NRL star Tom Burgess, 28, and his fiancée Tahlia Giumelli, 28, have purchased their ‘forever home’ in Woolooware in the New South Wales’ Sutherland Shire.
As reported by The Daily Telegraph on Sunday, the sporting power couple paid $2.61million for the four-bedroom property – a spacious abode for their brood.
Tom and Tahlia, who are proud parents to daughters Sophie, 18 months, and Elodie, nearly three months, plan on extensively renovating the 2002 built home, having created an Instagram page to update their fans on their journey.

According to The Daily Telegraph, the property was in high demand with the auction brought forward a week earlier, to last weekend.
The couple spent the past 12 months searching for their perfect ‘forever home’.
Covering two floors, the home features four bedrooms on the upstairs level, including a master with a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite.

On their new Instagram page, Building With The Burgesses, Tahlia revealed that their first step is a ‘fresh coat of paint’ on all the rooms that have their own feature wall.
They also plan on ‘replacing the tiles with floorboards to really set the coastal vibe’, and are loving the ‘flat backyard’ for their young children to play.
