Expert Opinion:
small private terrace tucked into the corner of the building. it has great privacy and quiet, at the expense of views.

Expert Opinion:
direct living with eleven feet of width, so you can actually arrange furniture like a human being. west-facing loggia setup means afternoon light and some neighbor sightlines, which is the trade for city views at this scale. multiple access points keep traffic flowing. a hundred fifty square feet that functions like more.

Expert Opinion:
a 15-foot width provides exceptional scale for this direct living terrace, allowing for full-scale outdoor living and dining. the setting is remarkably rare; being enveloped by a mature pine forest creates a sense of total seclusion and a unique, tranquil atmosphere seldom found in such a spacious property.

Expert Opinion:
to narrow to have any practical use and the fact the windows are made opaque suggests the view is also not worthy, but that is a missed opportunity as that makes it perfect for planting to control your views

Expert Opinion:
this 864-square-foot terrace is a bit of a paradox. while the limestone says "pritzker prize luxury," the surrounding mechanicals scream "midtown reality." even with some serious greenery, you're competing with a lot of building hardware. it’s a massive footprint, but keeping it "zen" will be your biggest renovation project.
