266 McKillop St, East Geelong, has a light and bright extension.
Renovated by the current vendors, this elegant California bungalow in the tree-lined ‘Paris end’ of McKillop St blends the original character of the property and modern luxury to create outstanding family living.
“The house may be unassuming from the front with its original Californian bungalow facade but once you come through the entry, the space opens right up and the windows bring in light and happiness,” the current vendors say.
“We always wanted to honour the home and throughout the renovation kept to her heritage. Matching architraves, skirts, cornices, and light switches give the home a consistent flow but is also a fresh modern take.”

In addition to the balance between 266 McKillop St’s heritage features and modern designs, the vendors say that spacious family living was also the focus of the renovations and something they have since reaped the benefits of.
“Our house was designed for our family to grow, especially with the children’s rooms upstairs. These days see them spending more time in their rooms and the large size gives them their own private space,” they say.
The four bedrooms of the home are set over its two levels. The first floor hosts two of the secondary bedrooms along with a study and a second living area. The third bedroom is located on the ground floor along with the main suite which includes a walk-in wardrobe and generously sized ensuite bathroom.
The style of the open-plan living area blends with the rest of the house.
Poolside entertaining is a big plus.
Situated at the heart of the home is the stunning and generously proportioned open-plan living, dining and kitchen area, perfect for hosting large gatherings.
The kitchen features a huge butler’s pantry, a beautiful marble island bench, a 900mm free- standing oven and cooktop, a dishwasher and a bi-fold servery window.
“It is hard to single out one favourite thing in the house. If I had to choose one, maybe the pantry. Many may call it a scullery for it has a huge, long bench to allow food prep, a sink, separate oven, dishwasher, fridge, and wine fridge; not to mention the floor-to-ceiling shelving to accommodate appliances, crockery, dishes, food, and drink that are covered by doors to keep it looking neat and tidy at all times,” the vendors say.
“With this space, together with the kitchen, it allows us to cook and entertain. We love it.”
There’s room to accommodate a crowd.
This bedroom has fantastic wardrobe storage.
The house has three bathrooms.
The kitchen opens onto the covered outdoor entertainment area overlooking the in-ground pool and low-maintenance back yard.
Located only 550m from the Geelong Botanic Gardens and close to local schools, public transport and the Geelong CBD, the property’s location is both central and convenient and is regularly enjoyed by the vendors.
“The area remains its beautiful self with the botanical gardens just down the road, the waterfront a short walk away and the East Geelong shopping area giving us all we need,” they say.
