Penthouse with Two Terraces on the Yanuncay River

About this property

On the top floor of Prados de Yanuncay, on the bank of the Yanuncay river, this 172m2 three-bedroom penthouse is unusual in facing two directions at once. The primary terrace runs the full width of the apartment and looks out over the river and the public linear park that follows it, with a walking and cycling path beginning directly outside the building. Because the park and the river occupy the ground in front, the outlook cannot be built out. The rear terrace faces the opposite way, towards the mountains and the Cajas, and all three bedrooms open onto it. Both terraces are covered by glass roofs (rear terrace entirely, river terrace partially). The rear terrace holds an enclosed laundry. An outdoor kitchen / bbq area with a counter and sink runs along the brick wall on the river terrace, and plumbing is already in place for a jacuzzi at the far end. The interior is arranged as a single social space. The kitchen opens to the dining area and the dining area to the living room, and the full glass wall folds away onto the river terrace, so the two combine to form one large room to enjoy Cuenca's spring-like weather. Each of the three bedrooms has its own bathroom, and a powder room serves guests. The master takes the mountain view through a large window and has a dressing room and a double vanity; its windows are double glazed, and the apartment is notably quiet for a top floor in Cuenca. The lift rises to this floor and opens directly into the apartment on secure card entry. The property includes two covered parking spaces and a separate storage room. The condominium is walled and gated with facial recognition entry, and has its own generator, transformer and water cistern. The monthly alicuotas (the condominium fees) for the apartment, its two parking spaces and the storage room total $181. The building's gas and electricity are billed on top as a metered share, usually $11 to $15. A note on the terraces: together they measure approximately 175 m2 and are in the exclusive use of this apartment, but they are not recorded as private area in the condominium's Declaratoria de Propiedad Horizontal. They do not form part of the 172.70 m2 above and are not included in any published area total.
