Sometimes your home just needs a few special touches to transform it. This stunning, contemporary Californian bungalow is a home built for entertaining with family and friends.

Maxwell Constructions Geelong home renovations team converted the home from run-down to luxury – custom-built to feature four modern bedrooms and two bathrooms for stylish family living.

The client wanted to respect the home’s original weatherboard exterior, internal 3.3-metre-high ceilings and cornices, which were integrated into the renovation design.

Extending the back of the house and adding a second storey, the addition of steel allowed the family to build a wide and well-lit, open-planned living area with a large kitchen and gas fireplace.

The internal open-planned living area seamlessly expands into the backyard through a 4.8-metre bi-folding door, for easy access to the ultimate entertainment area, including balcony and pool.

Fitted with modern cabinetry and finishes throughout, our client wanted a fuss-free, family-friendly home without missing out on modern touches, installing a contemporary, handle-free kitchen and gorgeous black butt timber flooring throughout the first floor.

Devoted to the parents, the second storey features a spacious bedroom, with a private balcony overlooking the landscaped backyard. Spanning from the bedroom is a large, luxurious walk-in robe and open-planned bathroom with a double shower – the perfect retreat.
