Overview

Offsite Private Auction Thursday 5th June at 6.30pm

Hazelwell c1854. A Distinguished, Tranquil Home. "Hazelwell" c1854 is a rare and historically significant Victorian residence, perfectly positioned between Fitzroy Gardens and Darling Square. This beautifully preserved home offers refined family living on a wide double frontage in one of East Melbourne's most prestigious pockets. Steeped in history, the home was once the residence of Ivo Bligh, the renowned English cricketer and captain of the first Ashes series in 1882, and his Australian wife, Florence Morphy. The original Ashes urn was stored here, firmly embedding the property in cricketing folklore. Positioned behind a stately cast iron fence and framed by manicured Magnolia trees, this double-fronted single-level home enjoys a commanding presence. Set well back from the street, it offers peace and privacy in the heart of East Melbourne. The home's hallmark period features include a concave-roofed verandah, ornate iron lacework, and soaring pressed metal ceilings. A rare luxury so close to the city, both front and rear gardens have beautifully maintained lawn areas enhancing the home's tranquil appeal. Inside, a wide double-arched hallway with dark-stained timber floors lead to four bedrooms, including a main with walk-in robe and ensuite, and a family bathroom with integrated laundry. At the rear, light-filled living and dining zones flow to a stylish and functional kitchen with CaesarStone benchtops. French doors open to a private secluded inner city garden, including a brick-paved courtyard with wood-fired pizza oven. Additional features include hydronic heating, R/C air conditioning, open fireplaces, a remote double carport via side lane, and scope for future expansion including a second level rear additional and/or basement level (STCA). Just a short stroll through Fitzroy Gardens to the CBD, and moments from public transport, cafés, the MCG and Melbourne's premier cultural attractions, this home offers an enviable lifestyle in the heart of it all.
