A unique, grand 19th Century, Periodical Townhouse in LIJA situated in a charming square of this lovely village. Built over a total footprint of roughly 700 sqm, this grandiose property in Malta retains all its authenticity and originality and has been impeccably built and kept for four generations.
Boasting wrought iron balustrades, flagstone flooring, large wooden balconies, authentic spiral staircases, original wooden apertures, impressive frescos and murals throughout, imposing main stairwell having its own in-designed frescos, a large underlying war shelter, as well as a large arched typical cellar well-lit and aerated beneath the full house area, are just a few of the beautiful features this house offers, throwing you way back in time. The architectural plan is unique and can be seen in various areas of the house and spells out perfection, and attention to minimal detail which one can only experience to understand the cumbersome work involved in the building of such a gem! Being a large property, it offers ample light and space on every floor and the symmetry throughout every room provides comfort, luxury, and practicality in its flow. Accommodation is split between the casual and formal quarters, including such thought as a popular smoking room back in time, interconnected to a 40 sqm formal dining room overlooking the outdoor area.
Separate lounge and sitting areas as well as a library and study further complement the ground level of this house. Upstairs one finds a spectacular 45 sqm "sala nobile", four double bedrooms having their own dressing areas and ample space to create further rooms should one require.
To further compliment this lovely home, is a large mature garden measuring approximately 450 sqm with ample space for outdoor entertainment, as well an interconnecting lock-up garage/parking to accommodate four to five cars. A treasure trove on our island in the Mediterranean.
