Description
This beautiful Town House in Valletta traces its origins to the era of the Knights of St John. The building of a 'city built by gentlemen for gentlemen' on the peninsula flanked by the Grand Harbour to the South and Marsamxett Harbour to the North commenced immediately after the Knights repelled the Great Siege of 1565. Over time, this beautiful space has been modified by successive owners in keeping with the needs and style of the time. It is located in one of the most sought after areas of Valletta, close the Manuel Theatre, Strait Street restaurants, and the hustle and bustle of cafes and shops in Republic Street and Merchants Street. At present, it is in an excellent pristine condition having been recently restored in a minimalist Parisian flare. Off the street and through a smart entrance hall one finds a central lobby, impressively created by the elliptical staircase that rises through the various levels of the house to roof level from which stunning views of Marsamxett Harbour, the Sliema skyline and the vista beyond Valletta all the way to Mdina. At ground floor level there is a laundry room and full bathroom. This was once an office which can be easily converted once again to its original status. The staircase connects to another three levels comprising five large bedrooms and separate bathrooms and eventually to the living area on the fourth floor. Each bedroom has a balcony providing natural sunlight. The living area comprises a large Sala Noble with stunning white walls, as have all the other rooms of the house, two traditional closed baloneys and a small open balcony. At this level, across the landing, there is a large kitchen dining area with a small terrace and a guest rest room. Further up to roof level, is a study with an open terrace facing North West and a glass walled sunroom leading to a South East facing front terrace ideal for open-air entertainment. This property is an ideal family home with large amount of space for gathering and entertainment .
