2 Napier Street, Petersham

With a handsome double-fronted facade and tremendous street appeal, this large single-level Federation residence stands in a quiet and wide tree-lined street conveniently close to shops, trains, schools and Marrickville Park.

An ideal choice for families seeking a spacious home with renovation potential, it is set on a level 487 square metre block featuring a huge child-friendly back garden with a sunny north-east aspect, paved alfresco dining area, big level lawn and enormous vegetable garden.

In a sought after precinct with other beautiful Federation homes, the house is set back from the street behind an iron palisade fence and wide front verandah with original tessellated tiles and decorative timber fretwork.

Step inside to the central hallway which has four big double bedrooms leading off it. An original 3-metre high patterned ceiling depicting lyrebirds is a feature of the main bedroom.

At the back of the home are an enclosed back verandah, the living area, a bathroom and an eat-in gas kitchen. Behind the kitchen are a large storeroom, laundry and second toilet. While perfectly livable now, this back section of the house has tremendous scope for a modern renovation at some future stage.

On the northern side of the house is a wide driveway providing off-street parking for two cars as well as easy access to a storage shed and the back garden.

NB: There will be no open for inspection on Anzac Day - Saturday 25 April
