12 Devon Street, Mittagong

Price Guide: Sold for $1,170,000

To some it feels like a refined tree-house, others say a glamorous ski chalet, but either way this Master-Built brick and timber home with its soaring cathedral ceilings provides spacious, unique living. Base yourself in the most wonderful part of Mittagong, or use it as a family-sized weekender and wander a minute down the road to Sturt Gallery and Café, based in the grounds of renowned and historic Frensham girls' school.

The super-sized upstairs master bedroom suite (with ensuite and walk-in-robe) which also houses a study area, could easily be transformed into extra rooms. Elevated and open-plan with a fantastic conservatory hovering in the tree-scape, there are storage spaces galore, two large sheds and well-maintained facilities.

Within beautifully-tamed gum forest surrounds, the magnificent garden features fruit trees, a low-maintenance conifer garden, a tinkling fish pond, and raised vegetable beds in the flat rear garden. There are four under-cover/garaged parking spaces and several more paved parking spaces that would suit a caravan.

Very well priced and on an acre of tranquillity, other features include:

• Spectacular cathedral ceilings, approx. 16 feet high in main living
• Plentiful bore water for the garden
• Solar hot water system
• Near-new slow combustion wood fire plus split-system air conditioners
• Wrap-around covered deck
• Plenty of under-house storage with power
• Very spacious bedrooms and living

A tree-changer's delight, this rare offering is a genuine pleasure to inspect. The surrounding streets are filled with bird song, beautiful gardens and gum forest, yet you are only a short walk to the train station and excellent coffee shops.
