26 Alvena Crescent, Heathmont VIC 3135

Set on an elevated block in a quiet crescent, this 1950s weatherboard’s original character carries through a sun-filled, family-scale layout. A lovely front garden leads up to a deck that takes in treetop views, while big windows pull the greenery indoors.

Inside, floorboards run through to a generous living and dining room warmed by a wood fireplace, with a ceiling fan above for the warmer months. The adjoining kitchen pairs shaker cabinetry and terracotta tiles with a 900mm cooktop and oven, plus ample bench space to spread out for Sunday roasts or weekday meal prep.

Three bedrooms sit privately off the main hall, two with built-in robes and all three with ceiling fans. The central bathroom is classic with a shower-over-the-bath and a timber vanity, alongside a separate toilet and walk-in laundry.

Out back, a covered north-facing verandah with built-in bar steps onto a deep, established lawn, with a gas BBQ ready for weekends, and a water tank, clothesline and shed for the practical side. The long driveway parks three cars before a double gate opens to the rear for two more, handy for trailers, boats or the extended family.

Ducted heating, evaporative cooling and Rinnai temperature controls in the kitchen and bathroom add modern comfort to the warm character.

Zoned for well-regarded Eastwood Primary School and Ringwood Secondary College, with Tintern Grammar close by, the home is a short walk from Heathmont Station, bus routes, Bedford Street shops, Heathmont Shopping Centre, Herman Pump Reserve and Wombolano Park. The Dandenong Creek Trail for cycling and walking and Eastland are all moments away, giving family life that easy, leafy rhythm this neighbourhood is known for.
