This gorgeous, furnished, turnkey downtown Cuenca penthouse boasts 3 terraces, amazing views, and two entrances -- one leading out onto the beautiful walking path of the Tomebamba River.

Set high above the iconic El Barranco, this light and bright 1,400 sq. ft. penthouse boasts two spacious bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and the three private terraces that extend your living space into the open air. The largest terrace connects seamlessly with the social area and frames a spectacular view of Cuenca’s beloved blue domes of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception —a daily reminder that you’re living in the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage city. The two other terraces are private retreats of their own, accessed from each bedroom and offering serene views of the mountains and picture-perfect sunsets.

The largest terrace is where you’ll spend your mornings and your magic hours. It's a space made for coffee, cocktails, or just soaking up the rhythm of the city. The other two terraces—tucked off each bedroom—offer quiet corners for fresh air, mountain views, and a perfect perch to catch the sunset. All three come fully equipped with outdoor furniture and ready for lounging and entertaining,

Inside, the open-concept layout is warm and welcoming, with rich wood accents softening the contemporary lines of the architecture. The kitchen is both functional and inviting, featuring a central island, ample storage, and high-end appliances ideal for everything from quiet mornings to hosting a party. A custom dining table leading out to the large terrace is the perfect place for dinner with friends, while the cozy living room has a vertical electric fireplace that keeps you warm on chilly Cuenca evenings as well as a couch and oversized leather ottoman where you can enjoy putting your feet up and watching an old movie.

Designed by the acclaimed team at ISAM and nestled in the heart of the historic center, this turnkey home is a rare opportunity to live in a space where timeless city views, contemporary comforts, and thoughtful design converge. Residents benefit from centralized gas, enhanced security, sound insulation, and premium finishes throughout—a rare blend of old-world elegance and new-world ease.

A communal, central park-like outdoor space is a wonderful gathering spot, with stone benches and a huge avocado tree. There is also a smaller communal terrace with views of the Cathedral and a lovely water feature in the entrance.

The location couldn’t be more ideal either. With dual access—one entrance just steps from Cuenca’s best cafés, museums, and artisan shops, and the other leading directly to the lush walking paths along the Tomebamba River—this home offers both cultural immersion and a peaceful escape. Whether you're drawn to the vibrancy of city life or the calming rhythm of nature, this penthouse places you exactly where you want to be.
