Expert Opinion:
this terrace has decent dimensions, but the access through the primary, along with the fencing and the lack of views, will not give it the sense of privacy most buyers look for .

Expert Opinion:
the direct living terrace is very practical, and easily accessible, and clearly got all the love as a result. the back "living level" terrace is hard to reach making it very impractical, views are mediocre from both terraces.

Expert Opinion:
the dual sliding doors provide a seamless, airy connection to the primary suite, but accessing the terrace through a bedroom kills its social utility. while the footprint is practical and views are solid, it functions better as a private morning retreat than a guest-friendly space. it’s a bedroom perk, not an entertaining hub.

Expert Opinion:
the integrated greenery from the adjacent courtyard creates a lush, buffered sanctuary, masking the urban grit. while the dimensions offer solid utility for a morning coffee or a quiet evening, the layout favors intimate solitude over hosting a crowd. it’s a private garden retreat, not a party deck
