Each of the two other bedrooms is inside a bungalow and casita near the private swimming pool. The casita also has a kitchen, making it an almost-separate living space from the main house.

The second master bedroom offers a different relaxing experience. You can admire the La Parroquia Church from the bathroom with a French balcony.

Abundant natural light fills the third ensuite bedroom because of a picture window. Another room functions as a family room and fitness area, although it can be transformed into a fourth bedroom.

If you like a 360-degree view of Centro, the multi-level rooftop terraces would be the best place to see it.

As an investment property, you could rebuild the terraces into a rooftop bar and restaurant to take advantage of the picturesque landscape and skyline.
