This extraordinary three-story, 4,036 sq.ft. penthouse with five private terraces offers the space and privacy of a large house, paired with the security, convenience, and panoramic outlook of ninth floor living. Its remarkable 375 m² interior unfolds across three distinct levels, while five private terraces open the home to mountain horizons, tiled rooftops, changing skies, and city views in every direction.

From sunrise over the mountains to evening lights spreading across the red rooftops of Cuenca, the scenery becomes part of daily life here. Step outside with your morning coffee, watch clouds sweep across the Andes, or gather with friends as Cuenca begins to glow after dark. With five terraces totaling approximately 30 m² (323 sq ft), there is always another perspective to discover.

Unlike some minimalist box condos, this special penthouse is a substantial, welcoming home filled with warm hardwood floors, beautifully crafted staircases, stone accents, built-in cabinetry, generous windows, and rooms designed for actual living. The furnishings, appliances, artwork, and household contents are included, allowing the next owner to arrive with a suitcase and begin enjoying the home immediately.

The main social level creates an inviting flow between the living room, dining room, kitchen, and outdoor spaces. A dramatic stone feature wall anchors the living area, while rich wood floors and comfortable seating make it equally suited for quiet evenings or lively gatherings. Glass doors draw you toward the terraces and the ever-present city views beyond.

The spacious dining room easily features a large table for family dinners, holiday celebrations, or evenings that begin with cocktails and continue long after dessert. Nearby, the large and warm wood-clad kitchen offers extensive cabinetry, generous counters, full-size appliances, and an island that creates a natural place for breakfast, conversation, or helping prepare a meal. Unlike many penthouse kitchens designed mainly for appearance, this one was made to be used.

One of the great advantages of a triplex is the ability to give different parts of life their own space. Here, multiple living and television areas allow everyone to spread out without feeling disconnected. One level can be alive with conversation while another remains peaceful enough for reading, working, or watching a favorite film.

The private office is far more than a desk tucked into a bedroom. It is a bright, dedicated workspace with expansive windows, excellent built-in storage, room for meetings, and its own full bathroom. It could easily serve as a professional home office, private guest suite, library, studio, or comfortable retreat for a live-in caregiver.

Three bedrooms are distributed throughout the home, providing privacy for owners and guests. The primary suite is especially spacious, with hardwood floors, room for a sitting area, direct terrace access, a large walk-in closet, and a substantial private bathroom. Waking here means stepping outside to fresh mountain air and a sweeping view across Cuenca before the rest of the city has begun its day.

The guest accommodations are equally welcoming, with comfortable proportions, excellent natural light, nearby or private bathrooms, and their own sense of separation. On the uppermost level, a cozy bedroom and television lounge sit beneath distinctive architectural lines, including a wonderful arched picture window that frames the city like a living landscape. This level feels removed from everything below and would be ideal for long-term guests, older children, creative pursuits, or a private hideaway.

There is also a separate laundry and service area with the home’s individual water heater, providing the practical space needed to support a residence of this size without intruding on the primary living areas. A landline telephone connection is available.

The penthouse includes two side-by-side parking spaces and two unusually large private storage rooms on the ground floor, each measuring approximately 9 m² (97 sq ft). Together, they provide about 18 m² (194 sq ft) of storage—an exceptional advantage for luggage, bicycles, seasonal belongings, tools, or household overflow.

Puertas del Sol is an established and favored Cuenca building with 24-hour on-site security, two elevators, a gym, and a common salon or event room. The monthly HOA fee is approximately $310.

For buyers who have struggled to fit a lifetime into a conventional apartment, this residence offers a rare alternative: the proportions of a large house, the security and convenience of a condominium, and the views and outdoor spaces that only a penthouse can provide.

This is a home for hosting family without sacrificing privacy, working without surrendering a bedroom, displaying treasured belongings rather than storing them away, and enjoying Cuenca from five different terraces in the sky.

This extraordinary three-story, 4,036 sq.ft. penthouse with five private terraces is listed at $450,000.
