Scripps lists real estate online

The E.W. Scripps Co. landed with a cyber-thud on the front porch of the American real estate industry Thursday with a new online real estate listing service called FrontDoor.com.

The company will use its cable universe and Web family of brands to partner with Century 21, Coldwell Banker, ERA and Sotheby's International Realty.

It will reach an estimated 250,000 real estate sales associates in the U.S. and another 700 independent brokerage firms.

"FrontDoor closes the loop for the millions of home enthusiasts," said John Lansing, president of Scripps Networks in Knoxville, Tenn., which reaches a universe of 95 million cable households.

The play for national real estate revenues also signals that the company is ready to tap into the value of 40,000 hours of Scripps digital programming to bring entertainment and information to the process of buying, maintaining and selling a home.

HGTV is the No. 1 home and garden content site on the Web, with users typically also visiting one or more of the top 10 real estate sites in the nation, the company said.

Now Americans looking to buy or sell a home have a Scripps Networks-affiliated listing service, officials said. "That's 11.5 percent of the market," Bliss said

FrontDoor will be part of Scripps Networks Interactive when that company breaks away from the Cincinnati-based newspaper group - a deal that is on track to close in the first quarter of 2008.

Shopzilla, uSwitch and UpMy- Street will also be part of the company.

These businesses have combined annual revenue of about $1.4 billion and 2,100 employees.

E.W. Scripps, the newspaper, broadcast television station and syndication arm, will have $1.1 billion in revenues and employ about 7,100 people after the split.

At Scripps Networks, third-quarter revenue grew 16 percent year-over-year to $289 million.

Segment profit for the division increased 18 percent to $137 million while online advertising revenue at Scripps Networks was up 31 percent to $17.3 million, driven by robust advertising at the HGTV family of brands.

Scripps shares closed Wednesday at $43.60, up 60 cents.

Real Estate Homes For Sale South Fremantle

Circa 1900, Baker House is a uniquely classical Victorian home which has undergone a restoration and renovation to make it a jewel in the crown of the heritage homes in the Fremantle area. Baker House belonged to Mr Baker, the butcher, who had the home built at the turn of the century to reflect his business success: a chain of butcher shops and meat home delivery service.

The front of the house has a wrought fence with lion posts. The front of the home is fully tuck pointed front, with an oregan front door and two french doors on the two bedrooms. Inside, polished jarrah and Baltic pine floors greet the homeowner or their guests.

The restoration and extensions have seen the original house restored to its former glory, with an in-keeping extension comprising an upstairs living area, with a large balcony, and an expansive kitchen/dining area. A kitchen built for entertaining friends or work colleagues, or a quiet meal with the family.

With four large bedrooms plus a large lounge room and second upstairs living area, the house emanates character through its ornate ceilings and roses, colour schemes, ornate fireplaces, brass fittings and jarrah woodwork. A sweeping jarrah staircase leads to an upstairs entertainment room fit for royalty.

The kitchen has the classic French “Winckelmans” tessellated tile pattern and uses American cherry wood to blend modern appliances such as the fridge and dish washer into a by gone era. An antique style brass Ilve stove, with 2 rotisserie ovens, 4 gas burners, grill and long fish burner await the discerning buyer. A brass canopy, with restaurant size fans compliments the professional chef’s stove.

Two toilets and a bathroom with shower and claw foot bath. A bidet and old fashion pull chain toilet cistern

A wine cellar lies hidden under a trap door in one of the front bedrooms. Gorgeous sweeping views to Fremantle harbour and the sea await the visitor to the upstairs balcony.

Close to schools, public transport, shopping and other amenities. 5 mins walk to cafes and beach, couple mins drive to Fremantle,which is a thriving tourist port city. The home is a ½ an hour drive to the centre of Perth

The Coach house

The former stables have been converted to a 2 storey coach house. The coach house has its own old style but rustic atmosphere. Once again, there are lots of brass fittings and jarrah and other woodwork. Although the coach house uses an open plan, there is a separate kitchen, toilet and bathroom, dining and lounge area. An upstairs mezzanine has a lounge, come fold out bed. There are 2 separate fully furnished bedrooms.

The Coach House is suitable for use as a studio/gym or has the potential for accommodation/home office (subject to Council approval). There is a 2-car carport connected to the coach house, with an electric folding door and separate laneway door.

The Coach House balcony provides views of Fremantle harbour and the sea.

The gardens

The owners spent many years lovingly cultivating a garden of nooks and crannies. A retreat from the pressures of life, different levels and walls allow the explorer to discover a Japanese waterfall and pools with gold fish, a Victorian crypt with water cascading around a bronze Neptune, statures or figurines and secluded courtyards. A herb garden adjacent to the kitchen compliments the professional Ilve stove and top of the range G.E. fridge [ice maker], waiting for the budding chef.

The courtyards are attractive as well as functional. The first courtyard sits off the master bedroom and has an Italian feel and herb garden: a place to meet the morning sun. The second courtyard contains a natural gas barbecue [no gas bottles], shading trees and space to entertain or party. This inner courtyard has an inbuilt irrigation system and consists of small walkways, rock walls, sculptures, and water features with goldfish. The final courtyard complements the Coach house and is divided from the main house by a limestone dividing wall.

All the rear gardens are enclosed in high brick wall fences and both buildings have monitored alarm system.
