TREVOR Cook has a lot of fond memories of the property where he grew up; a property that has been in his family for 100 years.
His grandparents Sidney and Maud Sheedy moved into the house, Greycliffe, on the Promenade at Sans Souci in 1915.
Back then the area was sparsely populated with only a few houses accessible by a dirt road.
Mr Cook remembers his mother Emma telling stories of the wonderful life she had in the house, from the winding road down to the boatshed and the banana palms.
In the 1920s Sidney acquired two more properties beside the original block, one of which was bought by Trevor's parents, Emma and Stanley Cook.
After Sidney passed away in 1950 the Cooks moved into Greycliffe. They ended up owning all three blocks after Maud passed away.
In 1967 the properties were subdivided into two blocks and Greycliffe was sold.
However the family remained on the site, with Trevor and his sister Diane still living on two properties.
Mr Cook said he had lived overseas but always come back to Sans Souci.
"I've seen a lot of places but you can't beat Sans Souci," he said.
"There's no better place to be.
"Growing up there was just this openness. There was just a freedom to run around."
He said having the family still living nearby made them even closer.
"Diane and I still call in every Monday, which was a thing Mum started," he said.
"We also don't mind having Friday afternoon drinks with a few people from the neighbourhood we knew growing up."
In December the family will mark 100 years of living on the property with a small get-together, and will display some memorabilia and a collection of family items.
