Expert Opinion

the virtually staging of this second level terrace show that some well designed vegetation can distract from the surrounding buildings. while not blocking the views.

with wind protection on three sides. this terrace is very usable, however the protection comes at a cost, there is no outstanding vie to enjoy.

lovely, if somewhat small back yard-like terrace, the mature vegetation that you are not maintaining is a blessing.

Expert Opinion:
the penthouse levels on these townhouses have some of the most enjoyable terraces, and this is a good example. the views are exceptional for the low elevation and size is just perfect for both private view and small group entertaining.

excellent execution of an uptown direct roof terrace, with decent views from every direction. making it exceptional is the versatility with a flush pool on one side and a fireplace lounge on the other.

Expert Opinion:
this is a living level terrace with spectacular proportions and rare connectivity. while the 18th-floor views on 53rd street won't win awards, the "access from everywhere" layout is a functional triumph. it’s less about the skyline and more about the seamless flow, making it a unique outdoor extension of the home.
