This gorgeous, 4-bedroom contemporary Turi home has the best views in Cuenca. Situated high on top of a hill in Turi -- just minutes from downtown Cuenca -- you get a panoramic view of the entire city, as well as mountains and valley vistas, making the ever-changing views truly one-of-a-kind. Red tiled roofs, the blue domes of the new Cathedral in El Centro, and the spectacular El Cajas mountains can all be seen from the downstairs and upstairs living areas, in the en suite master bedroom, and in the upstairs family room.

The modern, newly-built 500 sq. meter home (5,382 sq. feet) is situated in an exclusive, upscale gated community, with 15 homes and has 400 sq. meters of land.

The home has an open concept living, dining room, and kitchen and floor-to-ceiling windows to take in the surroundings and bring brightness and light into this architectural wonder.  A large stone ornamental piece in the living room mirrors the rock wall on the side of the house, making a dramatic statement. The floating wooden stairs and an amazing wooden door bring warmth and another organic element into the home. An outdoor fire pit and seating area are right off the living room facing the fantastic views of Cuenca.

The kitchen, with glossy black cabinets, white countertops, and wooden accents completes the open floor plan, and a large, walk-in pantry and an eat-in bar makes it perfect as a family hangout or an entertainment area with plentiful storage.

On the first floor, there is also a primary bedroom and bath and a door to the small backyard, where a storage area and laundry room are located.

A beautiful hardwood floating staircase takes you up to the second floor where there are three additional bedrooms. On the landing is a family room, with views of the city, draped against the mountains, and another view down into the living space. 

The very large master bedroom has its own en-suite bath with a jacuzzi tub, a designer tiled shower, and a separate steam room, making this a relaxing and inviting sanctuary. There is also a walk-in closet.

The two other bedrooms share a large bathroom.

This gorgeous, 4-bedroom contemporary Turi home is listed at $500,000 and is unfurnished, but does come with appliances.
