Architectural Marvel 4-Bedroom Cuenca Riverfront Home

This beautiful 4-bedroom,3-bath Cuenca Riverfront home has exquisite stone and wood architectural details that dazzle your senses. 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 Urbanización 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. There is a good-sized front lawn, and the welcoming walking paths along the river extend the opportunities to be in the great outdoors. There is also a new bridge across the river that provides additional exercise and relaxing spaces, as well as a short-cut walk to Cuenca’s famous zoo.

This perfect 240-meter family home sits on a quiet corner on a 200-meter lot and has unique architectural details at every turn.

There are A-frame cathedral ceilings, an amazing hand-crafted spiral wooden staircase, stone archways, colorful cut-outs to display favorite artwork and two living areas — a more formal living room and a family room with a working fireplace. There is also an eat-in kitchen area and laundry room, plus a separate dining room. Upstairs is a sitting room with a terrace overlooking the river, an office space, and two bedrooms and a bath.

The large master suite on the third floor has its own spacious bathroom and a balcony with spectacular river views. The master also has a walk-in closet and an area currently designated as a workout corner.

This special house, on the Tomebamba Rivers, exudes charm, artisan touches, and a wonderful. homey feeling. It is an ideal location for buyers wanting to be close to Cuenca, but with outdoor space and more bang for your buck.
