From high-end sailing to sellingCRUISING to some of the world’s mostexotic holiday destinations in a multi-million-dollar yacht is a lifestyle most of us can onlydream of, but for western suburbs real estateagent Andrew Clarke it was all in a day’s work.
Before joining the team at Browne Grove &Associates in Claremont,Andrew followed hisother passion in life – sailing.
His work began in the south of France,before becoming captain of several large luxuryyachts for some of the wealthiest families in theworld.
“We would charter a yacht for $500,000(US dollars) a week,’’ he said.
“Being one of the most expensive holidays inthe world, the clientele would expect the high-est possible level of service, and this was alwaysgiven, with many becoming repeat clients andexpressing it was the best time they have everhad in their life.
“From there, many clients asked me toarrange a yacht to be built for them, and I builtone in Holland for over $100 million
(Australian dollars).”When Andrew is not selling property, he is
out on the water in his boat, enjoying time withhis family.
“Boats are my favourite pastime. I met mywife in Fort Lauderdale on a boat, on our firstserious date I cruised with her around Corsicafor 10 days on a 32-foot sail boat and my sonwas conceived on a boat in St Tropez,’’ he said.
“My brother and I also have our own busi-ness selling the boat brand Luhrs.
“Boating is very much a part of my family.”When he’s not out on the water, Andrew is
selling real estate in Perth’s most prestigioussuburbs.
He began his real estate career as a traineevaluer after graduating from Curtin Universitywith a Bachelor of Business degree.
“People ask what yachting has to do withreal estate, and it’s the highest possible level ofservice and dealing with some of the wealthiestbusiness people in the world and understand-ing their expectations,’’ he said. ■
Agent tells of a glamorous former life. BY CARMELLE WILKINSON
Design reflects Cottesloe’s beachside vibe
AFTER remaining vacant for a number ofyears, a parcel of land on Brixton Street inCottesloe will be transformed into a vibrantmixed-use development.
Set to include 13 one- and two-bedroomapartments and six boutique offices, Brixton6011 is just seconds to the popular cafe andrestaurant precinct on Napoleon Street.
Designed by award-winning Perth-basedMatthews Architecture, the design gives carefulconsideration to the coastal location, and thematerials were inspired by the relaxed, coastalshacks that once dotted the coastline of thearea.
The apartments range in size from 51sq m to84sq m (internal only) and there is a choice oftwo contemporary internal colour schemes
featuring glass splashbacks, stone benchtops,European-style appliances, chrome fixtures,quality floor coverings, airconditioning and spa-cious external balconies or courtyards.

Winter could behot for salesTHE cooler weather could provide aray of hope for astute property sellers.
According to Peard Real EstateGroup CEO Peter Peard, winter pro-vides a window of opportunity for thosewanting to sell their home.
“There tends to be less competitionfrom other homeowners who generallywait until spring to sell their property,’’he said.
“This is particularly the case in coastalareas with Peard generally recording ajump of over 20 per cent in listingsbeginning from October in oceansidesuburbs such as Mindarie, Illuka, Hillarys,Sorrento and further south in Rocking-ham and Mandurah.
“Another advantage is that potentialbuyers who are active in the housingmarket during winter tend to be morecommitted and focused on purchasing anew home.”
Before putting their home on themarket in winter, sellers needed to makesure their home was attractive to poten-tial buyers.
“Make sure your gardens are wellpresented during the winter monthsbecause the street appeal of the proper-ty is generally a big selling point for ahome,’’ he said.
“It is a good investment to fertiliseyour lawns regularly to keep them greenand strategically placing plants in the gar-den which bloom during the wintermonths. It is also proven that peoplereact more favourably to propertyshown under bright light than dark, sosellers should maximise the light enter-ing the home, such as having homeopens around lunch time and opening alldrapes and blinds and turning on lights.”
Mr Peard said your home should bealso be warm and inviting. “If you haveheating in your home make sure that ...the air temperature in the home is at acomfortable level,’’ he said.
Mr Peard advised taking a flexibleapproach to home inspections, as atten-dance during weekend home openscould sometimes be low. ■

Cool summer living is a breezeWITH expansive parkland oppo-site, South Fremantle’s vibrant cafeand restaurant scene nearby, andthe water’s edge just a stone’sthrow away, this charming cottageoccupies an enviable position.
It was designed to mirror thestyle of a Florida beach house andbehind the weatherboard exteriorlie cosy, inviting rooms that arebrimming with character.
The functional layout comprisesspacious, timber-floored living anddining areas at the front of the2003 home that unite with a mod-ern, white kitchen in an open plan.
A theatre room offers access toa private rear courtyard which fea-tures a pizza oven and vine-cov-ered arbour over an outdoor set-ting, making it perfect for enter-taining.
The owner’s favourite room, themaster bedroom, is upstairs andhas uninterrupted views to Rot-tnest Island.
“At night, we fall asleep to thesound of the waves on SouthBeach and the flicker from Rot-
tnest’s lighthouse,” he told Residen-tial.
“The enclosed balcony adjoiningthe room is a perfect space for mywife’s art room, or breakfast over-looking the activities at WilsonPark or the beach.”
Two minor bedrooms, a studynook, bathroom and self-containedstudio with ensuite on the upperlevel also have homely charm.
The house’s clever design notonly maximises the ocean viewsbut the cooling effect of the Fre-mantle sea breeze, eliminating theneed for airconditioning.
According to the owner, SouthFremantle has a great community.
“We adore all our neighboursand there is no shortage of veran-dahs to sit on and have a drinkwhile watching the most amazingsunsets,” he said.
“Living here really is a treat,witha million things on your doorstep.

WHEN the owners of this residence begansearching for a family home in the MountHawthorn/Joondanna area some two years ago,they found that many houses and townhouseswere too small, had finishes that weren’t up toscratch and featured poorly-designed kitchens.
But not 76 Baden Street.“It just ticked all of our boxes,” one of the
owners explained. “The rooms were huge, themaster ensuite was bigger than some of the bed-rooms we’d seen, and the entire house had a spa-cious and airy feel.
“The kitchen came with the right-sized oven, acooktop and heaps of cupboard and storagespace.
“The Caesarstone benchtops were an addedbonus because they’re so easy to keep clean andhave proven to be a fantastic surface for rollingout pasta and pizza dough.”
The sleek, chef-style kitchen is the hub of thehome, which was built on a 333sq m survey stra-ta block by Weststyle Homes in 2009.
It is where the owner can often be foundcooking up a storm, with family and friends enjoy-ing her culinary creations in the dining room orpaved rear courtyard, which is ideal for alfrescodinner parties.
The home’s downstairs accommodation alsoincludes a study, living room and bedroom withwalk-in robe and well-appointed ensuite with
basin, shower and toilet.Polished timber flooring unites the light-filled
lower level while rich chocolate brown carpetcontinues the neutral colour scheme upstairs,where two of the three bedrooms are servicedby bathrooms.
There is a living area that leads to a balcony,where the sweeping suburban views can beenjoyed while sipping a cocktail.
Centrally located, this modern abode is sure toappeal to families who desire spacious roomswith good separation and quality, contemporaryfittings.
In the meantime, Residential West will eagerlyawait an invitation to the next dinner party.
We hear the owner’s flourless orange andalmond cake is simply divine. ■

Dina, on the other hand has adiploma in interior design from theUK and has been a fabric buyer for20 years, mainly selecting fabricsfrom the UK.
“Seeing a finished piece of furni-ture in different fabrics and how indi-vidual it turns out with the correctfabric choice keeps on inspiring us,’’she said.

“A well-designed piece of furni-ture can help transform a room,’’Dina said.
