WHEN Enzo Pagnozzi is not selling proper-ty in the western suburbs, he can be foundputting his culinary skills to the test.

The principal of Growth Realty in Subiacois a closet cook, who told Residential he wasguilty of watching the cooking channel onFoxtel and reading cookbooks in his sparetime.

“I love the beautiful photos of food and theplaces and country from where it originated,’’he said.

“My favourite meal is Sunday lunch athome.The perfect recipe would have to besharing good food and great wine with familyand friends.”

As much as Enzo loves Perth, he saidanother interest of his was travelling, and heenjoyed going overseas a couple of times eachyear.

“Italy is my favourite country, especially asmy older son lives in Verona,’’ he said.

His love for Italy may also have developedwhile he lived and worked there between1977 and 1981.

“When I returned to Perth in April 1981 Ihad no money and no job, but a loving family,’’he said.

“To cut a long story short, I enrolled in thereal estate sales course in April 1981 and have

never looked back.“The success of Growth Realty is due to

my wife Peta and myself, working hard, enjoy-ing what we do, and having great staff over theyears.More recently this has included our sonTrent.What has made it even more worth-while are the fantastic friends we have madealong the way.”

Renowned for his quirky, movie-inspiredadvertising billboards, Enzo said his marketingcampaign was creative and fun.

“The feedback from our clients, peers andthe public in general is very positive, so muchso that people stop me in the street and askwhat our next campaign will be and even sug-gest ideas to me,’’ he said.

Situated in Subiaco, Growth Realty knowsall about selling property in the western sub-urbs.

“It is no secret that the market is experi-encing a major correction and real estate val-ues have fallen. However, I believe that this isone of those golden opportunities wherepeople who buy today will reap the rewardstomorrow,’’ he said.

“As they say, buy in gloom, sell in boom.“Everywhere has slowed but the western

suburbs will alwayssurvive better andbounce backstronger due towhat we all knowis one of the gold-en rules when buy-ing real estate –location.” ■

Boomers go westEnzo’s recipe for la dolce vitaGrowth Realty principal Enzo Pagnozzi discusses his passions for food, Italy – and real estate

A GROWING number of baby boomers are‘upsizing’ and moving into the western suburbsas they continue working later in life.

According to Caporn Young principalRichard Young, during the past five years therehas been a significant increase in the number ofhomebuyers over 50 years of age purchasinghomes in Claremont, Dalkeith, Nedlands,Cottesloe and Fremantle.

“These baby boomers are buying into up-market lifestyle suburbs because they intendto have a longer working life and are attractedto these near-city suburbs, which can providesecurity as well as a wonderful lifestyle,’’ hesaid.

“People are now living much longer andtheir working lives are being extended.This isin direct contrast to lifestyle trends during the1980s when many people were encouraged toretire as early as 55 years of age.”

Mr Young said mature buyers were attractedto the area because it had easy access to thecity, the river, Fremantle and Cottesloe.

“Crime is an important issue for these babyboomers and they are now prepared to pay apremium price to live in an area which has verylow crime rates,’’ he said.

“Caporn Young is also finding that moremature property buyers are driving a growingdemand for higher-density homes in the areasuch as villas, townhouses, terraced homes andapartments. ■

East Freo’s grand old dameSET back from Preston Point Road,with its own entry and address,Aldgate House is one of the oldestresidences in East Fremantle andperhaps one of the most exclusive.

Formerly occupying the land infront of it, the federation home nowsits at the end of a quiet lane thatleads directly to the original frontwrought iron gates, which werehand-made more than a hundredyears ago.

Flanked by an exquisite rose gar-den and limestone staircases, theelevated residence exudes thecharm of yesteryear and is as time-

less as it is historical.German shipping merchants built

the home in 1892.Yet despite its heritage listing,

there is approval for the addition ofa second storey that would enhancethe ocean view while capturing aharbour and river aspect.

A tiled veranda with cast ironlace work wraps around the houseand provides an outlook across thewide driveway to the double garage.

Adjacent to this is a 17-metreindoor lap pool.

Tuck-point brickwork and stun-ning stained glass are features of the

entrance, which opens into a foyerwith a heritage listed wall mural andalcove encasing a bronzed statue.

High and ornate ceilings, polishedjarrah floorboards and a fireplace ineach of the four bedroomsenhances the character.

A separate informal living roomreveals steps down to the cellar,with original inscriptions on thewall.

The formal lounge has large sashwindows offering river glimpses.

Pine cabinetry features in thekitchen and one of the two bath-rooms has a claw-foot bath. ■

The gorgeous cream and whitecharacter facade is offset by ameticulously landscaped terracedgarden with a flourishing frangipanitree.

Inside, the home is warm andinviting, like the friend’s home youalways wanted to stay over as achild.

There are four bedrooms andtwo bathrooms, plus a loft stylestudy with inbuilt cabinetry on thesecond floor.

High decorative ceilings, sashwindows and Victorian frenchdoors feature throughout, all hall-marks of the era that was.

The entry passage leads throughto the rear wing where a spacious,rustic timber kitchen with a rangehood, tile splashback and dualovens overlooks the dining area,offering a place for the family tocongregate after school and work.

The lounge room occupies apocket to the left of the kitchenand also features tall sash win-dows, giving a glimpse of the gar-den outside.

Plantation shutter bi-fold doorsdivide a shady alfresco area fromthe pool, which has a vine-coveredlimestone wall as a backdrop.

The rest of the grounds arelandscaped garden beds surround-ing an expansive lawn area with atowering tree at the bottom of thegarden – a garden you could sit infor hours.

The cedar shutters open totreetop aspects from every win-dow, providing the most tranquil ofviews to wake up to each morning.

Warehouse awashwith space, beauty JUST an empty shell of a warehouse fouryears ago, the owners of this King Streetresidence transformed the property froman ugly duckling into the most beautiful ofswans.

With backgrounds in advertising andgraphic design, the couple worked closelywith architect Laurie Scanlan to create theirideal home – anindustrial-inspiredinner city apartmentwith an abundance ofspace.

The first floorhome covers 258sqm which includes acleverly designedlibrary and officemezzanine via an iron spiral staircase.

Every element of the home was designedto retain the open-plan feel of the ware-house, said one of the owners.“We didn’twant to constrain the space,” he said.

This includes floating cabinetry in thekitchen, a glass walkway within the mezza-nine and bedrooms with divider walls andvoids to the five-metre ceilings.

European oak parquetry floors flowthroughout the bedrooms and living areaswith Spanish ceramic tiles featured in thebathrooms.

A striking Essa stone island bench runsthe length of the kitchen, which includesintegrated Miele appliances such as aninduction cook top, oven and plate warmer,and a canopy rangehood.

There is also a separate cafe servery.

The lounge and dining areas flow seam-lessly off the kitchen, which makes the

home perfect for entertaining.An original exposed brick wall where the

TV cabinet is mounted is a subtle reminderof the warehouse origins.

Two bedrooms occupy the central areaof the home, the master of which has sliding

door access into thelounge.

Both have stun-ningly appointed

ensuites.Three huge blackpanelled windows

allow northern lightto shine in, and pro-vide an unusual tree

top aspect from Wellington Street, whilesliding plantation shutters block the light

out when required.In the iconic Wills Building, the split-levelhome also features a cbus system, doubleglazing to the windows, an intercom and a

huge attic storage area.This remarkable home redefines apart-

ment living. ■

‘Floating’ masterpiece timeless and elegant

ELEVATED on the escarpment in MosmanPark, this magnificent three-level homeappears as though it floats on the river.

Custom-built by Seacrest Homes 6½ yearsago, the property is timeless, having retained asophisticated yet elegant feel.

The owners were clear in their design brief– they wanted separation of adult and chil-dren zones and something that captured thestunning views.

The result is an ‘upside-down home’ wherethe living areas are on the second level.

A large chef’s kitchen is orientated towardsthe view. Beyond the adjacent lounge, floor toceiling glass panels overlook the escarpment,river and across to Bicton.

Bifold doors on two sides can be opened

up to allow the interior and exterior tobecome one.

A massive terrace, with a towering treegently beside it, is an utterly tranquil place tosoak in the breathtaking surrounds.

Soaring timber-lined vaulted ceilings add anearthy warmth both inside and out.

Away from the living areas, a fully dedicatedhome theatre features tiered seating, built-incabinetry and down lights.

The master suite and a separate study arealso on this level while the lower level fea-tures three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

There is also an activity room with a barwhich opens on to a ground floor alfrescoarea, flanked by lush lawn, a lap pool and stun-ning koi fish pond.

This is perfect for teen children who canentertain friends away from their parents.

On basement level, a contemporary winecellar has a bar and stool area with a viewingwindow to the pool – a real novelty for theowners’ children when they were young.

Set on 1013sq m with triple garaging at thefront, this generous home won’t fail toimpress. ■

LAND2062C

Q: I am thinking of becoming areal estate agent as I enjoy look-ing at houses and am pretty goodwith people (I’ve been in retailfor six years). Real estate agentsalso seem to earn really goodmoney. Is there anything I shouldknow before I sign up for thecourse,and do you recommend itas a career?A: Real estate can be incrediblyrewarding as long as you have no illu-sions that it is an easy way to earnmoney. Only a very small percentageof real estate agents are truly success-ful, and those are the ones that worklong hours, are extremely active,determined and have very good com-munication skills. In addition, the moreyou think about the money the lessyou will get, so if that is your mainfocus then forget it.Apart from that ithas its highs and lows – you get acco-lades one day and abuse the next, soit’s like a rollercoaster ride, and can beincredibly exciting. Personally I love it,but it’s not for everyone.Q: I have lived in my house forover 40 years, and last year myhusband passed away. Now I’mthinking I should move to one ofthose retirement villages. Thisreal estate agent keeps knockingon my door to see if I want to sell,and he’s given me a figure for sell-ing it but how do I know if this iscorrect? I’m not sure what to do.A: Normally a seller would call inaround three different agents to givean opinion on the pricing so you getan overall idea of the figure. Some-times these can vary quite a lot, butusually the average of these is fairlyaccurate as long as the agents arelocal.Then I would pick the agent thatyou like the most, that you feel mostcomfortable with and that you feel willget you the best result (this is general-ly not the agent who is being pushyand trying to get you to sign some-

thing before you are ready). If you havea friend or a relative who could helpyou with this, that would also be anadvantage.Q: I thought that we had just soldour home as we had a contractthat was subject to finance, andthen the buyers told our agent onthe Friday that the finance hadbeen approved and they werevery excited about moving in.Then, on the Monday, we got aletter from the bank saying thefinance had been declined. Wehave a pretty large deposit fromthem, so can we keep this?A: Unfortunately as there is nothing inwriting to say the finance wasapproved keeping the deposit mightprove difficult.What you can do is askfor proof that an application was madeto the bank for the amount stated onthe contract and the accompanyingdecline for that same amount. If theycannot provide this information youmay have a case to keep the deposit,but you would need legal advice andprobably fight this in court – a lengthyprocess that probably means that youcannot sell your home in the mean-time. Probably better to cut your loss-es and move on.

Distinguished lines make a classic statement in this well-appointed home. By JANE EVANS

TOP TIPS FOR BUYING LAND5THE start of 2011 has seen

a number of major landdevelopers in Perth offeringattractive incentive packagesto boost land sales.

While these incentiveswill be welcomed by manyproperty buyers, it is impor-tant to keep in mind the key fundamentals thatshould be considered when buying any block ofland.

This week OrangeTee Gossip Realty princi-pal and licensee Kara Tripp shares her top tipson buying a block of land.1. LOCATION

The location of the estate in which you arebuying the block will determine its long-termcapital growth.

For example, new housing estates which arelocated close to the coast will prove more pop-ular with future buyers because of the growingimportance of lifestyle living which coastal prop-erties offer.

New estates that have a limited time frame tobuild a home mean that it will be establishedmore quickly and this will improve the resalevalue of the properties.2. SIZE MATTERS

Check the size of the block in square metres.This will give you a comparison for the prices

of nearby blocks.You should also pick a block inan estate that is more unique than others i.e.overlooking a park.

This will appeal to future property buyers.The shape of the block is also very important.

A narrow block will limit the type of house youcan build. Blocks with a steep gradient that havenot been retained will incur high building costs3.AVOID TRAFFIC

Be careful not to buy a home on a busy roadbecause these homes are more difficult to sell.

In a new estate, a road may appear quietbecause not many houses have been built.

However, this may change when all of thehouses in the estate have been built.

It is therefore wise to carefully look at themaster plan of the estate to check the futureflow of traffic.4.THINK GREEN

If you want to build an environmentallyfriendly home then the amount of sunlight theblock will receive is very important.

Even the most poorly oriented block canlook sunny and elevated when it is vacant.

It is therefore important to get an expertopinion on how your block’s exposure to sun,wind and rain will affect the home you hope tobuild.5. QUALITY

The quality of a land development is very sig-nificant in determining future capital growthrates of blocks because of the growing impor-tance of ‘branding’ in real estate sales.

Established homebuyers want impressiveentry statements and developments withlifestyle facilities such as parks and cycle paths.

A good tip is to check the master plan forthe new housing development which will giveyou an overview of the facilities planned for theestate. You should also check how much thedeveloper plans to spend on landscaping andhow much of the estate will be dedicated toopen space area. ■

“Our day at CeVue...

“This morning we woke to enjoy our cuppa while we

perused the daily papers (delivered to our apartment) before

breakfast looking over the fabulous ocean views. After

attending to “chores” like emails that invade our lives, it was

a walk along the white sands to Trigg, and then back to take

a refreshing dip in the surf before relaxing by the CeVue pool

protected from the breezes. Tonight we will enjoy a cocktail

on the balcony taking in the Indian Ocean sunset before a

meal of fresh sand whiting prepared on our barbecue.”

We’ve waited all our lives for this”

Scammers turn to real estateIF you are trying to sell your home via theinternet, be warned about scammers whoare targeting private property sellers online.

WA ScamNet has seen this method offraud used on people selling cars, computerconsoles and other items and said the latestconcern was the real estate market.

Consumer Protec-tion CommissionerAnne Driscoll said thisoften involved a bogusbuyer approaching aseller, stating that theywish to make a pur-chase from overseas.

“The scammerrequests the seller topay a fee on theirbehalf, supposedly tofacilitate the sale insome way,’’ she said.

“They then will askfor the money to betransferred by wire, knowing that thismethod is virtually untraceable.

“Alternatively, the scammer may sug-gest payment via a secure payment sys-tem, but provides electronic linkswhich take the seller to a fake ver-sion of a legitimate payment site.

“Home sellers need to beaware that in a property transac-tion, there should be no legiti-mate reason for the seller tooutlay

money on behalf of the purchaser.”Ms Driscoll said while sellers stand tolose money, their property ownership

should not be jeopardised.“Unlike recently reported real estate

scams which posed a risk to land ownershipand title exchange, this scam does not

threaten property owner-ship, but instead defrauds

sellers of money,’’ she said.For more information on

scams, log on to www.com-merce.wa.gov.au/wascam-

IF Neil and Jenny Delmage are going to stopfor a coffee during the day, they like to have itsomewhere overlooking the ocean.

This way of thinking embodies the Cottes-loe-based couple’s casual disposi-tion and affection fornature, which after25 years as Perth’sleading landscapedesigners, is hardlysurprising.

The well known cou-ple, of NaturescapeCreative Landscaping,have worked on hun-dreds of gardens, rangingfrom tiny courtyard spacesto sprawling rural proper-ties – winning them numer-ous national awards – andhave had their gardens fea-tured in Home Beautiful, House and Garden andCountry Style magazines.

The Delmages have also appeared on nation-al television programs such as Gardening Aus-tralia and Burke’s Backyard.

In 2010,Neil and Jenny released their secondpictorial book, From Coast to Country, showcas-ing their extensive photographic library ofwork, which has since been picked up by lead-

ing publishing house Penguin Books Australia.Published by Fremantle Press, the 144-page

book features some of their mostspectacular landscape designs,accompanied throughout byJenny’s stunning watercoloursketches.

Neil developed his trainingin gardening while Jenny is agraphic artist who studiedarchitectural drawing.

“We design all ourgardens by hand,” shesaid.

“I like to give eachclient a watercolour

sketch of the design sothat they can compare the end

result with the vision.“It’s different from designing an interior or

building, this is a living thing so I like to bring itto life through drawing.”

In addition to creating classic and beautifulgardens around Australia, the couple are relent-less advocates of producing water-wise gardensthat blend seamlessly into the environment.

“With water fast becoming a scarce com-modity in Australia, sustainability is the key,”said Neil.

“Australians tend to over water, whereas in

Europe and America, they adapt their gardensto the climate.”

The couple also believe in salvaging whatthey can, wherever they can, whether it begates, existing pavers or plants.

“We want to help people,” said Jenny, “andcreate the very best garden we can.”

As we left the Cottesloe cafe where I inter-viewed the Delmages, Jenny waved to the thirdpatron she knew there.

“See, we could never drop our standard ofwork, or do anything half-heartedly,” shelaughed.

“The western suburbs is too small.” ■
