It is the second firebombing on the same street in less than 24 hours.
Several doors down, a car was doused in petrol and set on fire about 4am on Saturday in what police believe may have been a case of mistaken identity.
It is believed a white Mercedes was used in both firebombings.
Investigators are looking into whether the incidents are linked.
The Mercedes was found torched in Bankstown a short time later.
