318 Belair Road, Lynton, SA 5062

Come and Live with Panoramic Views and Love the Potential!
Inspired by renown Adelaide Architect Ian Hannaford and built in 1965 - it's a classic!

In every room, 180-degree views of the Adelaide plains to the airport and city centre are captivating! The north-west aspect is perfect, and just imagine living every day with big-sky sunsets and a horizon of blue sea from Somerton Park to Henley Beach. 

Belair Road is the gateway to the metro-foothills where the Windy Point restaurant and lookout are just up the road. Living here provides that real feeling of disconnect and yet it's so convenient - the urban lifestyle is all in front of you, and you can see it! 

The home is privately nestled into its 1247sqm allotment - ideally on the low side of the road where you can take every advantage of a backyard environment with abundant potential! A concrete driveway turns into a large double carport with turn-around space and off-street parking for visitors. 

Contemporary homes of the 60's with an Architectural influence in design and style, were most often built with a vision and a certain quality that give them their timeless appeal. Here at #318, Architect Ian Hannaford celebrates a complex simplicity with raw materials like concrete, timber and glass - and together with a few quirks and unique features, he created a home that has been cherished by one family and is truly one-of-a-kind. 

The superior solid construction and suspended concrete slab floor between the levels makes this home a peaceful place to live in, and every window frames a view! The bedrooms feel private upstairs while the living areas share a practical flow and have a real sense of minimalist and space. 

• The entry with its cloak cupboard is smartly concealed from the goings-on inside with a structural blade wall that also zones the living areas. 
• Light filled main living areas combine beautifully - the kitchen is open plan to the dining that will accommodate a large table setting, and the sunken lounge-living room with a wood-fired combustion heater and a hanging cane chair that has been there since the beginning is a wonderfully relaxing space.
• The original teak veneer kitchen may inspire a new one, but for now - it presents in excellent condition. The vertical grain and timber handles in the cabinetry are to be respected, it's a practical kitchen with good storage, raised oven, electric cooktop, a spot for the microwave, there is no need for a dishwasher with a view like that, and a large bench with a drop-down timber ceiling and lighting above is very cool!
• The laundry lives adjacent to the kitchen and provides a second entry point, while a sneaky toilet and vanity live under the stairwell where there is more handy storage. 
• Mid-century classics love the use timber and joinery and here it provides a warming contrast to the raw concrete block walls - striated timber slats frame and conceal the solid meranti staircase and is a visually appealing in front of the void area, while a bronzed wall mirror the other side reflects and both together make being at the dining table an absolute pleasure. 
• In the sunken lounge, a timber veneer wall with built-in niches that appear to float above the floor is the ideal spot for the turn-table while on the other side of the steps, a built-in raised sideboard provides storage for books and art and also serves to zone the dine and lounge. 

At the end of your day, think of kicking back in the lounge and looking out through a wall of glass windows - sunsets, breezes and night lights - no matter the season, what a tonic!

Upstairs, retreat to the bedrooms and/or a studio area. Strawboard ceilings provide insulation, have acoustic properties and like timber they provide a visual warmth. 

• There are three bedrooms - the main has a walk-in robe, while bedrooms two and three are divided by cedar bi-folds that partition the two rooms. Together, these rooms make a great studio-space and if the need is to totally separate - then a more permanent stud-wall will be a simple conversion. 
• Bedroom two has a robe and bedroom three has sliding glass doors that open to a wide concrete balcony and those amazing views - you can see Sensational Adelaide clearly!
• At the end of the hallway, the original mosaic tiled main bathroom is still very cool! In the ceiling, subtle panel-lighting is a funky feature and there is ideally a second separate toilet. 
• One bedroom has a corner desk and a library nook, there is linen store and walking along the hallway a window at the top of the stairs above the entry welcomes natural light and a glimpse of the trees outside. 

The outdoors, were once a paradise of native gardens, today it is a blank canvas to create! The land measures an impressive 1247sqm - think of weekends at home in your own backyard environment, with room to move you can see the sea and appreciate the views as you wander down to the boundary. An extended deck, outdoor living and an infinity pool perhaps - see it, dream it, and go for it! 

With external access, there is a hidden cellar-storage or perhaps hobbyist workshop, and external awnings across the back of the home are automated. 

Living in a home with a soul and matched with an outdoor living area looking over native gardens to views as far as the eye can see. Imagine Living Here.
