2 Farrow Lane, Tempe NSW
A former print factory in Sydney’s inner west that dates back to the 1920s has been transformed and converted into an artistic warehouse ahead of auction next month.
The three bedroom and two bathroom retreat at 2 Farrow Lane in Tempe offers buyers an investment opportunity or a chance to further transform the warehouse into a family home.
This warehouse in Tempe was originally constructed as a print factory in the 1920s.

Spread over two levels, the residence includes a large floorplan with the potential to host family or set up a home office.
The warehouse will be auctioned off on the 15th February for a guide of $1.1m.
Features of the property include a sizeable kitchen with storage and benchspace, a lower-level rumpus room with a bar and guest quarters, a double lock garage with internal access, and understair storage.

Raine & Horne’s Filippo D’Arrigo is managing the listing for the Tempe property, and said it had received a good level of interest from buyers.
“The property which dates to the 1920s and was a printing factory has been advertised for a number of days and has received good interest from potential buyers via inspections and inquiries.
“Mainly childless couples have inspected the home, though there were a small number of families who inspected it.”
An internal view of the property in the 70s reveals it had been left empty.
The property has been popular with childless couples and small families.
The property will go under the hammer on the 15th February.
No price guide has been set for the property, however Tempe’s median price has risen by 1.4 per cent over the past year to $1.536m for a home.

Mr D’Arrigo said the vendors had lived in the property for 15 years and have loved the low maintenance nature of warehouse living.
“Most buyers have come to look because there is nothing on the market like this in Tempe now! Everyone loves the downstairs open area and upstairs has a real honey feel and the fact you can lock the doors, go travelling on holiday and there is no maintenance.
“The owners have over the downstairs area for entertaining family and friends and it’s been an area they can just wind down after a big day.”
