Urban's three favourite things about La Storia, Carlton:

    • Ultra luxury residences
    • In the heart of Little Italy, on the edge of the city
    • Captivating city views, and premium design

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.

Our take by

Apartments loves La Storia because…

La Storia delivers a sculptural, modernist presence to Carlton, conceived by Marcocci Property Group and meticulously crafted by m3 Design. The building makes an indelible impression through a monolithic facade articulated by robust concrete columns, leading into a grand four-metre-high foyer finished in tactile timber and stone. Internally, each house-sized residence prioritises generous spatial volume with 2.7-metre ceiling heights, seamless indoor-outdoor floor transitions, and extensive glazing complemented by rich marble detailing and bespoke joinery.
