Sophie Cachia lists four-bedroom Melbourne home for $1million - ahead of buying dream property with AFLW star girlfriend Madison Prespakis
Sophie Cachia has listed her fully renovated Tullamarine home on the market for almost $1m, as she prepares for a new chapter alongside AFLW star Madison Prespakis. The four-bedroom home, located in Melbourne 's north-west, has a price guide of $900,000 - $990,000 and is set to go under the hammer next month. The stylish residence was purchased in 2021 and completely overhauled under Sophie's direction. It features a striking monochrome palette, high-end appliances, a designer kitchen and an oversized ensuite with double vanities, a double shower and a custom-built step for children. The Melbourne influencer is selling the property to take the next step in her relationship with Prespakis, as they prepare to buy their dream home together. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Maddy and I will definitely be buying together. It's not about proving anything to anyone else, we're just really aligned in what we want,' she told 'Whether it's near family or by the beach, as long as we're together, that's all that really matters.' The Tullamarine home includes two separate living areas, secure gated entry, integrated appliances, a walk-in dressing room and a spacious backyard with a pool. The main bathroom is another standout, featuring designer tiles, a freestanding bathtub and luxurious floor-to-ceiling finishes - all part of the home's complete top-to-toe renovation. Sophie worked closely with an interior stylist to ensure her home décor vision was brought to life, and the property will head to auction on Saturday, August 23. The social media star, who co-parents three children and boasts more than 300,000 followers across Instagram and TikTok, said the home had been a refuge during a time of personal growth. 'That whole front section of the house became a sanctuary. I'll miss it so much,' she said. It comes after Sophie hinted at plans to marry her girlfriend Madison. The former AFL WAG, 34, and AFLW player, 24, debuted their romance on Instagram in December, one month before Sophie welcomed third child, Esmé, into the world after undergoing intrauterine insemination (IUI). And it seems, things are already getting serious between the couple. Taking to her Instagram Stories in June, Sophie didn't miss a beat when responding to a fan who asked: 'Would you consider marriage again?' 'Absolutely,' she said. 'With every part of my soul.' 'Am I married? No. Am I engaged? No,' Sophie continued in her response to other questions about her relationship. 'I always wear these rings. They are my rings. Yes, I would get married tomorrow, if I could,' she said. Sophie was wearing a large sapphire and diamond ring in the video that could be confused for an engagement ring. Sophie has had several high-profile romances with top female athletes since the breakdown of her marriage to AFL star Jarryd Cachia in 2019, with whom she shares son Bobby, 10, and daughter Florence, seven. She was married to Jaryd from October 2015 to September 2019 after welcoming their two children. Since their split, she has struck up several back-to-back romances with high-profile sportswomen. She first dated Matildas soccer player Alanna Kennedy, before briefly getting engaged to WNBL star Maddie Garrick, and she then went on to have a year-long romance with AFLW star Sophie Van De Heuvel.
