This 1,733 sq. ft Turi condo in a unique, architecturally-designed building, has spectacular views without the huge price tag. From the terrace and the great room of this 2-bedroom, 2-bath, 161-meter condo, a sea of red Cuenca rooftops and the famed blue domes of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception (the "new" cathedral) can be seen from three different directions, forming a quilt-like montage of the beautiful city of Cuenca. At night the dazzling city lights and the church are mesmerizing. 

The condo has a large great room, an office/studio space that looks out onto the terrace, and a terrace that can easily accommodate tables and chairs for stargazing or watching the city wake up as you have your morning coffee. The two bedrooms are off to the side of the great room. The primary bedroom is en-suite and the second guest room shares the social bath. Both bedrooms have ample storage and the two bathrooms have shower seats for ease and enjoyment of bathing. The condo also comes with one parking space. 

The kitchen, which is off to the side of the great room, is a large gourmet kitchen, updated in 2015 with eye-catching black backsplashes, light wood cabinets and drawers, a five-burner stove, granite countertops, and gorgeous pine wood floors that are found throughout the apartment. A stove, oven, dishwasher, and range hood are included in the purchase price. There is also an area for laundry right off the kitchen, with hook-ups already in place

The great room is perfect for entertaining and is large enough for ample seating, a dining table, and a credenza which is already built-in. A light shaft and skylights, plus the terrace make this condo extremely light and bright. The covered terrace has a lovely wood pergola and brick flooring which adds to the ambiance of this unusual living space and attracts you as soon as you walk into the condo.

The condo is situated in a gated community in the lower Turi area. Turi is a rural parish located in the Cuenca canton and is considered a notable area thanks to its vegetation and forest area, its many restaurants, handicrafts, and the grand vistas that make it a must for any visitor or local wanting to see the scope of the city of Cuenca from a high vantage point. The community has a security guard who is on duty during the day and night, and an extensive security system that is also tied to a local security company, so it's super safe and comforting.

This 1,733 Turi condo, in a unique, architecturally-designed building, has spectacular views without the big price tag and is listed at only $157,000 -- a steal for this unique property.
