Welcome to Borona, a stunning period residence that combines classic Victorian-era style with modern comforts.
Borona stands on 1116 sqm at 8 Hurt Street, Goulburn.
Built in 1890 to an incredible standard, the five-bedroom, three-bathroom home recently underwent a full transformation, completed by its current owners with great care.
Luxury additions are perfectly balanced by period features and meticulous attention to detail throughout.
From original fireplaces and ornate coloured glass to French windows and hardwood ‘basketweave’ floors, every room has a solid sense of character. Indulgent outdoor spaces include a heated pool with its own cabana, which further complements the home’s serene atmosphere.
After stepping past the pristine white picket fence, guests are led through the front garden to a striking glass-lined entrance.
“Borona is one of the finest period homes in our area, thoughtfully refurbished and loaded with character,” says Justin Gay, principal agent at Ray White Goulburn.
“As you enter, you’re presented with a range of formal and informal living spaces to explore. They’re all very spacious, with high ceilings and original fireplaces adding extra flair.
“The heart of this home has to be the custom Mill Joinery kitchen. It’s filled with natural light, equipped with top-of-the-line appliances, and features a convenient butler’s pantry.”
One bedroom resides on the ground level, perfect for guests or a parents’ retreat. The remaining four bedrooms are located upstairs.
The largest has its own ensuite and new built-in wardrobes, while the other three share a luxurious family bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tiles and a beautiful coloured glass window.
Borona is certainly elegant, but comfort and practicality are priorities here as well. Quality-of-life additions include new carpet, window treatments, a new hot water service, and heating and cooling throughout.
“The gardens at Borona will captivate green thumbs and entertainers alike,” Justin says.
“The heated swimming pool is a gorgeous centrepiece. It’s so easy to imagine relaxing in the water, or curled up in the nearby cabana with a glass of wine and a good book.”
Other additions include two new 3000-litre rainwater tanks, a remote-access irrigation system, new retaining walls, timber fencing, and garden lights, a new driveway with automatic gates, and a huge rendered brick garage.
Connected to the home via a modern breezeway, the double garage also features a large workshop and storage space to accommodate any hobby.
Goulburn is a friendly, active community known for its country-town feel, vibrant social calendar, and love of arts and culture.
Borona is set in a peaceful neighbourhood among other historic and high-quality homes. Justin believes the residence would best suit empty nesters, recent retirees, or a family with older children.
“Hurstville Estate is arguably the most beautiful area in Goulburn,” he says.
“Borona is a short, flat walk from the centre of town, but far enough away that the daily bustle doesn’t encroach on your peace and quiet.
“This is far more than a home. It’s an irreplaceable piece of our town’s history, thoughtfully preserved and ready to be loved for many, many years to come.”
Expressions of interest are now welcome for 8 Hurst Street, Goulburn. For more information or to book an inspection, contact Justin Gay on 0429 795 507.
