The Bruck Mills House, designed by prominent Australian architect Robin Boyd, at Wangaratta has been listed for sale at $795,000.
Bruck Textiles is selling <a href="https://www.garrynash.com.au/?pagecall=property&amp;propertyID=2471526" target="_blank">the 1953-designed two storey, seven bedroom house</a> which was used to accomodate guests, including many federal ministers who visited while considering the issue of textile industry tariff continuation.
Such is its worthiness that photos of the house taken by Wolfgang Sievers feature in the <a href="https://www.nla.gov.au/apps/cdview/?pi=nla.pic-an13959123" target="_blank">National Library of Australia archives</a> (pictured below).

Frederick Romberg, who worked at the architectural firm with Robin Boyd, had previously designed the Bruck Textiles premises in Flinders Lane, Melbourne.
The house comes with an east and west wing on its 2,864 square metre site. Boyd, who died in 1971, was an influential Australian architect, one of the foremost proponents for the International Modern Movement.
<a href="https://www.bruckgroup.com/about-bruck/history-4" target="_blank">Bruck was founded in Wangaratta in 1946</a>. From the 1980s it was run by Sydney ragtraders Joe Brender and Sam Moss, with another Sydney ragtrader, Phil Bart initially snapping up a 50% stake in Bruck Textiles in 2004. 
Brender kept a nominal 10%, with Moss holding 30% with Phil Green's Babcock and Brown - the privately owned investment bank - holding a 20% stake.
Bart is now its only shareholder.
Last month it was announced Wangaratta will become home to Australia’s only towel manufacturing facility, with Bruck Textiles transferring the operations of its sister company Australian Weaving Mills (AWM) from Tasmania to Wangaratta with the support of $500,000 from the Victorian Coalition government.
Bruck Textiles currently employed more than 200 people at its Wangaratta plant, where it manufactures workwear, fabrics for Australian Defence forces, furnishing, and specialist protective fabrics.
The company’s new $6.1 million process and wastewater treatment project, which received almost $2.2 million in support from the Victorian government’s $1 billion Regional Growth Fund, was opened last month.

The speed of private treaty sales in Sydney during September was at three year lows - taking just 63 days for a typical dwelling sale.
It stood at 82 days during September last year, according to data from Australian Property Monitors.
It was July 2010 when Sydney last had such rapid sales - at the tail end of the 2010 market fillip.
Only Canberra comes close to the speed of Sydney sales, with its typical dwelling currently selling in 70 days.
Four capital cities, including Perth, recorded a shift to slower sales times between August and September.  
Adelaide (120 days) and Brisbane (114 days) vendors need the most patience to secure a sale.
At times Sydney private treaty vendors have required just short of 100 days to secure a sale, especially in the mid-summer slow down.
The speed of sales has been among the emerging signals of the strength of the overall market recover in Sydney which began in the auction market.

The discount required by Sydney sellers is also at record low levels with the typical dwelling vendor required to take 4.9% off their asking price to secure the sale, according to APM.
The only month prior to September 2013 with a 4.9% discount level was September 2003, according to records provided by Neil Tan, an APM research assistant.
It was 6.2% last September and 6.7% in September 2011. The highest required Sydney discount over recent years was 7.1% in August 2011.
Camberra's 4.1% required discount bettered the Sydney scenario.
Brisbane and Adelaide vendors need to reduce their asking prices the most to secure their sale.

The Point House, McMahons Point apartment of the bankrupt car dealer Rick Damelian is being sold mortgagee-in-possession.

The former Parramatta Road-based car dealer's business went into receivership two years ago.
<a href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/retail/rick-damelian-bankrupted-as-his-parramatta-road-caryards-sell-through-receivers-ferrier-hodgson/2012111557900" target="_blank">His receivers Ferrier Hodgson </a>secured permission to sell the 510 square metre two level East Crescent Street apartment from the Supreme Court's Justice Michael Slattery.

Undistracted by Gai Waterhouse buying a Melbourne bolthole apartment, Title Tattle notes Fernhill, the Georgian-era showcase estate at Mulgoa, is set to hold a picnic race day.
It follows its complicated 2012 acquistion by the entreprenuer Simon Tripp and his wife, Brenda. 
Apparently they are talking about having Delta Goodrem there with 15,000 attendees. The November 9 Fernhill Picnic Race Day will feature six picnic races, including the $25,000 Fernhill Cup, run on the estate’s 2400m grass track. 2GB broadcaster Ray Hadley will officiate at the call of the card.
While the disused racecourse actually only dates back to the 1970s, <a href="https://www.fernhillestate.net.au" target="_blank">the 654 hectare Fernhill estate</a> (pictured below) dates back to the 1840s. As veteran Fairfax Media racing writer Max Presnell recently wrote while Fernhill has a great thoroughbred history, it had been as a stud and not for racing.
{yoogallery src=[images/stories/2013/10/11/mul]}
He noted one of the greatest racehorses that ever trod the Australian turf, Yattendon died at Fernhill, near Penrith in 1880.
Winner of the Sydney Cup in 1866, Yattendon produced Melbourne Cup winners Chester (1877) and Grand Flaneur (1880).
Title Tattle recalls the stables, which could house up to 20 horses, are the oldest buildings on site having housed the Irish stonemasons who worked on the Greek Revival temple-style sandstone residence. 
The six-bedroom mansion is widely regarded as one of the finest examples of Georgian architecture in the country.
It was built for Edward Cox, the sixth and youngest son of pioneer William Cox, possibly designed by architect Mortimer Lewis, with amended plans dropping the second storey due to the 1840s agricultural recession. William Cox oversaw the building of the first road over the Blue Mountains in 1814.
Fernhill remained in the ownership of the Cox family until 1896, when it sold to the Wright family, of Wright, Heaton and Co, who billed their firm as the most extensive carrying firm in the colony.
Its former owner Warren Anderson has expressed concerns about the picnic race meeting set down for November 9 on safety and heritage grounds.
Warren Anderson, who had Asian ponies trained on the property, suggests the Fernhill track was unsuitable for horse racing as the track was designed by Frank Gardiner as a private pre-training track in the late 1970s.
He suggests no more than two horses worked on it at a time as the bends on the track were not cambered and too acute for horses to negotiate safely.
But Presnell noted Racing NSW deputy chairman of stewards Marc Van Gestel has replied to suggest Fernhill had been subject of a maintenance program to ensure the course meets minimum standards for a country D picnic meeting.
More might come to light as a barrier trial was scheduled to take place yesterday with barrier limits of eight runners for each race set by stewards.
Anderson is also concerned the heritage listed property could become the next Bong Bong, the NSW Southern Highlands race meeting that for a while was just busloads of fun seekers enjoying the booze rather than the racing.
The Tripp couple still only hold a caveatable interest as purchaser under a November 30, 2012 put and call option deed, according to a check of the land title records.
At the time of the sale, it was suggested the couple secured the mansion outright and entered into a joint venture with the financiers Angas, the Adelaide-based boutique financier, to develop housing development on its outer perimeter.
The local press have noted the plans, which included biobanking land, were for 38 two hectare lots plus 53 losts averaging 2000 square metres each.
Title Tattle notes there's unregistered paperwork prepared for a new deposited plan at the land titles office.
The Penrith Press noted that Simon Tripp refuted claims the couple and Angas could make $81.5 million profit from the envisaged subdivision which were made in an unsigned letter to Mulgoa neighbours.
"The subdivision is essential for the survival of Fernhill. Fernhill was left in a very precarious position. Our plan is to turn Fernhill into a viable working enterprise, not just a rich man's folly. 
"The defamatory claims in that letter are completely untrue. We are making no money from the subdivision of Fernhill - it is to relieve the debts of the previous owner," Simon Tripp told the Penrith Press.
Fernhill currently has 15 lots totalling 654 hectares, of which 404 hectares form part of the historic Fernhill estate that contains the original 1810 Cox family Crown land grant.
All up the deal was reportedly valued at more than $50 million after extensive negotiations by Teena Dwight at in conjunction with Paul Cutcliffe at Cutcliffe Acreage Property. The sale followed a matrimonial Anderson family dispute.
 
<img src="/images/stories/flagtitletat.jpg" alt="flagtitletat" width="25" height="34" style="font-size: 14px; margin: 5px; float: left;">
The other major racing occurance was news that the Victoria Racing Club (VRC) plans to sell two parcels of land to Chinese ultra high-rise ­developer, Greenland Group. 
The deal, which could net the racing club about $45 million, will fund plans for a new grandstand. But it needs Foreign Investment  Review Board approval. 
The VRC has proposed selling two parcels of land – a three-hectare site behind the main grandstand used for parking and an unused 1.05 hectare site on Epsom Road – to Greenland with the Australian Financial Review mooting a 2000-apartment project.
The VRC proposal includes demolition of the 1924 Members’ Old Grandstand with grandstand design plans being drawn up by Bates Smart Architects. The new grandstand will take a year to build and open in 2017.

Title Deeds spotted an interesting sales settlement on the Doncaster Avenue, Kensington racing strip in Sydney.
John Messara has recently sold his historic stables for $5.6 million to a property development company directed by Felix Milgrom.
Messara, chairman of Racing NSW, bought the property from the cash-strapped Australian Turf Club in 2008 for $5.772 million. Its in a prime position overlooking Randwick racecourse.
The reliable tip came from the suave racing writer Max Presnell,  currently appearing on the <a href="https://www.abc.net.au/newsradio/programs/hoofonthetill/" target="_blank">ABC News Radio Sunday mornings show</a>, Hoof on the Till during the spring carnival, who recalls the stables hosted the likes of trainer Harry "H" Darwon.
Meanwhile speculation persists that Gai Waterhouse could also sell some of her extensive stable holdings, with those in the know suggesting the stables made famous by Frank McGrath and Fil Allotta on Doncaster Avenue. Certainly not Tulloch Lodge.
Waterhouse remains on the waiting list for Randwick racecourse equine accommodation, which Presnell says is just another reason the trainer is disillusioned with Sydney.

No longer a rich man's folly, historic Fernhill at Mulgoa in race to subdivision

The most affordable NSW property sold at the weekend was 20/1 Tuggerah Parade The Entrance at $235,000.
The two bedroom, two bathroom unit (pictured below) last traded at $499,000 in a 2008 off-the-plan sale.
{yoogallery src=[images/stories/2013/10/08/ent]}
Not surprisingly the Wyong district features as the greater Sydney municipality with the second highest proportion of properties selling for a loss across the country, according to a new report, with 16.6% of June quarter resales selling for a loss.
RP Data's latest Pain &amp; Gain report found only the Gosford market to have suffered more in their study of resale prices, with 17.1% of transactions selling at a loss. 
Across Sydney 6.2% of sellers recorded a loss. Regional NSW was double at 13.5%, with the Richmond Tweed district the highest at 25.1% followed by the mid-north coast at 18%. 
<div title="Page 4">
<div>
<div>
<div>
The highest proportion of loss making re-sales were located in the Gold Coast (36.3%); Far North Queensland (34.6%) and the Sunshine Coast (29.9%).
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
The weekend's resale at The Entrance reflects the RP Data report finding that the majority of the loss-making sales were apartments based in lifestyle regions. 
The weekend sale came five years after its off the plan purchase and four years after the 2009 completion of the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.raywhite.com/nsw/the-entrance/1000971/">Riviera</a> complex (pictured below), but there are many Central Coast buyers caught up, with even earlier purchases, in the continuing tourism coastal apartment property market malaise.
<img alt="riviera_0000_1.jpg" height="353" width="470" src="/images/stories/2013/10/09/riviera_0000_1.jpg.jpg">
It extends back to vendors still unable to secure the prices paid in the 2003 boom.
I had a look at the 25 unit Riviera complex and note the weekend sale was the seventh resale in the Tuggerah Parade block at huge losses over the past two year. RP Data reported the median Wyong municipality loss during the June quarter was $30,000, but these are all way higher over the course of the past two years.
The biggest drop was 60% when a three bedroom unit bought in 2009 for $700,000 resold in 2011 at $280,000.
A $650,000 purchase in 2009 also resold at $300,000 in 2011.
A $610,000 purchase in 2008 resold at $280,000 in 2011.
A two bedroom that fetched $550,000 in 2009 resold in 2012 at $250,000.
A $550,000 purchase in 2009 resold in $240,000 in 2012.
A $499,000 acquisition in 2009 resold at $235,000 in 2012.
The complex has a huge swimming pool, decked out with BBQ and lounge areas. There is an onsite gym and games area as well as underground parking.
You can't tell me that these sales aren't at under replacement value.

Half price NSW Central Coast apartment sale highlights regional coastal property malaise

<html><body>
When champion swimmer Ian Thorpe paid US$879,000 in 2006 for his two-bedroom Hollywood Hills hideaway in Laurel Canyon, a wooded oasis behind West Hollywood's Sunset Boulevard, it equated to AU$1.15 million in the likely currency transaction.
It was his home base when in training between Olympics.
The home, described as a treehouse, has now been listed for sale through Jo O'Key at Brock Real Estate at US$999,000.
So while he hopes to sell at a higher property price, he could repatriate back just the $1.05 million.
Overlooking Los Angeles from the treetops in the Laurel Canyon haven, it comes with a bit of history of Hollywood glamour. The bohemian 960-square-foot bungalow is set in a secluded 5063 square foot location, built by an undisclosed actor in 1961.
The house, with Japanese architectural influences, at <a href="https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/8522-Oak-Ct_Los-Angeles_CA_90046_M29609-49766#ixzz2gh77JVuq" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">8522 Oak Court, Los Angeles</a> (pictured below) was once inhabited by singer activist John Lennon. 
{yoogallery src=[images/stories/2013/10/08/thorpe]}
Laurel Canyon was amid the counterculture activity of the 1960s and many of the world's biggest rock stars made their homes there, including Frank Zappa, Jim Morrison and Joni Mitchell.
"Most recently the home has been owned by a celebrated Olympic athlete with multiple golds to his name," the marketing says.
"With its hillside nuances, quiet atmosphere, and engaging history, this house is perfect for anyone looking to live the Hollywood dream in world-famous Laurel Canyon."
The two-bedroom, one-and-a-half bathroom home's huge deck is covered in sun lounges and the master bedroom has sliding Japanese-style rice-paper doors and views over Hollywood.
The kitchen leads out onto open-plan living areas.
The listing is against the backdrop where Los Angeles prices are still around 20% off their peak, but the distress listing component now sits at around 28% rather than the 40% of a year ago, according to Corelogic. 
The decision of Thorpe to <a href="https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/8522-Oak-Ct_Los-Angeles_CA_90046_M29609-49766#ixzz2gh77JVuq" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">list</a> his redundant US abode follows the 2011 sale of his Sutherland Shire home on the waterfront at Port Hacking for $2.65 million to the rugby league coach Ricky Stuart. Thorpe bought it for $2.9 million in 2003 and sold for $2.65 million.

Ian Thorpe seeks US$999,000 Hollywood Hills buyer

<html><body>
The Sydney auction market started its 80% auction clearance rate some four months ago.
It's barely skipped a beat since.
Price growth has joined the party, but not every pocket of Sydney has been securing exceptionally strong gains.
Headline grabbing above-reserve auction results have been an emerging trend, but reserves can be quite subjective, and thereby aren't truly representative of the actual price movement.
But the resale of the same property provides the better indicator. Not that they are necessarily truly representative either.
One stellar resale example came in Sydney's Sandringham when a three bedroom cottage - with 2011 approved plans for a contemporary four bedroom residence - sold under the weekend auction hammer.
Set on a 520 square metre block - with polished timber floorboards and high period ceilings - the house fetched $1,411,000  through Ray Fadel of Raine &amp; Horne Sans Souci.
The auctioneer, Will Hampson of <a target="_blank" href="https://www.myauctioneer.com.au/index.php/about-us/will-hampson">My Auctioneer</a> tweeted he had secured $1,121,000 18 months ago for 15 Dickin Avenue (pictured below) when also auctioned through Ray Fadel, ie 15% annualised growth.
{yoogallery src=[images/stories/2013/10/07/sand]}
<div>
It was marketed as "perfect to live in now and re-build later, this neat and tidy sun drenched property is surrounded by quality homes which provides a great opportunity to enter the Sandringham market at an affordable price."
</div>
"Would suit down sizers, young families or owner builders."
And significantly it sold to an owner builder who after beating off rival builders will enjoy all the advantages of undertaking the work himself on his principle place of residence.
Hampson commented there had been the 10 registered bidders.
The bids came quickly, he noted, even after it was announced on the market at $1.27 million when three fought it out.
"I've been auctioneering 18 years now with 15 years of that in property and in many lately the bidding feels like I am back auctioning livestock," he tweeted.
The Sandringham property has been actively traded, selling prior to it current renovated status in October 2010 at $990,000, reflecting 9% annualised growth between 2010 and its 2012 sale. It sold at $860,000 in 2004.
It's recent rental yield was reflected after its 2012 sale when it was offered at a $700 weekly rental, a 3.2% gross yield. <a target="_blank" href="/news">RP Data</a> gives the suburb's median house price as $1,265,000 with a 3.1% gross indicative yield.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">
I just sold a house I auctioned 18 months ago for $1,121,000 today I got $1,411,000 that's $290,000 in 18 months now that's a hot auction !

</blockquote>
But the weekend auction bidding was subdued at nearby Ramsgate Beach, on Botany Bay where a triple-storey newly completed beachfront property at 6 Florence Street fell short of its $2.4 million reserve to sell for $2.3 million. It was built on its 456 square metre block that cost $890,000 in 2007.
There were seven registered bidders with four bidding. 
APM reported a five-bedroom Strathfield property was Sydney’s highest weekend auction result at $2.73 million sold through Devine Real Estate agent Roger Agha. The most affordable property reported sold at the weekend was a two bedroom unit at 20/1 Tuggerah Parade The Entrance which sold for $235,000 through Ray White Budgewoi.
There were fewer auctions due to the long weekend - just 259 - but the overall 81.8% continued the weekend before when there were about 600.
The upper north shore’s 94% success rate topped the inner west’s 91% from 81 auctions. The lower north shore secured 91% and the south had a 90% clearance rate from its 70 auctions.
While the onsite weekend rate sat above 80%, the addition of mid-week results produced an overall Sydney auction market of 78.6% which Dr Andrew Wilson, the APM senior economist described as the best September ever.

HE SAID: SADLY, NO
<img height="225" width="150" src="/images/stories/2013/09/06/jc-silhouette-5.jpg" alt="jc-silhouette-5" style="float: right;">
Although I am a devotee of the famous opera diva, I don’t think her name carries much weight anymore.
Indeed, I notice the current listing of a Warrawee residence, Kirkoswald, makes no mention of her name in its marketing campaign. Unlike previous advertising campaigns when her name was considered noteworthy. It last sold for $4.9 million in 2005.
During the height of her fame early last century, Dame Nellie Melba performed in a reception room at Kirkoswald, at 22 Warrawee Avenue (pictured below), the 1906 Victorian Free Classical style mansion designed by architect J. Burcham Clamp for Irish-born John Meloy, a master carrier from Glebe.
{yoogallery src=[images/stories/2013/10/11/war]}
'Kirkoswald' 22 Warrawee Avenue, Warrawee
These days, property listings are more likely to mention Lady Gaga’s attendance at a property - to wit, Moebius House, the Dover Heights residence as yet unsold.
Of course, Dame Nellie’s enduring association is the famous Peach Melba dessert. I recall seeing the dessert featured on an original 1890s menu displayed in a museum at Villeneuve-Loubet, a village in the South of France. This museum celebrates Auguste Escoffier, the king of celebrity chefs who created many famous dishes.
In 1893, while working as a chef at the Savoy in London, Escoffier invented Pêche Melba in honour of the Australian opera singer, and four years later he devised Melba toast. Nellie often ate at Escoffier’s restaurants while performing in Covent Garden during the late 1890s and early 1900s.
 
<img height="225" width="150" src="/images/stories/2013/09/06/mb-silhouette-4.jpg" alt="mb-silhouette-4" style="float: left;">SHE SAID: YES, OF COURSE
Dame Nellie Melba is more current than ever. Only this week her name was splashed across London following her appearance (played by Dame Kiri Te Kanawa) in the latest episode of Downton Abbey’s season four. Last month about 10.5 million people tuned in to watch the season four launch of the popular television series.
Rupert Christiansen, the opera critic of The Telegraph in Britain, noted Melba’s enduring notoriety this week. But his column gave the writers of the television series a serve by noting: “Downton Abbey got Nellie Melba all wrong. Confined to her room with a cup of tea and treated by Carson as though she was a visiting tradesperson during her visit to Downton Abbey? The real Dame Nellie Melba wouldn’t have tolerated such treatment for a nanosecond. In 1922, she had enjoyed 30 years of being received as a social equal by crowned heads and aristocrats throughout Europe, and she would only have sung at a private party as a personal favour to her host. Melba was nobody’s hireling: she called all the shots, and the Granthams and their staff would have quaked at her approach.”
With the number of expats living in London, who could be watching Downton Abbey while searching on the internet for a mansion back home in Australia, it may be a good idea for <a target="_blank" href="https://www.mcconnellbourn.com.au/buying/NSW/North-Shore-Upper/WARRAWEE/House/1P2507">McConnell Bourn </a>agent Carole MacRae to amend her advertisements for Kiroswold at Warrawee. Certainly worth adding Dame Nellie Melba’s association to the marketing of the mansion which sits on 2,640 square metres with verdant gardens, a tennis court and swimming pool.
Of course, Kirkoswald is not the only mansion connected with Melba. The immensely wealthy operatic superstar’s longest association with a Sydney property is Rose Bay’s Fernleigh Castle.
Melba rented Fernleigh Castle initially at 30 guineas a week in 1911, and seemingly stayed for two years. But the prima donna’s tenancy, like her life, was not without incident. An uproar ensued after Melba had trees chopped down to improve her harbour view from the circa 1892 sandstone mansion.
During the First World War, Melba worked tirelessly on singing tours of Australia to raise money for war charities - about £100,000, a vast sum at the time. In recognition she was made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in March 1918 “for services in organising patriotic work”.
Other homes Melba is known to have sung at include:
·     Katoota in Avenue Road, Hunters Hill, Sydney
·     Moombara, a former vice-regal residence at Port Hacking, Sydney
·     Amanbah House at Maitland (Hunter Valley NSW)
·     Coorah at Wentworth Falls (Blue Mountains NSW)
·     Como in South Yarra, Melbourne
In her twilight years, <a target="_blank" href="https://warrenfahey.com/fc_nsw-manar5">Dame Nellie had a Sydney bolthole at Manar, a gracious apartment building at 42 Macleay Street, Potts Point.</a>
Coombe Cottage at Coldstream, a small town situated at the gateway to the beautiful Yarra Valley and about 50 kilometres east of Melbourne, was her home. The property is now owned by her great-grandsons, Lord Samuel Vestey and the Hon. Mark Vestey.
Born Helen 'Nellie' Porter Mitchell on 19th May 1861, Melba was the first Australian to achieve international recognition as a classical musician. In later life she set up a music school at Richmond which she merged into the Melbourne Conservatorium.

HE SAID: CAUTION<img height="225" width="150" src="/images/stories/2013/09/06/jc-silhouette-5.jpg" alt="jc-silhouette-5" style="float: right;">
It will be interesting to see how this listing performs as while there's been nice recent strong price growth just three along, this one looks a bit trickier to gauge.  
It was only a few weeks ago the dearest home in the 2011 Block Richmond renovation series resold for the first time. 
It was the three bedroom 37 Cameron Street Richmond cottage renovated by Josh and Jenna who had a $950,000 Block 2011 auction reserve.
Their Edwardian cottage sold under the television bright lights for $1 million. Its recent auction price guidance was $1 million plus. And it fetched $1,147,500.
Rod and Tania's auction reserve was $850,000, and while it didn't sell on the day, the couple's handiwork secured an ensuing $922,000 sale at an impromptu Jellis Craig onsite auction attended by six parties.
Just one of the interested parties had been at the auction, with the other five having only seen the property passed in on television. <a target="_blank" href="https://www.propertyobserver.com.au/victoria/take-two-auction-frenzy-as-only-one-offering-left-on-the-block/2011082351266">I called it an auction frenzy</a>.
It's now been listed by a Melbourne investment couple.
The current marketing for 43 Cameron Street has the price estimate as $900,000 plus. 
RP Data suggests the median Richmond house price sits at $773,000 which is down on the $800,000 median around the time of the 2011 auction, so best any interested parties don't get carried away in a mix of Block afterglow and Melbourne's current price spike. 
<img height="225" width="150" src="/images/stories/2013/09/06/mb-silhouette-4.jpg" alt="mb-silhouette-4" style="float: left;">SHE SAID: CAUTION
Ignore all the fun the hit television series generated and just figure out its fundamentals.
Especially if you are an investor because the rental returns have been diminishing over the past two years.
Indeed the neighbouring cottage recently became available for rent again and the investor was set to get even less return on the initial $860,000 outlay. It was Katrina and Amie's house at 41 Cameron Street which was listed at $950 a week shortly after the big 2011 auction and then next became available for lease at $895 a week. 
The indicative gross rental yield for <a target="_blank" href="/news" title="Richmond">Richmond</a> houses is an ordinary 3.8%, according to RP Data.
Another Block cottage was offered - at 39 Cameron Street - with a weekly $1,250 asking rent after the 2011 auction and then a year later at $1,000 a week.
Ofcourse there are good tax depreciation prospects, but be sure to get a building inspection report before its October 26 auction.
And don't forget to check out the impact of the Coles Property Group's 11 storey redevelopment of Richmond Plaza - it includes the carpark just across the road from the front facade of Banstead Cottage.
Nothing much in the metropolitan press since it was first mooted after the television series in late 2011, but I see the VCAT approval came through not so long ago for the 12,840 square metre site.

The Princeton, Double Bay penthouse of the late interior design doyen Leslie Walford, has been sold a year after its listing.
The $3.25 million sale occurred four months after being passed in without bid at auction which sought bids of around $4 million. 
{yoogallery src=[images/stories/2012/09/oct3penthouse]}
It had a most recent asking price of $3.695 million. Limited access to the penthouse for its inevitable renovation proved a major price constraint.
Its was listed through Christies International agent Ken Jacobs in conjunction with Paul Biller and Brad Caldwell-Eyles at 1st City-Hasemer+Caldwell.Eyles.
It was listed by Walford's partner, Colin Davies.
<a target="_blank" href="https://www.kenjacobs.com.au/570519/">The penthouse </a>with 279 square metre garden terracing sits atop the 1939 Art Deco Double Bay complex <a target="_blank" href="https://www.1stcity.com.au/Sales-Detail.aspx?id=HCES310&amp;wlid=6b1ab8d1-ec90-4a87-bd6f-d06af343fd52">with northerly views</a> across the harbour to Manly.
{yoogallery src=[images/stories/2013/10/03/dou]}
The Princeton interiors showcased the tastes of Walford, who retired seven years ago after an international career spanning five decades.
The bones of the apartment remained with polished timber floorboards, high vaulted ceilings, ornate cornices, curved bay windows and french doors.
The funeral of the doyen of Sydney interior decorators Leslie Walford was held at St Marks, Darling Point in February 2012.
The Society of Interior Designers suggests Walford was one of the best-known figures in Australia in interior design having worked at the top levels of design for several decades, not only in Australia but also in Europe, Asia and the UK.
His business, Walford and Horgan Interiors – regarded by many as a byword for excellence in design – had many wealthy clients that included the media tycoons Reg Grundy and the Fairfax, Murdoch and Packer families.
The initial Double Bay purchase cost $125,000 in 1975 with the space expanded to 500 square metres after another purchase in 1978 costing around $40,000.

Buying into a masterplanned community often means committing to a vision still years from taking shape. At <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kew-tallawong-23-27-schofields-road-tallawong-nsw-2762">Kew Tallawong</a>, that vision is already visible.

Residents have moved into the completed first stage, landscaped spaces are established, and the next chapter is now underway. Stage 1 has been completed and settled, with Stage 2 now selling off-the-plan.

Designed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/pbd-architects">PBD Architects</a>, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kew-tallawong-23-27-schofields-road-tallawong-nsw-2762">Kew Tallawong</a> combines attainable apartment living with sustainability initiatives rarely seen at this price point, including rooftop solar, battery storage and a resident EV-sharing program.

Located on Schofi​elds Road, just moments from Tal​lawong Metro Station and Schof​ields Train Station, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kew-tallawong-23-27-schofields-road-tallawong-nsw-2762">Kew Tallawong</a> has been designed to appeal to a broad mix of buyers, from first-home purchasers looking for a foothold in Sy​dney's property market to downsizers seeking a connected, low-maintenance lifestyle.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kew-tallawong-23-27-schofields-road-tallawong-nsw-2762">Kew Tallawong</a> has been conceived as a thoughtfully planned masterplanned community that will evolve over multiple stages, with buyers now able to secure one, two and three-bedroom apartments within a neighbourhood that is already beginning to establish its identity.

One of the project's defining features is its focus on sustainability. Solar energy systems, battery storage and future EV charging infrastructure have been incorporated throughout the development, reflecting a long-term approach to both environmental performance and everyday convenience.

Sustainability sits at the centre of the development's vision, with solar energy systems, battery storage and future EV charging infrastructure integrated throughout the community.

That emphasis on future-ready living extends beyond the technology. Landscaped communal gardens, outdoor gathering spaces and plans for a future retail precinct aim to create a neighbourhood where residents can access daily conveniences without travelling far from home.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149637 project_image_fid=351027]

The apartments themselves have been designed with liveability front of mind. Rather than chasing maximum density, the focus has been placed on creating practical homes with generous natural light, usable layouts and strong connections to outdoor space.

Importantly, these design principles have been applied consistently across the one, two and three-bedroom apartment offerings.

The appeal of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kew-tallawong-23-27-schofields-road-tallawong-nsw-2762">Kew Tallawong</a> is also closely linked to its location within Syd​ney's rapidly evolving north-west growth corridor. Over the past decade, major infrastructure investment has transformed the area, with new transport links, business precincts and community facilities reshaping suburbs like Talla​wong and Schofiel​ds.

The agent says buyers are increasingly recognising the area's long-term potential.

"Typical buyers that we're finding across <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kew-tallawong-23-27-schofields-road-tallawong-nsw-2762">Kew Tallawong</a> especially are your first-home buyers, your investors, your upsizers as well as your downsizers," Hawes says.

Connectivity remains one of the project's strongest drawcards. Residents have access to both Tallaw​ong Metro Station and Schofi​elds Train Station, providing links to the Sydn​ey CBD, Norw​est Business Park, Macquari​e Park and other major employment hubs. Retail centres including Rous​e Hill Town Centre and Sch​ofields Village are also nearby, alongside schools, parks and future healthcare infrastructure.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149637 project_image_fid=351031]

For Stage 1 resident Roji, it is the balance between convenience and comfort that has defined the experience of living at Kew.

"For me, it's a balance of quality and convenience," she says. "Everything I need is right here."

"If I wanted to catch the train, Scho​fields Station is just around the corner. Tallaw​ong Metro connects me to the city."

More importantly, she says, the development has delivered something that cannot be measured in floorplans or specifications.

"<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kew-tallawong-23-27-schofields-road-tallawong-nsw-2762">Kew Tallawong</a> feels like home."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=149637 project_image_fid=351024]

As Stage 2 enters the market, that lived experience may be one of the project's strongest selling points. Buyers are not purchasing into an untested concept or a future promise. They are joining a community that is already taking shape.

Ongoing investment in transport, retail, healthcare and public open space continues to strengthen the appeal of Syd​ney's north-west growth corridor, while <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kew-tallawong-23-27-schofields-road-tallawong-nsw-2762">Kew Tallawong</a>'s established first stage provides buyers with a tangible sense of the community's future direction.

For a limited time, buyer can secure a new home at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/kew-tallawong-23-27-schofields-road-tallawong-nsw-2762">Kew Tallawong</a> with just a $10,000.

Kew Tallawong: A growing community taking shape in Sydney's north-west

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/freecity">Freecity</a> has received development approval for its 51-storey mixed-use tower at 153-157 Walker Street, North Sydney, set to be one of the tallest mixed-use residential-led buildings in one of Sydney’s most sought-after commercial and residential addresses.

Lodged as a State Significant Development Application (SSDA) through the Housing Delivery Authority (HDA) pathway and approved by the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure following a comprehensive public exhibition and submissions process, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/153-walker-street-north-sydney-nsw-2060">the project</a> will deliver 296 apartments, alongside a 170-room, luxury hotel, activated retail and significant public domain improvements.

Situated just 200 metres from Victoria Cross Metro Station, on one of the largest developable sites in North Sydney, the development will rise to 234 metres, making it one of the tallest buildings in the suburb. With an end value of approximately $1.5 billion, the project responds directly to the NSW Government’s mandate to accelerate housing delivery in well-located, transit-connected areas.

<img alt="Freecity gets green light for mixed-use residential and hotel tower in North Sydney" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="192ec455-94bf-4e01-83ef-922b1b269d67" src="https://s3.ap-southeast-2.amazonaws.com/www.urban.com.au/s3fs-public/inline-images/Freecity%20-%20Walker%20Street%20North%20Sydney%201%20RESIZED%20.jpg?VersionId=Bzqp0SBHCDvLAHjA4QXkjuGoOEIh73Jl" />

The apartment mix will cater to a broad range of buyers, with 65 studio and one-bedroom apartments, 139 two-bedroom residences, 35 three-bedroom apartments, 48 four-bedroom homes, and nine penthouses. Residents will have access to a dedicated amenity level on Level 33, featuring a swimming pool with views towards the Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House and North Sydney CBD, as well as a gym, library, shared kitchen, lounge and outdoor entertaining areas.

The hotel will occupy the lower six levels of the building and include meeting and function spaces, a wellness centre with gym, yoga studio, swimming pool and sauna, further strengthening North Sydney's growing hospitality offering.

At ground level, the development has been designed to improve pedestrian connections through the precinct. More than 700 sqm of retail space will activate the street frontage, while a landscaped through-site link connecting Walker Street, Little Walker Street and Doris Fitton Park will provide new public open space with seating, paving and extensive native landscaping.

Freecity Group Co-Founder and Joint CEO Tony Sun said the project represents one of the most significant development opportunities currently available in North Sydney.

"This is one of the most significant development sites in North Sydney and it comes at a pivotal moment for the precinct," Sun said.

"North Sydney is undergoing a genuine transformation, and this project will contribute housing the city urgently needs while creating a landmark destination."

Executive Director of Development Michael Romano said demand for both residential and hotel accommodation would continue to strengthen as the Metro precinct matures.

"The structural demand for high-quality housing and hotel accommodation in North Sydney is compelling, and will only grow as the precinct continues to evolve around the new Metro station," Romano said.

Architectus has designed the tower, orientating the apartments to maximise views towards Sydney Harbour while introducing a sculpted façade intended to respond to light, wind and the surrounding skyline.

Architectus Principal Marko Damic said the design sought to create a tower that contributes to the public realm as much as the skyline.

"We wanted to design a tower that doesn't just sit in the skyline but actively participates and contributes to city life," Damic said.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/abadeen">Abadeen</a> and <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/perifa">PERIFA</a> have celebrated the topping out of <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/putney-wharf-harbourfront-precinct-20-waterview-street-putney-nsw-2112">Putney Wharf,</a> marking a significant milestone in the delivery of one of Syd​ney's most anticipated waterfront communities.

Located on Sydney's harbourfront at <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developments/putney-nsw-2112">Putney</a>, the project has now reached its highest structural point, with construction progressing strongly towards completion in 2027. 
&nbsp; 
The milestone was celebrated on-site with project partners Phoenix Property Investors, Mitsubishi Estate Asia, Versatile Construction, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/architects/sjb-architects">SJB</a>, consultants and stakeholders, to recognise the collective effort behind the transformation of the historic waterfront site into a vibrant new residential, marina and lifestyle destination.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13962 project_image_fid=362240] 
&nbsp; 
<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/putney-wharf-harbourfront-precinct-20-waterview-street-putney-nsw-2112">Putney Wharf</a> will deliver a mix of waterfront residences and terraces, complemented by a private 36-berth marina, waterfront dining opportunities and a revitalised foreshore designed to reconnect the community with the river's edge. 
&nbsp; 
Abadeen Executive Chairman and Founder Justin Brown said the project represented a rare opportunity to create the next chapter in Sydn​ey's long history of successful waterfront precincts. 
&nbsp; 
"Throughout Sydney, some of the city's most sought-after addresses have emerged from carefully considered waterfront precincts such as Woolloom​ooloo Wharf, Walsh Bay and Breakfast Point," Brown said.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13962 project_image_fid=362566] 
&nbsp; 
"What makes these places so successful is that they become much more than residential developments," Brown said.

"They bring together homes, hospitality, marina facilities, public spaces and a strong sense of community in locations where future supply is incredibly limited."

Brown has long described absolute waterfront land in Sy​dney as "finite."

"Once these opportunities are developed, they are rarely replicated. That's why Syd​ney's waterfront precincts have consistently demonstrated strong demand and long-term value growth over many decades. 
&nbsp; 
"<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/putney-wharf-harbourfront-precinct-20-waterview-street-putney-nsw-2112">Putney Wharf</a> is one of the few remaining opportunities to secure a residence within a masterplanned waterfront community that combines direct water access, marina ownership opportunities and a genuine village lifestyle just moments from the Sy​dney CBD."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13962 project_image_fid=362564] 
&nbsp; 
PERIFA Founder and Managing Director Fabrizio Perilli said the project reflected a shared commitment to delivering exceptional places that create long-term value for residents and the broader community. 
&nbsp; 
"The topping out milestone is a significant achievement for the Versatile Group and a testament to the collaboration between all project partners, consultants and contractors involved," Perilli said. 
&nbsp; 
"Beyond the residences themselves, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/putney-wharf-harbourfront-precinct-20-waterview-street-putney-nsw-2112">Putney Wharf</a> will establish a new waterfront destination that celebrates the history, character and lifestyle of this unique location while creating a lasting legacy for future generations."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=13962 project_image_fid=291195] 
&nbsp; 
Construction is being delivered by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/builders/versatile">Versatile Construction</a>, with structural works now substantially complete across the precinct. Attention will progressively shift to the construction of the waterview terraces, apartment façades, services and interior fit-out works over the coming months. 
&nbsp; 
With limited residences and marina berths remaining, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/putney-wharf-harbourfront-precinct-20-waterview-street-putney-nsw-2112">Putney Wharf</a> continues to attract strong interest from owner occupiers and downsizers seeking a premium waterfront lifestyle within close proximity to Putne​y Village, Rh​odes, Top Ry​de and the Syd​ney CBD. 
&nbsp; 
As one of the last opportunities to secure a residence within a new masterplanned waterfront community on Sy​dney Harbour, <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/putney-wharf-harbourfront-precinct-20-waterview-street-putney-nsw-2112">Putney Wharf</a> is expected to remain a highly sought-after address for years to come.

Abadeen, PERIFA, top out Putney Wharf harbourfront precinct

Kew has long been regarded as one of Melbourne's premier residential suburbs. It's a location defined by its grand period homes, leafy streets and some of the city's most prestigious schools, yet it has often sat just outside the spotlight cast on neighbouring Hawthorn and Camberwell.

Increasingly, however, buyers are recognising that Kew offers much of what draws people to those suburbs, with a quieter residential setting, exceptional amenity and long-term owner-occupier appeal.

Within a few minutes' walk, residents can access Kew Junction, one of Melbourne's most established village centres. Cafés, bakeries, restaurants, supermarkets, boutique retailers and everyday services are all on the doorstep, with local favourites including Centonove, Adeney Milk Bar Cafe, and Frank &amp; Harri creating the type of walkable lifestyle that has become increasingly difficult to find in Melbourne's inner east. Beyond the immediate neighbourhood, Glenferrie Road's renowned shopping and dining precinct in Hawthorn and the retail, dining and entertainment offerings of Camberwell Junction are both just a short drive or tram ride away.

The suburb is equally well connected. Tram routes 48 and 109 provide direct access to the CBD, while High Street and Cotham Road connect residents to the wider inner east.&nbsp;Nearby access to the Eastern Freeway also places the Yarra Valley, Mornington Peninsula and Melbourne Airport within easy reach, adding another layer of convenience for weekend travel.&nbsp;It's a rare combination of connectivity and tranquillity, where quiet residential streets sit just moments from some of Melbourne's most established shopping and lifestyle precincts.

For families, Kew remains one of Melbourne's most tightly held addresses. Carey Baptist Grammar School, Xavier College, Methodist Ladies' College, Trinity Grammar, Ruyton Girls' School and Genazzano FCJ College are all nearby, while the Yarra River parklands, walking trails and sporting clubs provide another layer of lifestyle appeal.

It's within this established pocket that developer Ricdanic is delivering <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/wimba-ave-kew-9-11-wimba-avenue-kew-vic-3101">Wimba Ave</a>, a boutique collection of just 13 residences across two buildings named after its location on the tree-lined Wimba Avenue,&nbsp;within one of Kew's most prestigious pockets where homes have been known to sell up to and above $8 million.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140755 project_image_fid=354809]

The residences prioritise the space that buyers are increasingly searching for but struggling to find in established suburbs. Living areas extend beyond five metres in width, ceiling heights range from three to five metres, and apartments open onto private gardens averaging around 125 sqm. Selected residences also feature balconies of approximately 60 sqm, while premium inclusions include Miele appliances, double-glazed windows, EV readiness, fully electric systems and a 7.2 NatHERS energy rating.

Architect Chris Idle says opportunities to deliver homes of this scale within established suburbs have become increasingly uncommon.

"There are very few opportunities to do these kinds of developments in leafy, established suburbs," he says. "To get this level of amenity, natural light, and architectural freedom in such a setting is extremely rare."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=140755 project_image_fid=366267]

The architecture draws on Kew's established character through the use of handmade Krause bricks, while landscaping by John Patrick introduces 23 plant species, including nine native varieties, creating an environment which focuses just as much on nature as it does the building.

Construction on Wimba Ave is well underway by renowned high-end builder Sinjen, with completion expected in late 2027. Prices start from $2.22 million.

[smartcode_project_cta:default project_id=140755]

The enduring appeal of Kew's tree-lined streets and village lifestyle

"For me, it's the location." That was the first thing Chris pointed to when reflecting on why he and his wife Marita decided to purchase at Candela Ivanhoe, the under-construction new apartment development by Salter Brothers in the heart of the north-eastern M​elb​ourne​ suburb. ​

"We've lived here before… everything is here," Chris said.

"Our doctor is around the corner, there's dentists, pilates, everything we need, restaurants, fast food places, two train stations, Ivanhoe and Darebin, both in walking distance. You don't need anything else."

<iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/X8K0Bozug7A?si=Puwc6vx_ZO0qQZF8" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe>

Just 10 kilometres from Melbo​urn​e's CBD, Ivanhoe combines direct city connectivity with the amenity of an established village community. Residents have access to highly regarded schools, expansive parklands, public transport, and a thriving retail and hospitality precinct centred around Upper Heidelberg Road, all within a neighbourhood that has retained its leafy character despite its proximity to the city.

<a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/new-apartments/candela-ivanhoe-40-upper-heidelberg-road-ivanhoe-vic-3079">Candela Ivanhoe</a> sits within the heart of this established landscape, positioned just moments from Ivanhoe Village and within walking distance of many of the suburb's most sought-after amenities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=364553]

From Candela, residents can access cafés, grocers, wine bars, restaurants and essential services on foot, while Ivanhoe Station and Darebin Station provide direct connectivity across Mel​bour​ne. The development is also surrounded by some of the suburb's best-known lifestyle destinations, including Pinkie, Laurent, Enni, Docasa and Woodfire Pizza e Cucina, alongside Ivanhoe Plaza, Woolworths, pharmacies and specialty retailers.

Green space is another defining feature of the suburb. Darebin Parklands, Ivanhoe Park, Nellie Ibbot Park and the Yarra River trail network provide extensive opportunities for recreation, while Ivanhoe Golf Course and Ivanhoe Tennis Club continue to underpin the area's long-established lifestyle appeal.

The suburb's education offering further strengthens demand. Ivanhoe Grammar School, Ivanhoe Girls' Grammar School, Mary Immaculate Primary School and Ivanhoe Primary School have helped establish the area as one of Melbou​​rne's most sought-after schooling precincts, attracting families and downsizers alike who want to remain connected to the area.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=357510]

While location was the priority for Marita and Chris, the project itself also needed to meet their expectations.

"Whilst location was paramount, I was also looking at design of the environment and Candela ticked every box," Marita said.

"We're just thrilled with our choice."

[smartcode_project:default project_id=342 project_image_fid=336455]

Developed by <a href="https://www.apartments.com.au/developers/salter-brothers">Salter Brothers</a>, Candela Ivanhoe has been designed to complement its village setting, with an emphasis on generous floorplans, natural light and practical everyday living.

Residents will have access to a range of shared amenities, including a communal rooftop garden and dedicated residential lounge, complemented by a ground-floor café and lifestyle wellbeing centre, helping foster the sense of community already emerging among future owners.

That approach has resonated strongly with the market. More than 90 per cent of purchasers at Candela Ivanhoe are owner-occupiers, with buyers ranging from downsizers and second-home buyers to young families and first home buyers, creating a genuinely multi-generational community of grandparents, parents and children. It reflects a broader shift across Melbo​​urne's apartment market, where buyers are increasingly prioritising neighbourhood quality, lifestyle amenity and long-term liveability.

Currently under construction by Ironside, Candela Ivanhoe comprises 58 apartments. Candela Ivanhoe is scheduled for completion in the coming months, and residents can move in from September. One to four bedroom residences, prices from $649,000 and limited opportunities remaining.
