24 Napier Street, Paddington, NSW

Substantially rebuilt in 2002 and recently updated, this large 5m wide terrace is very spacious thanks to 221m of land and plenty of garden space. With the possibility of adding a studio over the wide 2 car garage, there will never be a lack of living space. 4 full bedrooms and a full office means working from home is a real possibility but with buses on Oxford St a minute away, there are many options. The property is North facing and not shaded by the trees that are quite dense in this locale and with the construction separate to the neighbours there are no party walls. The location is close to Moore Park, SCG, Oxford St shops, and Darlinghurst but some buyers will see this as the poorer section of Paddington being located in the triangle between NSW University Campus, the Verona movie theatre, and South Dowling St. Having said that if this sized property was transported to Five Ways in Paddington or Windsor St, North facing it would sell for $2-$3m more as proved by recent $7m sales. It's location vs size and commensurate price so if you're looking for a large-boned well maintained terrace close to everything then this is for you. If you are looking for seclusion in a more prestigious area closer to the Woollahra end of Paddington then maybe it's not for you. Either way, it's worth looking at.
