seven hundred square feet of direct roof terrace at sixteen feet wide, which puts it firmly in outdoor living room territory. mature ornamental grasses and a proper tree already established, city skyline peeking over the low-rise rooftops. privacy reads as genuine here; no neighbor sightlines to speak of. the virtually staged furniture actually fits, which tells you something. a 240 square foot direct living terrace downstairs handles the morning coffee.

Expert Opinion:
twelve feet of width on a second level terrace, and they've actually done something with it. that composite bench runs long enough for a proper stretch, and the young trees in those planters will fill in nicely over the next few summers. the skyline view past that glass tower gives you something to look at besides your neighbor's hvac. good privacy here, which on a rooftop in manhattan usually means the surrounding buildings haven't figured out their own outdoor spaces yet. room for a small dinner party, solo morning coffee, or just watching cranes build the next thing blocking someone else's view.

Expert Opinion:
west-facing, water views, sunset doing exactly what it should. the photo tells a prettier story than the five-foot width suggests, which means someone staged it well. a direct living terrace this narrow is cocktails for two, not dinner for six. the sectional looks comfortable; just don't try walking past it.

Expert Opinion:
that door opens directly from the living room, which technically makes this direct living. but at 160 square feet with what looks like barely enough depth for two chairs and a potted olive tree, we are in balcony territory here. views are pleasant, neighbors can see you. morning coffee, not dinner parties.

$3,250,000
Expert Opinion:
four feet of width puts this firmly in standing-room territory, which the single potted tree seems to understand. a direct living connection saves it from irrelevance, and the west-facing city views deliver a decent sunset consolation. room for two people who like each other, or one person who doesn't.
