“EXPRESSION OF INTEREST CLOSES @ 2PM 1st AUGUST 2026”
Some homes are defined by their address.
Others by their architecture.
This one is defined by the view.
Elevated above the Maribyrnong River, 9 Rippon Street commands one of Melbourne’s most extraordinary outlooks. From the uninterrupted expanse of Flemington Racecourse across Footscray Park and the winding river to the ever-changing city skyline beyond, the panorama is simply breathtaking. Every sunrise feels like a new masterpiece, golden afternoons stretch endlessly across the parklands, and as dusk settles, the city transforms into a sea of lights. New Year’s Eve fireworks, the excitement of the Spring Racing Carnival and Melbourne’s skyline become part of your everyday backdrop. It’s a view that cannot be built out, cannot be replicated and is rarely offered to the market.
Constructed in solid double brick and thoughtfully designed across three expansive levels, this is a home of enduring quality, generous proportions and exceptional versatility. Created for families who value space and flexibility, it effortlessly adapts to changing lifestyles while providing an extraordinary setting for entertaining.
The upper level is where the home truly comes to life. Large picture windows frame the skyline like a living work of art, filling the living spaces with natural light and remarkable views. The kitchen enjoys a commanding outlook across the city, while the adjoining balcony offers an unforgettable place to entertain, share a quiet morning coffee or simply watch Melbourne come alive from sunrise through to the glittering lights of evening.
On the lower level, a beautifully renovated contemporary kitchen introduces another layer of flexibility. Featuring warm timber finishes, sleek cabinetry and generous breakfast bar seating, it creates the ideal space for extended family, independent living or effortless entertaining. A dedicated home office provides the perfect environment for professionals working from home, while multiple living zones ensure everyone enjoys their own space without compromise.
Rich with opportunity and largely original throughout, the residence presents an exceptional canvas for those wishing to introduce their own architectural vision while capitalising on one of the finest elevated positions in Melbourne’s inner west. Outside, the existing swimming pool awaits its revival, offering the chance to create a private resort-inspired sanctuary that perfectly complements the home’s remarkable lifestyle appeal.
Perfectly positioned only minutes from Melbourne’s CBD and surrounded by quality schools, parklands, cafés and transport, this is far more than a family home.
It’s an opportunity to secure one of the western suburbs’ most tightly held vantage points.
A front row seat to Melbourne.
