AFL star Bailey Smith, 21, purchases his first home in Melbourne for $1.8million

Bailey Smith has entered the property market after recently purchasing his first home in Melbourne’s southeast.

According to a report by the Herald Sun, the 21-year-old Australian rules footballer is believed to have purchased the home for $1.8million.

The property is described as a ‘stunning renovated Victorian’, and features three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

It sits across two storeys, and was sold in early February, with Bailey later sharing the exciting news with his fans on Instagram Stories.

The Western Bulldogs star shared a photo of himself standing in front of a ‘SOLD’ sign, telling his followers he’s a ‘happy boy’. 

The home boasts a ‘light-filled, open-plan living area’, while floor-to-ceiling glass doors open out onto a courtyard.

Two of the bedrooms feature inbuilt fireplaces, while a ground floor bathroom comes complete with marble benches. 

Meanwhile, the main bedroom features built-in wardrobes, an ensuite and a sun-drenched private roof deck.

The bedroom also boasts a sliding wall, which opens up to create a mezzanine level above the living room.

In December, it was revealed that Bailey was taking indefinite leave from the AFL for personal reasons.   

He previously spoke about his battle with mental health in a revealing interview with AFL.com.au in March last year.

‘You can never judge a book by its cover. There’s a lot going on. I’m an over-thinker, always have been,’ he admitted.
