8 Gloucester Street

Glenelg South SA 5045

Going about its quiet business just one street back from the roadless Glenelg South beachside walking path, it's only fitting this light-drenched abode calls home one of the most tightly held enclaves on the metro coast, creating an unsurpassed lifestyle that will leave the rest of us green with envy.

Whether it's the timeless charm of the pristinely-preserved original bungalow or the sheer fact the current owners took four years to carefully plan and execute its circa 2019 addition, this solar-powered entertainer is proof that passing time is the most valuable commodity of all.

And there's no better way to spend your time than in a home with head-turning street presence, stately formal rooms with glorious character features, a luxurious master suite, sparkling bathrooms and prized rear-lane access to a garage with polished concrete floors and barn doors that slide open to create the ultimate 'party room'.

Rather than rushing that extension, the current owners took the time to see how the original home - and the orientation of its parcel - interacted with the sun and the four seasons.

Punctuated by its timber-lined raked ceilings, barn-style silhouette and a starring open-plan kitchen with stone tops, Smeg appliances and hand-painted joinery in two hues of green, what they created was something truly special.

From the carefully placed skylights and electric patio awning to the stackable doors, underfloor heating and high windows, every piece of its transformation plays a deliberate - and important - role in regulating supreme day-to-day comfort and functionality.

It's why the addition and 'party room' are a match made in entertainer's heaven and why the gorgeous main bathroom inhales the morning sun while you shower, perfect for washing off that sand after those early ocean swims. It's time to make every minute count.
