the indoor-outdoor fireplace is certainly a nice touch. one that you do not see too often. the view over park avenue is always a nice feature.

it only 3.9 feet wide. these terraces are too small for anything but stargazing cigar, smoking and cappuccino drinking . but views are decent enough to make those regular occurrences.

Expert Opinion:
most of this terrace is adequate, but it has some spots that are large enough to accommodate a dining table or sectional for lounging. in those spots it is hard to imagine spot to soak up the park.
