Light-filled, 2-bed condo with every amenity and huge wrap-around terrace

This beautifully upgraded, light-filled 2-bedroom, 2.5-bath condo in Puertas del Sol with an expansive 2-sided terrace and fabulous mountain and city views, offers something rarely found in Cuenca — a truly high-design home where every detail has been thoughtfully considered and executed.

The condo has 24/7 guard service and a fob-controlled elevator providing both peace of mind and a sense of quiet exclusivity for residents and their guests. Additional features include two elevators, a backup generator, an underground parking space, and a private storage unit (bodega).

Located in one of the city’s most desirable neighborhoods, favored by both expats and locals for its walkability, river access, and proximity to restaurants and cafés, the apartment spans 208 sq. meters (2,246 sq. ft), with 156 sq. meters (1,680 sq. ft) of interior space and an additional 52 sq. meters (566 sq. ft) of covered terraces that wrap gracefully around two sides of the home.

From the moment you enter, the space opens wide to light and jaw-dropping views. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors line the exterior walls, drawing in the changing skies and soft mountain light from the Cajas to the west. The effect is immediate — a sense of openness, calm, and quiet sophistication. The indoor and outdoor spaces blend seamlessly here, with covered pergolas extending the living areas outward, creating a flow that makes everyday life feel expansive and relaxed.

The main living area is both elegant and welcoming, anchored by clean lines, warm finishes, and carefully curated lighting. Just beyond, a built-in bar with generous storage creates a natural place to gather, whether for an evening glass of wine or entertaining friends. The space continues outward to an outdoor kitchen, thoughtfully designed with cabinetry, an oversized Kohler farm sink, and a mini refrigerator — perfect for relaxed evenings that move easily between inside and out.

At the center of the home, the custom-designed, chef’s kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful. A large granite island invites conversation and casual dining, while high-end General Electric Profile appliances — including a gas cooktop, convection oven, multi-function microwave, dishwasher, and Insinkerator disposal, all included in the sale.

The open-concept living, dining (a more formal area), and kitchen area is perfect for entertaining, and add the outdoor space, and let the party begin. It’s also great for family functions. All on one floor, the living area also offers an alcove with two desks, perfect for remote workers.

The home offers two spacious bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bath and direct connection to the terraces.

Price: $335,000
