Get your wallets out, Adelaide! One of Adelaide’s finest views is available for purchase in Glenelg, an iconic penthouse with breathtaking 360-degree panoramas of the sea, city, and hills.
Located at the base of Anzac Highway, this two-bedroom residence is listed between $2.3 million and $2.5 million. It sits atop the building that once housed Glenelg’s renowned revolving restaurant, a favorite destination for Adelaide diners and romantics during the ’80s and ’90s.
Owned by prominent Adelaide hotelier Greg Fahey, head of the Fahey Hotel Group, and his wife Judy, the couple is selling their home after 24 years.
Ms. Fahey shared that the circular-shaped home has been completely renovated to enhance its sweeping 360-degree views of the city, coastline, and Adelaide ranges.
“We completely renovated it. Nothing was left behind, except the stairway. So it was completely gutted, you might say, and we put in big glass windows and sliding doors to get the amazing 360-degree views across Adelaide, the beach – everywhere really,” Ms. Fahey said.
“Now, as soon as you step out of the lift and straight into the penthouse, you feel all your worries just disappear. All you’re left with is this beautiful feeling of being at home.”
The luxurious apartment impresses from the moment you enter via a private residential lift. A large, open-plan living, dining, and kitchen area makes the home perfect for entertaining.
“It would have to be the best spot to watch fireworks. We’d watch the Glenelg fireworks and then run around to the other side to watch the ones in the city. I don’t think anything compares.”
“The other thing about being up high is that, on a hot day, you can just open everything up and you’ll get fresh air from somewhere. You also don’t get mosquitoes or flies either, which is always a bonus.”
