What's around 28 Penzance Street

SOLD BY SANDY ROBINSON

Please contact Sandy Robinson from Magain Real Estate for all your property advice. 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. Perfectly positioned to embrace the best of coastal living, this address places you moments from the vibrant Glenelg South shopping precinct, with its much-loved cafés, bars and restaurants. The golden sands of Glenelg Beach are close at hand, while Jetty Road Glenelg and the Holdfast Marina precinct are just minutes away. Everyday convenience is equally well catered for, with easy access to Glenelg Golf Club, Harbour Town Shopping Centre, Marion Shopping Complex and the SA Aquatic and Leisure Centre.

A Seamless and Supportive Home Buying Experience

We had a wonderful experience purchasing our home and couldn’t be more grateful for the support we received throughout the process. Sandy was consistently communicative, keeping us informed at every stage and always responding promptly to any questions we had. Sandy’s respectful, calm and professional approach made what can often be an extremely stressful experience feel smooth and genuinely enjoyable. We always felt supported and well guided. We are absolutely delighted with our new home and truly appreciate everything Sandy did to help us get here. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Sandy to anyone looking to buy or sell.

Very pleasant to deal with.

Sandy was personable and friendly from day one. She has a comprehensive knowledge of the real estate market in the area and knows the 'who, where and when' of things. We had one or two issues with back-end admin (e.g. typos on paperwork), but Sandy got straight onto them and had them remedied expediently. Sandy kept us up to date with how things were going at all times and, importantly, gave us the freedom to make our own decisions re ways forward without any pressure. She was always happy to share her advice and opinion but was equally happy for us to hold the reins. At the end of the day Sandy helped us achieve a good result and looking back, the process was painless. It helped a lot that Sandy was available and focused on solutions at all times. Sandy will have a successful career in real estate because of her natural ability to connect with people. Houses can sell themselves in this market, but Sandy smooths the way and manages to make the transaction calm and pleasant.
