28 Penzance Street, Glenelg, SA, 5045, Australia

Rich in character and thoughtfully reimagined, this beautifully renovated bungalow presents a rare opportunity to secure timeless elegance in the heart of Glenelg. Originally constructed in 1913, the home has been carefully transformed to honour its heritage while delivering the comfort, efficiency and functionality expected of modern living.

All of this is just steps from restaurants, cafés, public transport and the beautiful Partridge House Gardens.

From the outset, the home's period pedigree is unmistakable. High ceilings, decorative detailing, polished timber floors, double-hung windows throughout and a single original fireplace create an immediate sense of warmth and authenticity, while a considered renovation introduces contemporary amenity with restraint and respect for the home's origins.

The home has been intelligently reinvented from its original three-bedroom, one-bathroom configuration into a spacious and well-balanced two-bedroom, two-bathroom layout, enhancing both flow and liveability. Two generous bedrooms are complemented by two beautifully appointed bathrooms, including a recently completed ensuite.

The front bedroom, complete with floor-to-ceiling built-in robes , enjoys the privacy of its own luxurious outdoor retreat. French doors, complemented by stunning plantation shutters open to the outdoors, perfect for morning coffee or quiet time with a book. Securely positioned behind high fencing and an electrically controlled gate, privacy is key in this light-filled sanctuary.

Living spaces are inviting and versatile, with a traditional formal lounge featuring north-facing windows, an open fireplace and an unmistakable ambience. The kitchen, shaped in a functional U-layout and thoughtfully retained to sit comfortably within the home's character framework, opens to a spacious dining area. It offers ample storage and practical bench space, achieving an ideal balance of authenticity and everyday functionality.

To the rear, covered outdoor entertaining provides an ideal setting for relaxed gatherings, framed by low-maintenance greenery and private gardens that enhance the sense of retreat. Perfect for your four-legged friends, entertaining guests or just enjoying the greenery.

Unique features abound, with highly desirable rear laneway access making the property ideal for those looking to install a pool, accommodate trades, or store a trailer. Inside, the roof space has been converted to provide extensive storage, offering approximately 80sqm of chipboard flooring and pull-down stairs for easy access. The options here are both endless and highly appealing.

Sustainability has been carefully incorporated without detracting from the home's heritage appeal, with 24 solar panels supported by an 8.8kW solar system and 13.5kwh Tesla battery, along with an approximately 6,000L rainwater tank ready to water your lush gardens and supporting efficient maintenance year-round.

Every update has been executed with care, ensuring the home feels cohesive, considered and enduring. This is a residence that rewards attention to detail-balancing history with liveability, and elegance with everyday ease.
