Olympic swimmer Libby Trickett sells her dream home Olympic gold medallist Libby Trickett and husband Luke have put their architect-designed Seven Hills home on the market. TRIPLE Olympic swimmer Libby Trickett and her husband Luke are selling their architect-designed "dream home" in Seven Hills, 18 months after moving in. The four-time Olympic gold medallist, who retired from the sport in July, said the three-bedroom contemporary home was "built for us" but the couple had decided to sell due to business interests. "The house reflects us a lot," Libby said. It's a really easy place to live but really beautiful. It's like a little piece of art. Set on a sloping 804sq m block, the 29 Aventine St home was designed by Brisbane architect Shaun Lockyer who was asked by the couple to create an open, breezy design. The house features high ceilings, slate and travertine tiles in the bathrooms, rosewood doors and trims, cedar cladding and Corian benchtops in the kitchen. The Billi hot and cold tap in the kitchen was snuck into the brief by Libby as an extravagant extra but she says it's now a favourite feature of Luke's. "We were building for us so we wanted beautiful finishes," Libby said. A central living area opens to an outdoor timber deck and a balcony runs the length of the main bedroom and bathroom, which is connected by a walk-through robe. The decking, floors and ceilings are recycled tallowwood from the historical Hornibrook Bridge at Redcliffe, which was demolished in 2010. The home has been designed to accommodate an extension underneath, and Luke and Libby had planned to put a pool in the backyard at a later date. The couple's favourite part of the house is the loungeroom with its sandstone feature wall, chosen by Luke, and fireplace. "The mix between stone and wood is quite important to us," Luke said. Libby, who is busy training for Dancing With The Stars which starts on Channel Seven next Tuesday, said she hoped to find a buyer who "loves it as much as us." Marketed by Place New Farm agent Judy Goodger, the property will go to auction on October 31. While the couple intend to move either a nearby suburb or closer to Luke's South Brisbane business, they are not looking for a home with a pool. "Brisbane has plenty of good public pools," Libby said. When time and money permit, they hope to build another home. "It's my dream to build again," Libby said.
