This charming townhouse in Valletta has roots that date back to the time of the Knights of St John. Its origins are tied to the establishment of a "city built by gentlemen for gentlemen" on the peninsula nestled between the Grand Harbour to the South and Marsamxett Harbour to the North, a vision realized after the Knights′ triumph in repelling the Great Siege of 1565.
Through the years, the property has been carefully updated by successive owners to match the changing needs and tastes of each era. Situated in one of Valletta′s most desirable areas, near the Manuel Theatre, bustling cafes, restaurants and shops, it still enjoys a quiet setting on a serene street.
Currently, this townhouse is in superb condition following a recent restoration that exudes a minimalist Parisian allure. Upon entering from the street into a smart entrance hall, you are greeted by a central lobby featuring an impressive elliptical staircase ascending through the various levels of the house to the rooftop. There is also potential to install an elevator for added convenience.
The ground floor level accommodates a laundry room and a full bathroom, previously serving as an office that can easily be restored to its original status. The staircase leads to three additional levels housing five spacious bedrooms with separate bathrooms, culminating in the living area on the fourth floor. Each bedroom boasts a balcony that floods the rooms with natural light.
The living area is highlighted by a grand Sala Noble with two traditional closed balconies and a small open balcony. Adjacent to this area is a large kitchen, and dining space with a small terrace and a guest restroom. Moving up to the rooftop, you′ll discover a study with an open terrace facing North West and a glass-walled sunroom leading to a South East facing front terrace, perfect for outdoor gatherings. From here, you can enjoy breathtaking views of Marsamxett Harbour, the Sliema skyline, and even as far as Mdina.
This property is not only an ideal family residence, but also an exceptional opportunity for short-term rentals, offering ample space for gatherings and leisure activities.
