ‘2’ for your second choice and so on until you’ve numbered at least 6 boxes.

How It Works: The Mum, A Ladybird Book, by Jason Hazeley and Joel Morris (Penguin, $19.99) penguin.com.au

This self-satirising series of Ladybird books, in which classic children’s illustrations are paired with sarcastic adult commentary, manages to be at once nostalgic and edgy. No doubt it helps that Penguin recruited two comedy writers of serious pedigree. This slender volume dedicated to the wonders and realities of motherhood – “Debbie dreams of being alone and unwanted, even for just a few minutes” – makes for a knowing Mother’s Day gift. ● WATCH

THE PEARL FISHERS The bond of friendship OPERA is tested by the lure of desire in Opera Australia’s innovative reworking of Georges Bizet’s passionate romance. On the island of Ceylon, two men swear eternal loyalty to one another, only to then go and fall in love with the same woman.

Jealousy rages and tragedy ensues.

Beneath the exotic and colourful costumes, director Michael Gow has chosen to tap into the oft-grim reality of Ceylon’s colonial past, allowing glimpses of terror and decay.

Brutalism remains one of architecture’s most controversial movements. For some it means affordable community housing, for others it speaks of urban dystopia. Others simply find it ugly.

This fractured drama is Netflix’s best drama series yet. It’s a well-worn tale in which black sheep Danny (Ben Mendelsohn) returns to his well-to-do family’s bosom and makes a mess of everything. But the show twists its story out of the usual shape, allowing each of its characters an equal share of sympathy and damnation. The tension is as hot and sticky as its Florida setting, with the dynamic pairing of Mendelsohn and Kyle Chandler at the epicentre of the hurricane. ● ONLINE \ Win a copy of Bloodline: Season 1

OH!

I N YO U R N E I G H B O U R H O O D

I love Heidelberg

O V E R H E A R D … 2pm, Wednesday @ Research “There are not many more beautiful things than autumn in Research”

JULIEN WILSON

(MATTHEW FURNEAUX)

The Melbourne International Jazz Festival is just around the corner and Heidelberg’s Julien Wilson is playing bass clarinet and tenor saxophone in Andrea Keller’s Transients 1, with the visiting United States virtuoso Gary Bartz, among two other performances.

“I’ve been involved with the festival for a number of years in a variety of contexts,” he says. “With my own bands, local or interstate groups and in collaborations with international guests.”

How did your love affair with jazz begin?

I first saw and heard the saxophone when I was 12 and I was hooked. I used to tape music from local radio and transcribe it. I started playing music on the street in the city when I was about 14 and other older musicians were kind enough to let me play with them and taught me songs. A lot of it was Brazilian jazz; Luiz Bonfa, Carlos Jobim and Joao Gilberto. I still love that music.

Where do you go for a great cup of coffee?

I am a regular at Lip Cafe.

For a hearty meal?

Tann or Kanda in Heidelberg Road, or Theo’s Fish Bar if I want something quick.

When friends come from out of town?

Darebin Parklands or the Yarra Trail. The old Alphington swimming pool beside the Yarra River is a really peaceful spot and the Fairfield Boathouse is a good vibe for the whole family.

For a nice bottle of wine?

The Ivanhoe Wine Shop and Vino Central have great variety and knowledgeable staff.

For a night out with family?

Da Pasquale is the kids’ favourite.

What makes you love where you live?

We saw a big kangaroo on our street not long after we moved in. The Darebin creek trail is a great spot to run or ride. Ivanhoe Primary is a good school with a great community. ● DANIEL PAPROTH » melbournejazz.com » julienwilson.com

purring. Hit “start” and the big rotary gear selector rises grandly from the console like Excalibur from the lake. It’s all a bit OTT. But the seats are comfy and supportive, remaining so for hours on end. The steering wheel feels exactly right and the steering is beautifully weighted.

The generous centre touch screen gives easy control and clear navigation, and the audio is among the best in its class. I didn’t like the rotary selector for the automatic gearbox; one should be able to swap between reverse and drive without looking but I kept going the wrong way. And do watch your head when getting in, especially in the rear. Those rear seats fold down in a 60/40 split for long loads.

Most of all it feels beautifully solid to drive – always very reassuring. ●

Audi. If you’re one of these, we have the car for you; an XE Jaguar. Jaguars are no longer a reliability lottery; the company finally learnt about quality control under Ford’s decade of ownership.

The XE is a terrific thing. The size of a 3 Series BMW, it has similarly limited rear seat room and a good boot, but the overriding point is how low it is.

You must duck your head getting in and your bum is very close to the road. But the low centre of gravity gives it handling that is truly delightful.

The turbocharged two-litre feels like a six and has the heft of one. Overtaking is fast and efficient, acceleration is hard and there’s always something in reserve.

One gripe: It has the most embarrassing space saver spare wheel I’ve ever seen. ●

or schools at all levels, teaching students, encouraging them to be life-long learners and preparing them for a career are priorities.

At MLC in Kew, it’s not only a priority to teach students but to support teachers as well, to help them improve their skills so they are able to prepare students for an ever-changing future.

Rowena Dudgeon, MLC’s new director of staff learning and research, is encouraging the school’s 900 full-time, part-time and casual staff members to meet the challenges of learning head-on.

Rowena joined MLC six months ago and has worked with staff to create a professional growth model. The aim of this is to develop collaborative work practices among teachers inside and outside MLC, to encourage cross-faculty discussions, to enable teachers to give feedback on the work of colleagues and allow for teachers’ own professional reflection.

The school has partnered with Education Changemakers (EC) to drive leadership of learning and innovation in classroom practice with MLC teaching staff.

“This new innovation partnership is very exciting and the teaching staff at MLC have been working with the team at EC to develop ‘action research projects’ [a process that aims to allow action and research to be achieved at the same time] using [the problem-solving technique called] ‘design thinking’ in their classrooms,” Rowena says.

“MLC’s heads of department have also seized this opportunity to work collaboratively with some of the industry’s most progressive thinkers to reflect on their

N O I T A C U D E N TEACHING A te a school eon is helping crea dg Du a en w Ro ch ar aff Learning & Rese MLC’s Director of St

role as leaders of learning and how best to be authentic leaders,” she says.

Staff are also working to prepare themselves and their students for their future roles in the global economy by helping students develop such skills as critical thinking as well as being entrepreneurial.

“We’re in an age where anyone can get information. Our role is to traverse that world of information and show them [students] how to use it for their work,” Rowena says.

“Learning is changing. Instead of students becoming knowledgeable students, they should be knowledge ‘able’.”

Rowena believes that the focus of learning needs to be on skills for innovation such as enterprise, entrepreneurialism, negotiation and collaboration.

“We’re really trying to determine now what it will be like for our little people that we have in our kindle [kindergarten] in 20 years’ time.

What will life and work be like for them?”

“we want our learners to … negotiate what they want to learn” She believes that, increasingly, young people will be called upon to work in global teams, in an online environment. Work will require individual resourcefulness and the ability to develop ideas and solutions to both local and global problems.

Many will juggle more than one role and will have multiple careers.

“Really, how does traditional schooling like sitting behind a desk, sitting an exam, help prepare them for this world? It actually doesn’t,” Rowena says.

“We can continue with the model of the

teacher up the front and all the desks in rows and everyone preparing for an exam at the end of year 12.

“Or we can look at things a little more fluidly and can say we want our learners to ask questions, drive change and negotiate what they want to learn, when they want to learn it.”

Rowena has spent much of her 21-year career at girls’ schools including Pymble Ladies’ College and later Roseville College in NSW, which she left last year to move to Melbourne with her family after her husband was relocated with his work.

She is an advocate of developing education leaders and retaining them in the education sector. She is passionate about developing young and aspiring leaders and in particular young women.

Rowena says she is also imparting the qualities of being a strong leader, a parent and a professional to her children as well as staff

for the future

Methodist Ladies’ College 207 Barkers Road, Kew. 9274 6333 » mlc.vic.edu.au and students at MLC. “I have three sons who are 12, 9 and 4. It is ironic because I’ve always predominately worked in girls’ schools and I get to go home to a boy household,” she says.

“For me, it’s the best of both worlds.

It is great for my boys to see me as a professional person as well as their mum.”

Rowena says she is excited about the future for MLC and for education in general.

“With Diana Vernon now at the helm of MLC, and a great strategic plan in place for staff learning and teaching, we’re in a really great position to cement MLC as a leader of learning in Australia and at the cutting edge of contemporary education and not be afraid of the pace of change.” ● editorial@theweeklyreview.com.au MAY 4, 2016 \ THE WEEKLY REVIEW 23

WE LOVE IT

T

o live somewhere brand new in such an established part of the north-east often means moving into a townhouse or apartment. That might be fine for empty-nesters or young couples but what about families who want crisp and contemporary design as well as plenty of room and a big backyard?

This Briar Hill house could be the answer. Built just over two years ago, it stands out from the crowd of mid-century weatherboards and ’80s split-level brick-veneers.

Its elevated 835-square-metre block overlooks Woodlands Park. The style-savvy vendors fell in love with the location and bought here a few years before they built. The original house was knocked down to make way for a cutting-edge design. The vendors combined the best parts of spec house templates, tailoring the rest to their young family. Light, height and flow were all part of the brief and the results speak for themselves.

The beauty of this house is its simplicity. It begins with a spacious entrance with 3.5-metre ceilings overhead and gleaming tiles underfoot. A stainless-steel orb-shaped light fitting hangs like a sculpture in a contemporary art gallery.

The white and charcoal palette is crisp and sophisticated.

The entrance introduces the parents’ wing and a partially open study that is the ideal place to get work done away from the action. Across the hall, double doors reveal a vast main bedroom with twin north-facing windows framing the bed, and a big picture window with views of the park. All have automated blackout shutters.

The bedroom also has a big walk-in wardrobe and tiled en suite with twin vanities, separate toilet and large shower.

Additional storage, including a section fitted out for one of the vendor’s sizeable shoe collection, is nearby.

The family hub is at the heart of the house. Its centrepiece is a kitchen with soft-close cabinetry, Miele and Omega appliances, stone benches and a butler’s pantry.

The hub becomes even bigger simply by sliding back the glass doors in the dining space and family area. This is indoor-outdoor living at its finest. The covered outdoor entertainment area soaks up the northern light, and with the flick of a switch, you can lower the electric blinds.

The mod cons don’t stop there. Most rooms and the outside area are hooked up to a Sonos surround sound system, which can be controlled by smartphone.

Most of the movie-watching happens in the adjacent rumpus, which is accessed through sliding cavity doors.

The vendors tailored this space to include an additional north-facing window and second door to the children’s wing.

In here, two of the three bedrooms open to the large central bathroom. There’s also a separate powder room.

With a big backyard, the park across the road and plenty of room indoors, this is an ideal place for kids to grow. Every stage of education is catered for. There’s a preschool at the end of the street, near even more parkland. Briar Hill and Sherbourne primary schools are within walking distance.

For the older kids, Montmorency Secondary College is close, and there’s a stop on the corner for buses that go to Eltham and on to private schools in Kew. ● LIAM CARTER property@theweeklyreview.com.au

Price \ $1.45 million – $1.55 million

This house does curvaceous art deco glamour so well, its floor plan diagram looks like a jelly mould. Set in the bowl of a 1930s court, its living room and main bedroom bask in Ivanhoe’s autumn colours through tall, metal-framed windows. The single-level house has been renovated. It’s full of original quirks, not least the lavish ceilings and the mirrored door that leads to … another mirror. Polished floorboards, white walls and ample natural light combine soothingly. The living room has an open fireplace and full-length, mullioned windows. The dining area opens to the north-facing rear garden. In the adjoining kitchen, a Smeg 900-millimetre range nestles amid white satin-finish cabinets topped with granite. Two double bedrooms have built-in wardrobes and the third, a spacious single, opens to the garden. The bathroom with its clawfoot bath and separate shower is a highlight. There’s also a lock-up garage. ● ALISON BARCLAY

It may not be paved in gold, but it’s better than bitumen on Wooded Way. Arguably Montmorency’s finest street, it has herringbone brick paving all the way up to its hilltop bushland reserve. This handsome two-storey house has large and luxurious living spaces, starting with a sunken lounge with exposed brick fireplace and high ceilings. It is open to the dining room. When it comes to entertaining, you’re spoilt for choice here. There’s also a living room with cathedral ceilings, a second fireplace and views of the lagoon-shaped pool. Serve guests wine from the cellar and, in warmer months, dine out on the paved outdoor entertainment area. You can keep an eye on the youngsters in the pool through the picture window in the kitchen. Accommodation is smartly zoned, with two kids’ bedrooms with built-in desks and a family bathroom upstairs.

The main bedroom is off the lounge. It has an extra-large en suite with spa. If you need more space, the study could easily become a fourth bedroom. ● LIAM CARTER

IVANHOE \ 83 BOND STREET Renovated in all the right places, this house will impress with light-filled living areas and family-focused updates. A great street presence is immediately inviting with a securely fenced front garden complete with a landscaped entertainment area. The front open-plan living space with a multipaned bay window has french doors out to a pergola-covered terrace. Taking advantage of this north-facing position, this European-inspired setting has been perfectly executed. The grapevine-covered pergola promises summer shade while al fresco dining.

Cream-coloured interiors with polished hardwood floors are introduced in the living area. The kitchen has been updated with Caesarstone benches, new stainless-steel appliances (including a pyrolytic oven), an integrated dishwasher, appliance cupboard and walk-in pantry. A gas log fire with a marble mantel is a timeless feature in the living space.

The attention to detail extends to the rear of the house, where there are three bedrooms and a new main bathroom, en suite and laundry.

Storage has been built in throughout.

The rear main bedroom gets garden views and an adjoining study/walk-in wardrobe/ nursery behind glass doors. The landscaped backyard has plenty of lawn for kids to play and established gardens. It’s an accomplished package in a handy location close to schools, buses, parks and shops. ● EMMA HOUGHTON

26 THE WEEKLY REVIEW \ MAY 4, 2016

PLENTY \ 2 MANNAA MEWS At eight years old, this house was the last kid on the block in this popular hilly pocket.

In a land of large period-style houses, this imposing modern residence on a corner allotment with two street frontages (and two double garages) stands out on its elevated site.

With a distinct lack of turrets, fretwork, gables and verandahs, this contemporary offering presents super-sized family living with the lot. Entertainers will feel right at home here, with multiple living spaces for hosting a crowd and a terrace that doubles as an all-weather outdoor living room. There are four living areas on the ground floor, including a carpeted home theatre and a games room with bar. Upstairs adds a rumpus and a study.

Clean lines, white interiors, treetop views and clerestory windows define the roomy interiors.

In the open-plan living zone, plate-glass windows take in views of the lap pool that runs along the north side of the house. Textured, large-format grey tiles form a feature wall alongside the pool, and are used for the floating chimney breast of the outdoor gas log fire. Their use in the dining area enhances the great indoor-outdoor connection.

There is one downstairs bedroom with en suite, and four more bedrooms upstairs.

All are spacious; the upstairs main has a huge en suite, a walk-behind wardrobe/dressing room and doors to a balcony. ● EMMA HOUGHTON

DISCRIMINATION IN ADVERTISING IS UNLAWFUL

The Victorian Equal Opportunity Act 1995 makes it unlawful for an advertiser to show any intention to discriminate on the basis of sex, pregnancy, race, age, marital status, political or religious belief or physical features, disability, lawful sexual activity/sexual orientation, HIV/AIDS status or on the basis of being associated with a person with one of the above characteristics, unless covered by an exception under the Act. As Network Classifieds could be legally liable if an unlawful advertisement is printed, Network Classifieds will not accept advertisements that appear to break the law. For more information about discrimination in advertising, contact your legal advisers or the Equal Opportunity Commission.
