13 Francis Street, Belair, SA 5052

The 1970s spawned a design movement unique to the Adelaide Hills, making this elevated Brian Snowden-designed abode something special before you even lay eyes on what might just be one of the best city views any home in South Australia has to offer.

Etched into the serene laps of Brown Hill Creek and Belair National Park, the way this 'Marshall  clinker brick home frames the cityscape through the forked branches of an old gum is something to savour, setting the scene for a home that carves out a unique outlook at every turn across its two levels.  

Recent renovations marked the next chapter of the home's curious evolution; modernising the look, increasing the comfort levels and widening that view in the process - all, somehow, without weakening a single iota of its mid-century modernist inspirations. 

A low-pitched roofline, earthy exposed brickwork, a footbridge and the oversized original timber entry door make first impressions as beautiful as the open-plan family room that defines the upper floor and steps out to a far-reaching terrace.  

Raked shadow-line ceilings, engineered timber floors, an exposed concrete entry porch/foyer and prolific use of glass create a clean, neutral aesthetic so your art, those famous Adelaide sunsets and the city's flickering lights can shine. 

The stone-draped kitchen shines too; a functional work of art at the heart of a home that serves guest accomodation on the lower floor and effortlessly opens and closes two wings above; one reserved for the ensuited main bedroom, the other serving the kids their own retreat.      

When you can watch Adelaide awaken and wind down, cows grazing on the hillside or a storm roll over the ocean from the comfort of your own bed, you really do have the best of all worlds. This really is something else.
