HOME NOTES
WHO LIVES HERE?
Brooke Greyson a full-time mum, lives here with her husband Mark, who works in the surf/skate industry, and their children Bailey, 10, Sophie, seven, and Ziggy, five.
THE PROPERTY
A classic five-bedroom beach house on the Mornington Peninsula, Melbourne, Australia, bought in 2011.
Set on an acre of land and only a stroll from the beach, Brooke and Mark knew that a cute beach house would be the perfect place to raise their children, despite needing work to improve its well-weathered appearance and tight interior spaces.
WHAT DREW YOU TO THE PROPERTY?
From the moment we laid eyes on it, we knew we had found ‘the one’. What it lacked then in mod cons, it more than made up for in charm, and we loved the land, privacy, the potential it offered and the relaxed vibe.
