40 Horton Street, Marrickville

Certain to appeal to a wide range of buyers including young families, this spacious Federation single-storey home stands in a quiet and wide tree-lined street that is two-minutes level stroll to Amy Street Playground, Henson Park and Marrickville Tennis Club. The property is also an easy walk to local primary schools, cafes, shops and city transport.

Set well back from the street behind a leafy front garden, the house has a traditional facade featuring a tessellated tiled front verandah with original timber fretwork. It is one of a row of similar style freestanding homes in this street filled with attractive period houses.

The front door opens to a wide hallway with a high patterned ceiling and picture rails. Off the hallway are two king-size bedrooms, both with reverse-cycle air-conditioning and one with a big built-in mirrored wardrobe. Also off the hall is a white-tiled bathroom with a shower above the bath.

In the middle of the house is a spacious living room with high patterned ceiling, decorative fireplace and timber venetians. Adjacent to the sitting room is a separate large dining room leading to the third double bedroom and a modern gas kitchen with white cabinetry.

Behind the kitchen is a laundry (with second toilet) opening to the back verandah and a spacious covered alfresco timber deck flowing to the back garden with a sunny level lawn and garden shed.
