Australian weightlifting legend Dean Lukin is selling the family's Mermaid Beach holiday home.

The Olympic gold-medal winning weightlifter bought the home with his brother David and mum Ann, shortly after the death of his father Dinko Lukin, the millionaire Port Adelaide fishing entrepreneur.

The Adelaide-based family paid $4.8 million for the timber beach house on the dress circle Hedges Avenue in 2013.

Set on 405 square metres on a prime corner block, the three level Hamptons-style home has three bedrooms and four bathrooms.

The Lukin's have modernised the home which now comes with concealed TVs and a sunken jacuzzi on the alfresco deck which runs off the lounge with a sandstone clad fireplace.

The master suite is hidden behind a solid wood pivot door. It comprises its own sandstone terrace, ensuite and custom walk-in wardrobe. 

Kollosche Broadbeach agent Eddie Wardale is asking $6,495,000.

Dean Lukin was the first, and only, Australian to win the super-heavyweight weightlifting gold medal at the 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles.
