Former USC football great Lynn Swann, who last year resigned as athletic director at his alma mater, has listed his home in historic Hancock Park for sale at $3.595 million.

Swann bought the contemporary residence about six miles northwest of the USC campus three years ago for $3.08 million, The Times previously reported.

Designed by Naomi Kobrin, the two-story house has an open-concept floor plan, high ceilings and pocketing glass walls that open to the backyard. Some 4,300 square feet of living space contain a living room with a two-way fireplace, a center-island kitchen, five bedrooms and 5.5 bathrooms. A small wet bar sits below a floating wood and steel staircase.

Outside, hedges and fencing conceal a dining patio and saltwater swimming pool. An expansive terrace with a fire feature creates additional living space on the home’s second story.

Swann, 67, was a standout wide receiver at USC and went on to win four Super Bowls in the NFL with the Pittsburgh Steelers. Following his retirement in 1982, he worked as a broadcaster for ABC Sports and served as chairman of the President’s Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition (2002-05).
