The house flows from the indoors to the outdoors.<\/p>\n
Swann said his favourite part of the house was the living room where he enjoyed watching sport on TV.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m going to miss this location, this house is in a great suburb which is central to everything,\u201d Mr Swann said.<\/p>\n
He said there was a \u201cfair bit\u201d of sporting history in the memorabilia room which would be hard to downsize.<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
The couple has hosted several AFL players over the years with the separate living zones being a big hit.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve had players including Cam Rayner, Rhys Matheson, and Sam Skinner who came and stayed with us for about three to four months,\u201d Mrs Swann said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWill Ashcroft had a short stay in his draft year, and we also had Toby Wooller, andTom Fullarton.<\/p>\n
\u201cDan McStay was to move in for six weeks and he stayed for eight months. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe also hosted Irish hopeful Deividas Uosis.\u201d<\/p>\n
\n<\/p>\n
Mrs Swann said during their first year at the house they kept a tally of how many people had stayed at their pad.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy December I had 90 different people stay at least one night,\u201d Mrs Swann said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI had a mattress in the garage that I would drag into the cinema room.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAbout 12 people can stay in the home at once, there\u2019s plenty of space and it\u2019s comfortable.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe house is constantly in use by us or others \u2013 it was dubbed Chateau Swann by the constant flow of family and friends who enjoyed our hospitality over the past 10 years.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The house is an entertainer\u2019s dream.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Standout features include a 6m voided entry which, pivot door, alfresco area, cinema and pool.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis house has an energy of its own \u2013 everything has been thoughtfully designed \u2013 and the people who come here can feel it,\u201d Mrs Swann said.<\/p>\n
The Swanns said it was time to downsize and start their next chapter, although they were sad to leave their friends and lifestyle behind.<\/p>\n
The property is going to auction on August 23 through Ray White Collective principal Brandon Wortley.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Greg and Leonie Swann at their home in Balmoral.
