A Unique Property in Naxxar















*****SOLD*****
Once in a while, as I work through my daily inspections, I stumble across a property with truly unique features.

This elegant home is situated on Main Street, in the traditional village core of Naxxar. The once busy street is now residential as shops and traffic have migrated to the new part of town. The properties lining the narrow winding street and once housing the most important residents within the original village, now enjoy a very good amount of peace and tranquillity, albeit only round the corner from the main piazza and the Naxxar Parish Church. The road is however still on the main route of the yearly village procession during the village festa.

What makes this house unique, besides the fact that is completely private and wrapped around it's large internal courtyard; is that it once constituted a large Townhouse, and two smaller Houses-of-Character. These have now been integrated into one lovely property while the traditional facade (niche, statue and all) still has three seperate entrances; that is to the hall, sitting, and sizeable room-in-passaggia-to-courtyard. The very wide front part of the house, and 3 of the bedrooms are in the formal clean-cut Townhouse style, while the kitchen/living room, family room (manger), and 2 bedrooms in the "annex" at the far end of the courtyard, are full of features pertaining to houses-of-character and farmhouses. The best of two worlds!

The full details and photos can be viewed by clicking here. I have managed to secure a sole agency, which therefore makes this sound investment available at a very competitive price. Although the property has 5 bedrooms, 2 of the bedrooms are independently accessible from the street, as is also another unused room which would make an excellent independent office.

Fire safety regulations for apartment blocks to be proposed by CPD in coming weeks

Regulations will prevent fire incidents from escalating  The Civil Protection Department is in the coming weeks proposing a number of fire safety regulations for apartment blocks.  The measures follow recommendations in an inquiry led by Magistrate Joseph Mifsud following a fire at 77 “Waterways” Flat 3, Triq l-Aħmar, Marsascala, during which a man had lost his life. Six people had also been hospitalised.  They include that fire drills led by the administrator should be carried out in every apartment block, that each block should have fire extinguishers u fire blankets at a place that was visible and accessible and that there should be a smoke and fire detection alarm in the common area.  Other proposals are for emergency exit signage, easy accessibility to roofs, and that callers to emergency number 112 should give as much information as possible and identify a landmark for a faster response time.  These, the CPD said in a statement, were some of the measures that could be

The Villa Madama auction

Image
Something is clearly amiss. A landmark property has just gone under the hammer, selling at an unbelievable price when compared to other properties. But here's the quandary. Can such a property be benchmarked at all? My starting point is pretty basic. How many upmarket apartments can be bartered for this well maintained landmark property of historical value located next door to the President of Malta's palace?The shocking answer seems to indicate not even two.
