558 Swamp Road, Lenswood, SA 5240 - More Details
$890,000 - $960,000
From its swing chain fencing to its 1940s charm, this adored and extended family classic has mastered the artistry of low-care garden seclusion on a gifted Lenswood allotment.
Naturally, the land is framed by orchards, but this 3300sqm parcel brings its own sweeping beauty - a botanist's dream for the retiree with time on their hands, or the life-styler who keeps busy by choice, not necessity.
Beyond the three-bedroom, two-bathroom home's inviting leadlight entry, 3m ceilings with ornate ceiling roses greet the formal lounge and adjacent formal dining room, framed and divided by feature fretwork, with each sharing the slow combustion fire's warmth.
Built last century, extended the next, and owned for some 26 years, the home's rich décor drifts from polished timber floors to exposed internal brickwork, where the third bedroom brings home office flexibility to its Austerity lineage.
In the kitchen, timber joinery, timber floors and laminate benchtops are the backdrop to a 900mm stainless cooker with an induction cooktop, against wide sash windows that make the gardens the ultimate focus.
Bedrooms two and three offer storage nooks (or the cavity for a built-in robe to come) and access to the renovated main bathroom. To the southern end, the primary bedroom enjoys private outdoor access and a walk-through robe into a heritage ensuite, starring a rose-hued pedestal vanity, a blush bath and the views – three reasons to stay soaking.
And beyond the quaint back patio, the further into those gardens you go, the more you understand why you should.
Garden islands filled with shrubs, ground covers and grasses float between extensive brick-paved pathways; a creative landscape requiring little effort for what it pays forward.
Settle in for a park bench pew to the tune of the water feature, and from the potter's shed comes more avenues to wander – you might need a trail of breadcrumbs to help…
Someone has really had fun here.
Another gate, another pocket. More shedding, quince, plums and figs, and a windbreak of tall gums against a gorgeous oak tree – ideal as an escape from summer's heat – and as a bridge crossing lets nature take its course, your course is straight to Chardonnay Corner…
Still needing a Lenswood upsell? Think rolling green countryside, established orchards, cool-climate vineyards, and a sense of space that places you within easy commuting reach of the city.
That's why the Lenswood life is so enticing.
