A Cranbourne East home that didn’t secure a sale under the hammer on Saturday, is now negotating with interested parties for the rights to the keys.
The property, located at 19 Lineham Drive, Cranbourne East, now has a price guide of offers over $955,000.
Owned by Sherryn and Geoff Watson, the couple said the house tells a story of “love at first sight”.

“We’d always adored this area,” Mrs Watson said. “We stumbled across this home, and it was magic.
“Walking in, we knew it was meant for us.”
Mrs Watson said she remembered all the moments spent in their beloved home, from heartwarming family memories to the delightful quirks of everyday life.
“One unforgettable day, my mum was found blissfully eating Red Rooster unexpectedly delivered by Uber Eats,” she said.
“Mum said a driver had bought her lunch but we found out the order wasn’t even for us.”
Mr Watson said location was another strong point of the property, nestled in the heart of Cranbourne East’s most sought-after areas.
“Everything we need is just a stroll away,” Mr Watson said.
“I remember doing lots of handy work in the home – I crafted the entire bar myself.”
With the family grown and moved out, the Watsons are ready to part with their cherished home, with both agreeing it was time to downsize and explore new adventures.
YPA Cranbourne’s Frances Cutri said she gives nothing but praise to the home’s intricate features and was sure the home would very quickly secure another buyer.
“Geoff has turned timber work into art — the handcrafted cabinetry and charming bi-fold doors are just the start of what makes this home so special ,” Ms Frances said.
Ms Cutri said interest from eager buyers remains unabated – with pre-auction offers put in from buyers that were unable to transact inside of auction conditions.
“We’ve seen a flurry of activity online and expect even more interest at our upcoming open house,” she said.
“The home is incomparable, this property sits within the prestigious ‘Mayfield Estate,’ there’s convenience with schools, shopping, and recreation within easy reach.
“It’s design for both living and entertaining, including a handcrafted Saloon Bar, it’s a dream home for whoever purchases it.”
