Located near the Tombebamba River is a jeweled-toned, one-bedroom, one-bath apartment that is ideal as a live-in condo, a weekend pied a Terre, or an ideal investment or Airbnb property.

The condo sits in one of the most coveted locations in El Centro. You can walk right out your front door and enjoy the hustle and bustle and wonders of the UNESCO World Heritage city and Ecuador’s cultural capital. You are a block and a half from the Mercado — with its fresh fruits and vegetables — and 3 blocks from Calderone Park, the city center. Enjoy your evenings at the Opera, Symphony, Ballet, or sit at a Jazz cafe. Every kind of restaurant and cuisine is also within easy walking distance.

Stroll out the back door and you will feel like you are in a different world. Here, you can enjoy a tranquil walk on the Tomebamba River or sit and read a book on the serene river banks.

This condo, located in the award-winning Casas del Nogal building, is the only unit that sits on the butterfly garden steps away from a rooftop terrace. Peep through the tree from your living area and take a glimpse of the city lights. In the mornings, open the sliding doors and breathe the fresh cool air, and listen to the tranquil sounds of the rapids on the river below. The birds are singing and hummingbirds drinking nectar from the flowers.

Casa del Nogal has 22 apartments and is a favorite of expats and visitors from around the world (http://www.cuencaproperties.com/about-us/our-projects/casas-del-nogal/). The project is made up of a series of constructions interconnected by patios, terraces, and paths which fill the project with natural light. The designers managed to maintain the original trees found on the property, including a walnut tree (nogal) which gave the project its name.

You will also have a full-size washer and dryer to make life easy. Enjoy the glamour of your new bedroom and comfy bed, and sit at your Hollywood vanity admiring the orchids out of the window.

In addition, the apartment includes a laundry closet, built-in cupboards, and desk nook. The price includes upscale furniture, flat screen TV, all appliances, washing machine, and dryer, as well as all dishes, glassware, and linens. There is Fiber Optic Internet installed in the building.
