AS a finalist in the 2010 Master BuildersAssociation Housing Excellence Awards, thishome has quite a reputation to live up to, andit is testament to its singular class and stylethat it exceeds expectations.

Industry recognition is far from the onlyreason to make this house your home.

Consider also its innovative architecturaldesign, its elevated location near Hale School,shops and opposite Bennett Park and Dou-bleview Bowling Club, and the panoramicocean, park and valley views it captures.

It takes its external cues from ultra mod-ern architecture and is defined by strong linesand geometric shapes.

Contrast trim stands out against the cof-fee-coloured render of the façade and stain-less steel handrails to the balconies.

Timber accents add depth and interest tothe striking façade.

Coffered shadowline ceilings enhance thesense of space in the porcelain tiled foyer andadjacent sunken lounge room.

Brushbox timber flooring in this livingroom echoes the look of the grand timberstaircase nearby.

Through to the open-plan kitchen, meals

area and family room, that flow out throughbi-fold doors to a rear, timber-lined alfrescodeck.

The stunning ‘waterwall’ feature here isjust one more example of the meticulousattention to detail that makes this house sospecial.

For those who love to entertain, this areawill be a boon thanks to its seamless connec-tion to the kitchen, which is itself a show-piece.

An oversized canopy rangehood is sus-pended above the Miele five-burner gas hoband opposite a stainless steel double oven.

It appears streamlined thanks to glass,splashbacks, white gloss cupboards and stonebench tops in a complementary hue.

Upstairs there is a theatre room with bar

facilities and connecting balcony, a study andlibrary. Across the two levels are four spa-cious bedrooms – all with either walk-in orbuilt-in robes – and three bathrooms, withfull height tiling and stone finishes.

The main bedroom is on the first floor andhas a private balcony and its own ensuite.

Extras include an alarm system, securitygates, intercom, smart wiring, airconditioningand water-wise landscaped and reticulatedgardens. ■

Class exceeds expectations

for saleThese homes were inspired by the Cote D’Azur on the French Riviera on the SE coast of France, where residents enjoy mesmerising azure blue views from elevated homes on the steep coastal hillsides that plunge into the Mediterranean Sea….and it is not hard to work out why!

You are purchasing one of only 9 properties in the iconic “Cote D’Azure” dwellings sharing a near ¾ acre corner site perched high on an oceanfront ridge on the City Beach border of the southern Brighton beachfront.

A timeless and impeccably maintained development terraced into the hillside and designed such that incredible and mesmerizing views are preserved maximized and celebrated for each of the fortunate owners within this tightly held complex.

Perhaps far more enchanting than that of its name-sake is the beach in front of this property – directly over the road (The beach track Brighton Beach Track #3 is literally 50m from your front door!)

Walk through the winding track as it meanders around picturesque and untouched dune systems brimming with unique fl ora and fauna until youemerge at what is perhaps the most quiet and reclusive stretch of beachfront on the entire Perth Coastline.

To have such a desolate stretch of back beach this close to the centre of Perth City is truly quite amazing. Even during a summer heat wave, when

you can see the bikini clad throngs in the distance at Scarborough beach

to the north and the action packed City Beach dog beach to the south,

you would be lucky to share the waters at the end of Track 3 with one

or two other people, and on most occasions there is not another soul

around.

The home on offer at Cote D’Azure (No 8) is perhaps the perfect mid

sized dwelling. Incredibly secure, with keyless entry, it has a sweeping

open plan central living area with incredible views, opening onto a large

backyard with built in outdoor kitchen and room for a dog and a veggie

patch! There is certainly no compromising in this “downsize”! Completely

renovated throughout, Accommodation consists of 3 double bedrooms

plus study/offi ce two brand new bathrooms, and a modern kitchen.

Polished boards, new carpets, built in wine fridges and a double lock up

garage complete the picture. Book your inspection today!

French influence in superb Sorrento homeLIVING in a cottage in the southof France for the past year hasnot dulled the owners’ apprecia-tion for this home, their base inSorrento and the inspirationbehind their love of “wine andsunset time” with friends.

On inspection of the opulentdouble-storey house, it is hard tobelieve anyone could bear tospend a minute away from it.

Looking at the 180-degreeocean view down the coast fromFremantle to Hillarys, you areinclined to think the view mightbe as enjoyable as the companyduring the aforementioned timespent entertaining guests.

According to the currentowner, the house has severalunusual qualities to satisfy boththe practical and aestheticallyminded buyer.

“We’re in an elevated pocketand because of that we have clearviews over not just the water, butthe sand and groyne, which isreally quite rare,” she said.

“One of the greatest thingsabout the house is having the rearlaneway from High and Clontarfstreets, which isn’t present for allhomes along the coast. Havingaccess off West Coast Drive isvery convenient.”

The best place to enjoy theuninterrupted view – the owners’favourite feature – in completeprivacy is in the alfresco areawhich, like the interior, has touch-es of French provincial style.

Sheoak timber flooring

throughout facilitates the smoothflow of the living spaces, from thegallery-like entrance hall to thefree-flowing living spaces at theheart of the home, with wall-to-wall French windows and doors.

“When people walk in, the firstthing they say is that the househas such a lovely feel to it,” theowner said.

Extra high ceilings work withthe abundance of natural light toenhance the sense of space in thefamily room, meals area and mod-ern marble kitchen, which arewarmed by a wood fire.

French doors in these roomsopen to the courtyard that wrapsaround two sides of the house,creating a garden enclave thatstands out against the stunningocean backdrop.

There is also a cosy home the-atre room and a study.

The sumptuous master suitecomes complete with a walk-inrobe, spa ensuite with shower,twin vanity and heat lights.

It connects to a private court-yard, with access to the front ofthe property and the solar heatedsaltwater pool at the back, whichthe owner said was great for daysthat were too windy to enjoy atthe beach, as it is protected fromprevailing winds.

Extras include excellent stor-age in built-in cabinets.

It is on an 842sq m block withfuture subdivision potential and isjust a short walk from eateriesand Hillarys Boat Harbour. ■

SITUATED less than 10km from the PerthCBD, Wembley Downs is an inner north-west-ern suburb with plenty to offer.

Part of the land that now makes up WembleyDowns was originally granted to Henry Triggand Mary Ann Hokin in 1842.

David Boyd then acquired a tract of land inWembley Downs covering 642 acres inabout 1906.

After the death of Boyd in 1926, hisexecutors sold the land to the CityBeach Land Company of Perth.

First subdivided into about90 lots in 1927, the area wasmainly developed in the 1950sand its name was derived from theadjacent golf course.

At first development was slow, due part-ly to the thick virgin bush and lime-stone outcrops, which made building

difficult, but by the 1970s the area was com-pletely developed.

Residential dwellings within WembleyDowns are mainly single houses on large indi-vidual lots. However, a substantial number ofduplexes have been established in recent yearsbecause of the growing popularity of infill

development.With a median house price of$950,000, the suburb has experienced

a growth rate of 9.2 per cent in thepast 12 months.

Nestled between the oceanand the City, the area has the

best of both worlds and is a shortdrive to the many fantastic beaches in

City Beach and Scarborough.With an abundance of open public space

and schools,Wembley Downs is per-fect for those with families. ■

A study branches off the entry, and is perfectlypositioned here, separated from the main livingareas by a timber-framed glass door to reducenoise.

Polished floorboards extend throughout theground floor for seamless flow between the dif-

ferent areas of the home. The kitchen is ultra-modern, but avoids appearing too stark withwood backing to part of the stone-topped break-fast bar.

Stainless steel appliances and frosted glassoverhead cupboards complete the look.

Bi-parting doors connect the family room tothe rear courtyard, the defining feature of which

is simplicity and ambi-ence that is sure to beappreciated by thosewho love entertainingoutside.
