Expert Opinion:
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.

this nearly complete wrap around terrace has several useful areas, each of them perfectly curated to connect with he interior. once the vegetation is more mature, it will be perfect.

Expert Opinion:
beautifully landscaped, wider than normal wrap terrace. however, the width is not enough for large scale dinners or socializing. the views are good in parts, but restricted in others.

$4,200,000
Expert Opinion:
seven feet of width is the honest limit for a living level terrace, and this one sits right at that threshold. the brick parapet and flowering planter box do the heavy lifting, creating a corner that actually feels furnished rather than staged. west-facing neighbors have a clear sightline in, so this is coffee for two rather than anything requiring real privacy. the condition is solid, the scale is intimate, the expectations should match.

Chelsea
142 West 21 #2B
$4,200,000
Expert Opinion:
fourteen feet of width through floor-to-ceiling glass, which means the terrace reads as part of the living room even before you step out. west-facing with city skyline views, planters already greening up the edges. some neighbor sightlines, sure, but 485 square feet absorbs that easily. dinner for eight works here.
