Aussie swim star Bronte Campbell has set an auction date for her charming home in Brisbane’s most popular suburb.
The retired Olympic gold medallist listed the Coorparoo home in November, but changed tack after the campaign was slower off the starting blocks than expected.
Cambell’s four-bedroom, two-bathroom property is no longer listed with a price guide, and will now go under the hammer on February 7 if not sold prior.
The buyer will take home a signed Olympic team shirt

“We switched to auction to create some urgency for buyers coming back into the market in the new year, and because we want to get Bronte sold ASAP,” she said.
