26 Old Kent Road, Mooroolbark VIC 3138

Double-storey family home | Bimbadeen Heights zone | Low-maintenance 502sqm block | No overlays | Quiet pocket Mooroolbark This property offers a rare combination of zoning certainty and family-ready configuration in a market where both are increasingly valued. The double-storey layout on a compact block maximises usable space without the upkeep burden of a larger lot, while the absence of bushfire, flood, or heritage overlays removes common approval and insurance friction. For a buyer seeking a low-risk, long-term family home with strong school catchment appeal, this house positions competitively against older single-level stock in the area. The primary risk is the lot size: at 502sqm, future subdivision or significant extension is constrained, which limits capital growth upside tied to land banking. The building coverage of 45% is moderate but leaves little room for major additions without planning variance. However, the current configuration already delivers five bedrooms and two bathrooms, which meets the typical family demand profile in Mooroolbark. Rental potential at $675–$730 per week offers a credible hold strategy if purchase timing shifts. For an owner-occupier, this property works as a straightforward, low-maintenance home in a solid school zone. For an investor, it provides reliable yield with minimal overlay risk. Hold for stable family demand; do not expect land-value windfall.
