Barooga: A statement in modern luxury & style
Bold by design and generous by nature, this near-new Hawthorn residence, known as Barooga, delivers a standout take on modern family living. Named in tribute to Barooga Station, with reclaimed bricks sourced from the original homestead built circa 1847, it carries a subtle connection to the past within a distinctly contemporary setting. Tucked into one of the area’s quieter pockets, it feels wonderfully removed while remaining just moments from the energy, dining and daily convenience of Glenferrie Road.
Set across two levels amid landscaped surrounds, the interiors make an immediate impression with scale, northern light and considered detail throughout. A welcoming entrance hall features custom joinery with built-in banquette seating, storage and hanging space, bringing everyday practicality to the forefront. High ceilings and refined finishes continue the sense of quality, while an open adjoining zone offers flexibility as a home office, sitting or play space. The main bedroom is a true retreat, complete with a luxe ensuite and walk-in robe.
Bifold doors open to a deck, extending the living domain outdoors with ease. Designed for entertaining the kitchen is impressively appointed with integrated fridge and freezer, dedicated bar with freezer and fridge drawer, quality appliances, excellent storage, a freestanding stone island bench, plus an adjoining butler’s pantry and laundry.
From here, the layout flows effortlessly through spacious dining and living zones, with sliding glass doors opening to the rear deck and leafy courtyard garden, complete with a cubbyhouse.
Upstairs continues the home’s sense of light and space, offering three further bedrooms, including one with a walk-in robe and ensuite, alongside a stylish family bathroom with separate bath and a generous family retreat.
Added highlights include off street parking, custom-built storage throughout, parquetry floors, hydronic heating throughout, downstairs in floor ducted heating and cooling, and upstairs split system air conditioning thoughout, guest powder room, quality window furnishings and more.
Set within a prestigious heritage precinct, this rare contemporary home enjoys an exceptional lifestyle setting just steps from Hull Street Reserve and an easy walk to Glenferrie Road trams, trains and leading schools including Methodist Ladies’ College, Ruyton Girls’ School, Xavier College, Carey Baptist Grammar School and Swinburne University of Technology, while also zoned for the popular Melbourne Girls’ College.
