Birkirkara, Habitable House Of Character

A rare property. This palatial, wide-fronted, baroque house is rich in period architectural features dating back to the 1700’s that enhance the symmetrical layout, where a 500-sqm. mature garden and street-level garage add to its appealing setting in an old neighbourhood of Birkirkara. Further layout on the ground floor comprises : a hall with barrel-vaulted ceiling which offers access to two bedrooms on one side and the garage on the other, then leads onto a loggia and a similar hallway beyond, offering a vista from the front door to the walled back garden full of orange and other fruit trees. Additionally, one also finds two internal courtyards that bathe this home with natural light all year round, a separate, kitchen/breakfast room, large dining room, adjoining a small sitting room, which overlook the garden and courtyard area. An imposing stone main staircase at the front of the house, as well as another secondary stone staircase towards the back, lead up to the first floor, where there is a “sala nobile” (an imposing sitting room with an open fire-place), adjoining library/study and large bedroom. A sunlit conservatory with large arched windows overlooking the two courtyards, separates this area from an additional 3 bedrooms, one with an en-suite shower room, two other separate bathrooms and a toilet. At roof / airspace level a further recessed floor may be added.
