Designed by renowned architect E.C.Manfred for his own family and built in 1890 by master builder George Dalton, "Borona" stands as one of Goulburn's finest period residences in the prestigious Hurstville estate. Rich in architectural pedigree yet thoughtfully modernised, this five-bedroom, three-bathroom home blends late-Victorian charm with contemporary luxury across a generous and beautifully improved 1,116sqm (approx.) allotment.
Over the past few years, the current owners have undertaken an exceptional transformation - resulting in a residence that is not only elegant, but genuinely turn-key for the next custodian.
A Grand, Welcoming Home:
High ceilings, original fireplaces, French windows and wide hallways give the ground floor its unmistakable character. Formal and informal living zones offer wonderful flexibility, including a sun-filled kitchen breakfast room, a dining room with fireplace, and a cosy central sitting room complete with working clean air fireplace with a study nook.
Upstairs, four well-proportioned bedrooms (including a bedroom with ensuite) and separate family bathroom provide generous family accommodation, while the fifth bedroom on the ground floor is ideal for guests or multi-generational living with a bathroom on this floor as well.
A Kitchen Worthy of the Home's Heritage:
• The brand-new custom kitchen by Mill Joinery is a standout. Thoughtfully designed to honour the home's period sensibilities, it features:
• Corian benchtops and splashbacks
• Double Miele ovens
• 940mm Miele induction cooktop
• Fisher & Paykel double-drawer dishwasher
• Butler's-style laundry and side pantry
• New and restored hardwood timber artisan basketweave flooring, seamlessly blending old with new
This space flows effortlessly to the meals area, timber deck and pool, perfect for everyday family life and relaxed entertaining.
