This remarkable luxury penthouse in Cuenca’s coveted Puertas del Sol neighborhood features a spectacular 1,417-square-foot terrace with sweeping 180-degree views and is located in a secure, elevator-equipped building with a generator, 24/7 security, a gated off-street setting, and a private park within the complex. The 2,893-square-foot 2-bedroom, 2.5 bath penthouse also includes two parking spaces and an oversized bodega storage unit. This special haven is within easy walking distance of some of the city’s finest restaurants and just a block and a half from the Tranvía, which whisks you into El Centro in minutes.

A private elevator opens directly into the residence. Bathed in natural light from dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows, the penthouse was designed to blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living. The open-concept layout feels expansive yet welcoming, with every major space positioned to capture the extraordinary views that make this condo so unforgettable. During the day, sunlight pours across the living areas while the mountains frame the horizon in every direction. At night, the city below begins to sparkle, transforming the entire residence into something both sophisticated and deeply peaceful.

At the center of the home is a spectacular terrace that completely redefines outdoor living in Cuenca. Nearly as large as the apartment itself, this enormous private retreat has been thoughtfully designed as a true extension of the living space. Filled with mature plants and multiple seating areas, it invites everything from elegant sunset dinners with friends to quiet mornings with coffee overlooking the city. A large fire pit creates an intimate focal point after dark, while existing water, gas, and electrical connections make it easy to add an outdoor kitchen or grilling area for even larger gatherings. Covered spaces allow the terrace to be enjoyed year-round, whether entertaining guests beneath the stars or simply unwinding with the spectacular mountain and city views.

The living area looks out onto the terrace, with an adjoining dining room. The kitchen blends functionality with understated elegance, featuring granite countertops, extensive cabinetry, a large island perfect for gathering around the chef while meals are prepared, and a separate coffee or bar area tucked discreetly off to the side that offers additional counter and storage space. The fully equipped kitchen includes a refrigerator, oven, five-burner gas cooktop, range hood, dishwasher, microwave, and washer and dryer that comes with the purchase price, allowing the next owner to move in effortlessly and begin enjoying the home immediately. Select furnishings are also negotiable.

Privately situated down a lovely hallway, away from the main entertaining spaces, both bedroom suites offer comfort, storage, and tranquility. The primary suite feels particularly luxurious, opening directly onto the terrace and featuring a mirrored walk-in closet, double sinks, abundant built-in storage, and a spa-like steam shower complete with seating.

The second en-suite bedroom is currently configured as a sophisticated office and media room with a pull-out sofa for overnight guests and a two-person workspace, making it ideal for remote work, visiting family, or easily converting back into a more traditional second bedroom, thanks to a row of closets and its own bathroom.

Thoughtful upgrades and conveniences are found throughout the penthouse, including electric blinds, extensive storage, an internal security camera facing the elevator entrance, and private emergency stair access directly from the apartment.

This is more than simply a beautiful penthouse. It is a home designed for living expansively, entertaining effortlessly, and waking up every day feeling connected to the very best of Cuenca.
