Sliema, Malta

This unique, beautifully converted corner townhouse, situated on a quiet street in the heart of Sliema and close to the seafront and all local amenities, combines charming original features with modern day comfort.  It is unique in as much as, apart from offering a ready to move into family home, which is currently run as a very successful guest house, it also comes with a brand new, fully self-contained one bedroom apartment at roof level, with huge terraces.  In addition, there is the possibility of having a lift installed, for which architect plans have already been drawn up, as well as the opportunity to build a further self-contained house on the existing airspace.

The ground floor opens onto a beautifully tiled wide entrance hall, with a large corner double bedroom with original shutters, a further double bedroom and a master bathroom. The hall, complete with pellet-burning stove, leads to a modern, fully equipped kitchen with dining area, which in turn leads to a delightful internal courtyard. This level also contains a street-level, interconnected one car garage, as well a second entrance from the street onto a small sitting room and providing access via a traditional Maltese garigor spiral staircase leading to a further large terrace and finally to the roof level and a brand new, self-contained one double bedroom apartment with its own very large terrace.

Back on the ground floor of the main house, a beautifully restored staircase takes you to the first floor where one finds a spacious and bright corner living room, with front balconies and a few steps up to a mezzanine area which would serve as a wonderful reading space. There are two additional double bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room and one with a traditional Maltese balcony, as well as another main bathroom with bathtub.

Original features such as high ceilings, Maltese patterned floor tiles and exposed wooden beams retain the period charm of the property which, combined with the many modern features it possesses, makes for a beautiful, substantial home. Being offered fully furnished and freehold this exceptional property represents not only a stylish move-in ready residence/guest house in one of Malta’s most desirable locations but also the option to further develop parts of it.
