Many renovations marry the traditional period home with a modern open plan living-dining extension. But this property showcases how an interior designer can make a large open space really sing.

Geelong interior designer Greer Mayberry was asked to bring the outdoors in. She has achieved this beautifully with contrasting green toned walls, a wallpaper feature of trees, a gas log fireplace, light timber flooring and a stunning curved chestnut wood island bench handmade by Bombora Custom Furniture in Torquay.

The large space is clearly defined between a kitchen-dining area and a lounge room and two sets of retractable doors open these areas onto outdoor decks and the garden.
It is a stunning space that provides an immediate sense of relaxation.

The elegant kitchen has all the home chef will need, from an induction cooktop, wall oven, Miele dishwasher, walk-in pantry and a great service cupboard that hides away appliances.

There is also an outdoor kitchen with a barbecue, benches and cupboards - ideal for entertaining.

Built in 1930, the original part of the home hosts three bedrooms, a family bathroom and the laundry.

Again, the interior finishes are delightful.

The main bedroom has an elegant dynamic with the double front leadlight window and feature wallpaper. It includes a walk-in robe with hanging space and drawers and a large ensuite dressed in green and cream tones.

The second bedroom, on the other side of the hallway, is young at heart with vibrant wallpaper and a fabulous bright-coloured chandelier-style light. It also a wall of mirrored cupboards.

A beautiful and spacious family bathroom opens half way along the hallway. It features a bath, double walk-in shower and an elegant vanity unit.
Other features of this property include ducted heating and cooling, remote controlled watering system and outdoor lighting, an electric hot water system, a double garage and rear access.

The family home is perfectly located, within walking distance of the vibrant Pakington St dining and shopping precinct, Sparrow Park and Ashby Primary School and within easy reach of the Geelong CBD, the Geelong Railway Station and the Ring Road.
