Description
We are delighted to present as exclusive agents, a charming double-fronted TOWNHOUSE lying in the very heart of the urban conservation area of this picturesque and sought-after Town. This property has been in the same family for almost three decades and the continuity of ownership has ensured that the integrity of this splendid and typical Maltese house remains intact. The layout of the main house is typical of its period. Its original features such as working timber shutters and doors, wooden beams, spiral staircase or ‘garigor’ wrought iron balconies have been retained, while beautifully proportioned rooms and charming decoration create a calming interior. Accommodation incudes a lovely hallway, formal sitting room, office, formal dining, kitchen/breakfast downstairs. A comfortable staircase with wrought iron balustrade rise to the first floor, where one finds 5 double bedrooms (main with en-suite) and 4 bathrooms. The outdoor area with private swimming pool is a particular feature of the house and is immaculately kept within honey coloured stone walls. A ‘stephanotis’ vine creeps across the main wall serving as the perfect backdrop, showing off its delightfully fragranced, starry white flowers and skinny dark green leaves. The property also benefits from a 1 lock-up garage.

Local Information Attard
Ħ'Attard is one of the so-called Three Villages, along with neighbouring Ħal Lija and Ħal Balzan.
Many wealth families built summer residences here in the early years of the 20th century, and the Three Villages are still considered an exclusive urban area. Ħ'Attard lies almost halfway between Malta's medieval capital Mdina and the Knights' `new' capital Valletta. Its position meant the village was always the centre of transport and communication projects between the two. First was the Wignacourt acquaduct, completed in 1615, built to solve the problems of Valletta's drinking water supply. In the late 19th century came the railway, a service which lasted only until the 1930s.
Ħ'Attard today is still characterised by large villas and gardens, the most impressive of which is San Anton Palace built by Grand Master Antoine de Paule in the late 16th century. It is now the official residence of the President of Malta and is used for state functions. The gardens, open to the public, are a baroque masterpiece and oasis of green and calm. The village has many architectural gems, but the highlight is the Parish Church of St. Mary (1616) designed by Maltese architect Tumas Dingli. It is regarded as the best Renaissance monument on the Islands.
Near Ħ'Attard is the Ta' Qali Crafts Village, located on the old wartime airfield, and the National Stadium.
