This is an amazing investor or future relocation oppotunrity with a built-in 6 month renter willing to pay $800 a month and have your furnished condo ready for occupancy or future tenants by January, 1, 2026. 

The current owner is building a new home that is expected to be completed by the end of December, 2025. He is seeking to sell the condo now, and lease it back from the buyer for six months at $800 per month. This offers the perfect solution for someone not quite ready to move—perhaps you're selling your own home, tying up loose ends, or just want to lock in a prime property before prices rise further or the property is sold. You’ll have a solid tenant in place and a defined move-in timeline—or simply a 6-month stream of income if you’re purchasing as an investment.

Located in the heart of Cuenca’s historic district, this 1238 sq. ft., 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath, open-concept apartment is full of color, light, and charm. With double-paned windows and a front-facing view of the street, you’ll enjoy a bright, “happy” living space with front-row views of downtown action—yet a surprisingly quiet condo inside.

The spacious living room features colorful décor and a dining area with a vertical fireplace, perfect for cozy nights at home. The large kitchen has vibrant blue cabinetry and high-end appliances, such as  a full-size refrigerator, five-burner gas stove, oven, range hood, and dishwasher, all included in the purchase price. Certain furniture pieces and other accessories may be negotiated.

A separate laundry room includes a stackable washer and dryer -- also included in the sale -- and lots of cabinetry and storage, plus there's an additional guest bathroom just beyond there the laundry room that serves as a social bath.

Both bedrooms are en-suite. The primary bathroom has a Bidet and a hydro massage tub and shower. The primary suite also has built-in closets, a custom cabinet for a large-screen TV, storage and collectibles, and overlooks a serene, plant-filled light shaft, with blackout curtains for restful sleep. 

The guest suite features a long wall of closets and an extra closet space inside the room that could easily be removed to expand the room. Regardless, storage is plentiful in this quiet, distinct unit in the heart of El Centro. The guest room is currently set up as an office space, but it is meant to be a proper guest room and fully designed to accommodate a queen-sized bed -- or you can keep it as an office or TV room. The guest room also has a full tub and shower.

This three-story walk-up has a dumbwaiter that brings your groceries and heavy items right to your door. Known for its award-winning construction and built to North American standards by Cuenca’s most celebrated architects, the building features a lush park-like interior courtyard, and a rooftop terrace with spectacular city and river views. Secure bike storage is also found in this building.

There are two entrances. One is directly off Calle Larga -- a famous street, blocks from Parque Calderon and the town center,  where you'll find everything from fine dining and rooftop restaurants, cozy cafés, diverse international cuisine, to art galleries, museums, shops, and one of Cuenca’s best Mercados. The second entrance is right off the beautiful river walk, where you can walk, bike, or simply relax on the river banks. This entrance also leads directly to a bridge and into the "New"  Cuenca, where more dining, shopping, banking, and two of Cuenca's top-rated hospitals are within walking distance. The old and new parts of the city are easily accessed on foot, separated only by the river that runs right behind the building.

This unit’s central location and excellent walkability make it a consistent performer for both long-term and short-term rental strategies. In a market where desirable, centrally located condos are increasingly hard to come by, this one already has a high-quality tenant and a set rental agreement in place. And, as your own live-in dream condo, it doesn't get better than this if you're looking for city living, in a beautiful, award-winning building, but just need a little time to make the move (while making money in the process!)

Listed at $260,000, with a monthly HOA of $112, this property offers both flexibility and future potential—whether you’re planning ahead for your next move or simply looking for a smart, income-producing investment in the heart of Cuenca, this is an amazing investor or future relocation opportunity.
