Classically modern

Families looking for a period-style house with plenty of room to entertain should consider ‘Peppercorn’, a well-maintained Victorian that blends vintage with modern conveniences.

Leadlight windows, corbels, ornate cornice and fireplaces rub shoulders with downlights, slate floors and open-plan living.

Four bedrooms include three with built-in wardrobes and there’s a bathroom with claw-foot bath. A large living-dining space caters to everyone.

A dishwasher and stainless-steel oven are highlights of the kitchen.

Entertaining will be easy with a large, decked pergola, while landscaped gardens add instant appeal. A studio is a convenient addition. Split-system cooling, wood heater, and a 4000-litre water tank are extras.

The property is within strolling distance of Yarraville and Seddon stations.
