Nestled in the vibrant and diverse suburb of Preston, Victoria, the new townhouse development at 23 Sussex Street offers an exceptional blend of modern living and suburban charm. This boutique collection of four distinct townhomes presents a unique opportunity for those seeking a residence that balances high-quality design with practicality. Located just 9 kilometres from Melbourne’s CBD, these townhouses are perfect for young families, professionals, and discerning homeowners who value both style and convenience.

<h3>Thoughtfully designed interiors</h3>

The townhouses at 23 Sussex Street are meticulously designed to ensure both aesthetics and functionality. Each residence boasts an open-plan living, kitchen, and dining area that maximises space and light. The interiors are crafted with a soft, natural palette, complemented by high ceilings and rose gold accents, creating an atmosphere of warmth and sophistication.

The kitchen is the heart of these homes, featuring a Smeg appliance package, including a 900mm gas cooktop, oven, dishwasher, and rangehood. The timber flooring adds a touch of elegance, while the stone benchtops and bespoke cabinets provide durability and style. The subtle curves of the island bench echo the exterior’s architectural details, tying the design elements together seamlessly.

In the bedrooms, plush carpet underfoot and built-in robes with ample storage options offer comfort and practicality. The bathrooms continue the theme of luxury, with selected tiles, semi-frameless shower screens, and rose gold tapware that add a modern touch. Each townhouse is also equipped with a stand-alone bath, providing a private sanctuary where you can unwind and relax.

<h3>Catered for modern living</h3>

At 23 Sussex Street, every detail is considered to enhance your lifestyle. The townhouses include private, landscaped courtyards that extend your living space outdoors—perfect for entertaining or enjoying a quiet morning coffee. The double glazing on all windows ensures energy efficiency and acoustic comfort, making your home a quiet retreat from the bustling suburb outside.

Security and convenience are also prioritised, with remote-controlled garage doors for the double garages or two-car spaces provided with each townhouse. Additionally, each home is fitted with provisions for NBN connectivity, ensuring that your home is ready for modern living from the day you move in.

<h3>Moments from Preston's local delights</h3>

La Storia is an ode to Carlton. It represents the history and journey of a hard-working, inner-city suburb. A place where rich migrant stories have been lived and told, and Melbourne’s café culture was born and thrived, and became part of the city’s DNA.

Prized for its proximity to the city, Carlton grew, and with it, a look and feel reminiscent of the old country. Victorian façades were covered in stucco and painted in pastels to remind and resemble the villages that had been left behind.

Positioned on the corner of Cardigan and Pelham Streets, La Storia overlooks Argyle Square, a joint project with Milan, Melbourne’s sister city and one of the many squares of the area.

Through the park is the famous Lygon Street precinct.

A reflection on great Italian design, La Storia mixes the ancient and the modern, the strong with the natural.

Each three bedroom home in La Storia has prioritised light and airflow with a maximised floorplan and large, floor-to-ceiling windows.

Designed by M3 Design and inspired by Carlo Scarpa, the exteriors concrete glass, and spaces crafted in stone, transcend the International Style and create warm spaces to be lived in.

With vast living areas and balconies extending to show a gorgeous city view, your home at La Storia is a dream come true.

Massive kitchen and scullery areas ensure that cooking and entertaining is a breeze with plenty of space to prepare for family and friends.

World-class hospitals and medical clinics operate in close proximity to home at La Storia, while public and private health clubs, pools and spas welcome all with a short tram ride, walk or drive.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145878 project_image_fid=289254]

Location has always been paramount for M3 Group given the demographic of either downsizers or young families they develop for. They settled on a site on<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/23-sussex-st-preston-by-m3-group-23-sussex-preston-vic-3072">&nbsp;Sussex Street</a>, just off Dundas Street and near the Preston Activity Centre.

The strategic advantage of 23 Sussex St: M3 Group’s focus on location for new Preston townhouse development

The family-run M3 Group is continuing its pursuit of developing architecturally striking and affordable new townhouses in Melbourne's north-eastern suburbs.

Having successfully completed a trio of boutique townhouse developments in Reservoir, M3 Group, which was founded three decades ago by the Mancuso family who still run the business today,&nbsp;has launched its next townhouse installment in nearby&nbsp;<a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developments/preston-vic-3072">Preston</a>.

The four townhouses, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/23-sussex-st-preston-by-m3-group-23-sussex-preston-vic-3072">23 Sussex Street</a>, on the Preston Thornbury border,&nbsp;are designed with a distinctive gable roof, arched forms, curved brickwork, and timber entry doors that contribute to the unique character of the residences.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145878 project_image_fid=289257]

Each townhouse will include four bedrooms, a landscaped courtyard, and either a double garage or two car spaces, catering to the needs of families.

&nbsp;

The open-plan living, kitchen, and dining areas are designed to maximise space, leading out to the courtyard.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145878 project_image_fid=289259]

The upper level of each townhouse provides flexibility, with a fourth bedroom that can be converted into a rumpus room or a large study.

Sustainability is also a key focus of the development, with the townhouses aiming for a 6-star energy rating. Double-glazed windows are included to enhance insulation, improve energy efficiency, and reduce noise.&nbsp;

Located just off Dundas Street and near the Preston Activity Area, 23 Sussex Street offers convenient access to local amenities.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145878 project_image_fid=289256]

M3 Group’s in-house construction team, which completed the Reservoir townhouses in just eight months, is set to begin construction soon.

M3 Group is fully integrated, not only handling the development and construction of its projects, but the design as well.

"There's a sense of playfulness to its form, yet each space is highly functional," Gianni Mancuso, Architect M3 Group, said.

"There is undeniable street appeal as you approach,"

[smartcode_project:default project_id=145878 project_image_fid=289255]

M3 Group expands into Preston with boutique townhouse project

Melbourne developer,&nbsp;M3 Group, has sold out its&nbsp;inaugural townhouse development, 158 Purinuan Rd in Reservoir.

Each of the four townhouses were delivered in just eight months through M3's own inhouse construction team, and were snapped up pre-completion by owner-occupiers who have recently settled on their purchases.

Vincent Mancuso, Director of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/developers/m3-group">M3 Group</a>, said the team are thrilled with the success of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/158-purinuan-rd-by-m3-group-158-purinuan-road-reservoir">158 Purinuan Rd</a>.

"Our team's dedication to quality and attention to detail has clearly resonated with buyers, and we look forward to continuing this momentum in our future projects."

One of the truest signs of a reputable builder and developer is they deliver on what they've sold. Below is an image of the completed townhouse, which looks identicle to the renders created as part of the marketing through Blair Property's Darren Blair.

Darren Blair, Director of <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/project-marketer/blair-property">Blair Property Group</a>, said the rapid sell-out and settlement of 158 Purinuan Rd is a clear indication of the market's confidence in M3 Group's ability to deliver high-quality homes.

"We are excited about the upcoming completions and new launches, and we are confident they will continue to meet and exceed buyer expectations."

The trio of projects, named after their street names,&nbsp;48 Dundee Street, 69 Hickford Street and 158 Purinuan Road, have proven popular with first home buyers, who have been eligible for the $10,000 First Home Owner Grant (FHOG), and local families and downsizers.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142462 project_image_fid=230651]

M3 Group approach complete of Reservoir townhouse collection

Developer M3 Group identified Reservoir, the growing suburb 12 kilometres north of Melbourne, as a prime location for their latest collection of contemporary townhouses.

They honed in on a pocket near Ruthven Station, on the fringe of the Reservoir activity centre as well as a stone's throw to Bundoora Park Public Golf Course, where they secured a number of development sites for three new townhouse projects.

Simply named after their street name, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/48-dundee-st-by-m3-group-48-dundee-street-reservoir">48 Dundee Street</a>, <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/69-hickford-st-by-m3-group-69-hickford-street-reservoir">69 Hickford Street</a> and <a href="https://www.urban.com.au/new-townhouses/158-purinuan-rd-by-m3-group-158-purinuan-road-reservoir">158 Purinuan Road</a>, the trio of townhouse collection sit with a few hundred metres of each other.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142462 project_image_fid=230651]

The townhouses have proven incredibly popular, in a suburb not known for new homes. The five two and three-bedroom townhomes at 48 Dundee Street have sold, while 69 Hickford Street offers just four three and four-bedroom townhomes. Two out of the four have been snapped up.

158 Purinuan Road offers the most affordable product, with four two-bedroom townhouses starting from $779,000.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142461 project_image_fid=240516]

The townhouses have attracted a number of buyers given its proximity to Melbourne and easy connectivity by train or car.

The location of the townhouses have been a real stand out. They're located a short walk to both Dr&nbsp;Atkinson Reserve and JC Donath Reserve, the latter regional sports park with a skate park, exercise equipment and a kids playground. The Bundoora Park Public Golf Course is a 10-minute drive.

Residents will also have no shortage of food options with numerous eateries nearby, including Tre Bambinis Papillon's Pizza, Hi Italy Pizzeria, and Kusina ni Lola.

[smartcode_project:default project_id=142460 project_image_fid=240501]

The townhomes are just an eight-minute drive to the centre of Reservoir, where the train station is located surrounded by more restaurants, cafes, bars, and a Coles supermarket.

For prospective homebuyers who are looking for a home base that is close to schools, 69 Hickford St is adjacent to Reservoir Views Primary School, with Maharishi Elementary School, Reservoir High School, and the La Trobe University campus in close proximity.

Blair Property's Darren Blair is marketing the townhomes.

Driven by beauty and permanence, La Storia is built of strong materials, including marble and concrete, with the exterior taking on a monolithic presence, to reflect the idea of immutability.

Finely detailed and honed in stone, La Storia imbues the legacy of Carlos Scarpa, along with his ethos of the handmade and warm-blooded mix of the old and the new. &nbsp;

Maximum functionality and movement are at the heart of each floor plan with indoor and outdoor spaces designed to entertain or simply retreat to and relax.
