Sitting on a corner lot in front of the Tomebamba River and a tree-lined linear park, this one-of-a-kind property is located in UrbanizaciĆ³n Valle de Los Rios, a friendly residential neighborhood just off the old Pan American Highway. Plantings, flowering bushes and mature trees make this home feel tranquil and peaceful.
