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.

Expert Opinion:
that curved glass wall does most of the work here, pulling the terrace into the living room like an extension of the floor plan. a proper direct living setup with a bistro table already staged, though 297 square feet wants more than two chairs. north-facing city views into neighboring windows, which means evening drinks come with an audience.

Expert Opinion:
cedar fencing this tall buys you privacy from the street, though the neighbors above still have front row seats. twenty feet of width and 500 square feet is proper outdoor room territory, and someone already furnished it that way. west-facing means afternoon light and a patio heater for when that fades. the mature tree softens what is otherwise a blank slate, no landscaping to speak of beyond borrowed greenery. a living level space that actually lives like one.

Expert Opinion:
this terrace has a practical layout and dimensions. however, the metal railing robs the place of any intimacy while leaving you somewhat overexposed. the only way to remedy that is by using copious vegetation.

Expert Opinion:
fourteen feet of width on a direct roof terrace means you can actually seat six for dinner without anyone feeling like they're about to go overboard. the landscaping is already grown in, complete with japanese maples that took someone years to establish. west-facing catches the good light, neighbors can peek but the built-in benches and mature plantings create enough of a buffer. this one is ready to host.

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.
