I am the owner. My contact information is amy.fostering8@gmail.com . If you are interested, a local realtor can contact you and show you the house.
This is a cozy, ground floor apartment located in a 3-story family house, with everything you need. It has 2 bedrooms and 1 full bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, living room, dining room with glass ceiling and laundry room with washing machine.
About Location: In front of the house there is a nice park. The neighborhood is safe and quiet. Around 3 blocks away you will find the biggest park called “Paraiso.” The bus stop is only 2 blocks from the house, that will take you to Downtown within 7 minutes or less. Nearby you will find groceries, markets, restaurants, and — in a few months nearby, there will be the biggest Supermaxi of Cuenca. The mall is only 10 minutes car distance and Yanuncay river is just 1 block from there. In other words it is an excellent location!
This exquisite, contemporary 3-bedroom Challuabamba townhouse will be featured in the Best Homes of Ecuador book, “Casas Contemporaneas del Ecuador” coming out in July, 2021. The designer house was one of 40 homes selected from around the country illustrating excellence in design and now you can own this architectural wonder for yourself.
This two-story townhouse is located in a small cul-de-sac just two blocks from the soon-to-be-open Supermaxi grocery store in an upscale neighborhood with three other attached homes as part of the community. There are also small common and green areas surrounding the property and two private gates allowing for complete privacy and safety.
The home itself is 400 square meters (4306 square feet) and is an open concept, light, and airy work of art. Windows and skylights are everywhere and the native wood and stone accents, the open living, dining room, and kitchen area flow, and a beautiful outdoor sunroom and terrace that is covered, but with strategically located air pockets that provide fresh breezes while alleviating moisture in the sunroom, make this a very special property. The terrace accommodates a large seating area, a dining table and chairs, plants, and a full outdoor kitchen making this a wonderful place for everyday relaxing or large-scale entertaining.
The home comes with 498 square meters of land. The communal area including the access road has about 950 square meters.
The kitchen has a huge sit-around island and bar area and tons of cupboards, storage, and working surfaces. Some of the appliances may be negotiated in the purchase price. Also on the ground floor is a children’s playroom that could easily be converted into an office, a second bedroom, or a TV library area. There is a family room here as well, and also on the first floor a large laundry room with a sink and a skylight and a social/guest bathroom.
Up a fabulous wooden and glass staircase is the second-floor bedrooms and two baths. The master bedroom is en suite and the 2nd bathroom is shared by the two guest rooms. What is striking about the living quarters is the amazing amount of light, thanks to multiple skylights. A striking wooden latticework divider separates the downstairs from the upstairs and creates a dynamic decorative visual and privacy screen for both floors.
The home is a complete “smart home” with every bell and whistle available for turning on room-to-room music, lights, alarms, cameras, and both entertainment and safety features that can be programmed in the home or from your phone when you are away from the house.
The beautifully manicured lawn and pavers lead to a large covered garage big enough for two cars and storage.
The asking price for this exquisite contemporary 3-bedroom Challuabamba townhouse is $490,000
Unfurnished. Negotiable. Pets are allowed.
Address: Challuabamba, Cuenca.
