This elegant, and charming 3-bedroom, old-world, Cuenca condo with a huge plant-filled terrace, ideal location, and amazing views is ideally located halfway between Supermaxi Las Americas and El Centro, and comes with 4 parking spaces and a bodega storage unit.

This 230 sq. meter (2,476 sq. ft) apartment has a 70 sq. meter (750 sq. ft) terrace and is now available to create your private sanctuary in the city. Situated directly above the tram route, and atop a hill with 180+degree views of the city, the Cajas mountains, Turi and the Tomebamba river, the expansive, single-story condo has a huge living area with two separate seating areas, formal and informal dining enclaves, tons of storage and closet space, a large kitchen with a kitchen table and a good-sized laundry, plus a maid's room and a bathroom directly off the kitchen. All of the living space leads out to the terrace, as does the primary bedroom which has a large, en-suite bathroom with double sinks and a relaxing jacuzzi tub. Views from this high-floor condo are spectacular as are the possibilities to make this unfurnished home exactly what your heart desires. 

But it's the magnificent terrace, adorned with every plant, flowering bush and tree imaginable -- some of which will be included in the purchase price - that gives this condo an enchanting appeal.

A welcoming vestibule leads you into the Great Room with floor-to-ceiling windows and doors taking you to the living and dining areas. Next to the formal dining room is the enclosed kitchen, pantry, and maid's room which could be expanded into an even larger walk-in pantry off the laundry room. Doors leading to the terrace can also be found off the kitchen, where kitchen herbs are ready to grab for your next homemade meal.

Down a hallway off the main Great Room, are the three bedrooms, all en-suite. The bedrooms rotate around a central area currently used as a TV/family room. There is also a social bath and a bathroom off the maid's room. Storage and a pantry in the kitchen make this the ideal place for a food connoisseur to make and bake delicacies sure to delight friends and family.

The apartment is located in a well-built and beautifully maintained 24/7 security building with 2 elevators. Once in the apartment, everything is conveniently found on one floor, with a house-like feel rarely found in city apartments.

All appliances are included in the purchase price. The HOA is $225 per month, including 24/7 security and 4 parking spaces among other amenities.
