Sophie Cachia and Madison Prespakis’ bold property move

Melbourne entrepreneur, author and influencer Sophie Cachia has listed her fully renovated Tullamarine home as she prepares to buy with AFLW star Madison Prespakis.

Cachia, who has a combined social media following of more than 300,000 across Instagram and TikTok, is known for her bold personal style, parenting content and outspoken takes on relationships and identity.

Her partner, Madison Prespakis, is a midfielder for Essendon in the AFLW and a former Carlton star who won the league’s Best and Fairest in 2020 aged 19.

Ms Cachia, who co-parents three children, said the home had been the perfect base during a period of growth in both her personal and professional life — but the time was right to move on.

“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 said.

“Whether it’s near family or by the beach, as long as we’re together, that’s all that really matters.”

Her four-bedroom home, which features a monochrome palette, premium appliances and a designer double ensuite, was purchased in 2021 and completely overhauled under Cachia’s direction and has $900,000-$990,000 price hope

Perth-based interior stylist and director of 13 Interiors Kelly Donougher, helped Ms Cachia design the home with a black-and-white aesthetic.

“I wasn’t even really looking to buy, I just went to the open home, saw the potential, and completely fell in love with it,” Ms Cachia said.

“I literally rang Kelly while I was standing inside and said, ‘If I buy this, will you help me style it?

“We were so aligned from the get-go.

“That strong monochrome look, I’ve always loved it. I knew exactly what I wanted this home to feel like.”

The centrepiece of the renovation is the oversized ensuite in the main bedroom, complete with double vanities, a double shower, and a custom step built with young children in mind.

“I’m someone who doesn’t really use the bedroom for anything other than sleep, so I wanted the ensuite to be the wow factor,” Ms Cachia said.

“That whole front section of the house became a sanctuary. I’ll miss it so much.”

Other highlights include two living areas, a walk-in dressing room, integrated appliances, secure gated entry and a low-maintenance backyard with a private pool.
