Melbourne Couple's 40-Year Home Sold for A$960,000, Buyers Commit to Preserve

Ahmed and Maya Khalil sold their 26 Marsh Street home for A$960,000 at auction in Maidstone on October 24, 2026. The buyers pledged to keep the house standing, sparing the couple from demolition.

The 26 Marsh Street property in Maidstone sold for A$960,000 at auction on Saturday, October 24, 2026, eclipsing its A$910,000 reserve by A$50,000.

The four‑bedroom house sits on a 586‑square‑metre block, its north‑facing orientation having attracted developers, though none attended the auction.

The winning bidders—a local family that intends to live in the existing dwelling—publicly pledged after the hammer fell that they would preserve the structure rather than demolish it.

Auctioneer Ryan Currie recounts the Khalils bursting into tears when the buyers confirmed their commitment, a moment he said underscored the emotional weight of property transactions.

The Khalils are moving to a low‑maintenance home in Taylors Lakes, while the new owners will occupy the Maidstone house, ensuring it remains a neighborhood landmark.
