The house also has a fully decked-out, open-plan, designer kitchen according to the listing on the Amir Prestige website. One of the three bathrooms is part of the master suite. The other two are present on each of the two floors.

The $1.8 million home was sold through realtor Nat King. Interestingly, the pair is currently competing in the Australian Swimming Championships which is being held at Gold Coast.

How is the pair fairing at the Australian Championships?

Emma McKeon is the most successful athlete in the history of the commonwealth games, with 11 gold medals. She is also the defending Short Course World Champion in the 50m, 100m, 4x100m, and 4x50m medley. However, she has had a rocky start at the Australian Championships.
