Offered at $270,000 USD, this beautifully designed 95 m² (1,023 sq. ft.) two-bedroom, two-bath downtown condo sits quietly along the Tomebamba River, within one of Cuenca’s most admired award-winning condominiums — a striking example of how contemporary architecture and the city’s historic character can exist in perfect harmony.

Part of a carefully executed revitalization project in Cuenca’s historic center, the building was designed to feel connected to its surroundings rather than separate from them. And nowhere is that more apparent than in the apartment itself, where modern lines, natural light, and thoughtful proportions create a home that feels both sophisticated and deeply livable.

One of the things that makes this property so special is the way it balances energy and tranquility. Step outside from the downtown entrance and you are immediately immersed in the life of the city — cafés, restaurants, shops, and the charm of historic Cuenca all just moments away. Enter instead from the riverfront side and the atmosphere shifts completely, with the Tomebamba River and its walking paths becoming part of your everyday routine. Yet despite its central location, the apartment itself feels remarkably peaceful, private, and insulated from the bustle outside.

Inside, the open-concept design allows the living, dining, and kitchen spaces to flow effortlessly together, enhanced by floor-to-ceiling sliding glass doors that fill the home with abundant natural light. Those doors open directly onto a private terrace overlooking the river, surrounding mountains, and the iconic Turi hillside — the kind of view that quietly reminds you every day why people fall in love with Cuenca.

The residence also benefits from a dual orientation, facing both the exterior landscape and an interior courtyard, bringing an additional sense of calm and balance to the space. Clean architectural lines and understated contemporary finishes give the apartment an elegant, timeless feel without ever feeling cold or overdesigned.

Practical details have also been thoughtfully incorporated, including a separate laundry room and dedicated storage unit, adding convenience to the apartment’s refined aesthetic. The home is offered partially furnished, making it ideal either as a full-time residence, an elegant city retreat, or a well-positioned investment in one of Cuenca’s most desirable locations.

Properties that combine architectural integrity, walkability, riverfront living, and genuine tranquility in the historic center are increasingly difficult to find. This apartment offers all of those elements in a way that feels natural, effortless, and distinctly Cuenca.

This beautifully designed 95 m² (1,023 sq. ft.) two-bedroom, two-bath downtown condo is listed for $270,000. The HOA is $85 per month. The price includes all the appliances. Furnishings are negotiable.

Please note: No parking is included with the property.
