This impeccably preserved townhouse, erected in 1731, reveals an enchanting fusion of historical charm and contemporary sophistication spread across its three levels. Originally refurbished in 1731, this residence holds the esteemed distinction of being funded by a trust established by Antonio Manoel de Vilhena, the 66th Grand Master of the Order of St. John.

 

Upon entering, a vaulted foyer extends a warm welcome, leading to a modern elevator and staircase granting access to each floor. Sunlight streams through windows and balconies, enhancing the ambiance throughout. The first floor boasts versatile rooms suitable for bedrooms, while the second floor showcases the Sala Nobile, serving as a dining area and kitchen breakfast nook, complemented by two traditional Maltese-style balconies and a fireplace. The rooftop level hosts a laundry area and study, or an additional bedroom, opening onto a generous, sun-drenched terrace.

 

The allure of the property is further accentuated by its original folding doors, lofty ceilings, and contemporary touches. Additionally, a self-contained, ground-floor, one-bedroom maisonette with a private entrance is included, seamlessly connectable for added convenience.

 

A planning permit enhances the property's potential, allowing for the addition of an extra recessed floor atop the structure. This promises breathtaking panoramic vistas from the northeast and east, with sea views from the expanded roof area, creating an ideal venue for gatherings in this meticulously crafted blend of past and present.

 

This townhouse offers versatile utility, ideal for residential or commercial purposes, whether utilized as an embassy, office, or stately residence in the heart of the Capital City.
