this direct living terrace commits to being a true outdoor room, with enough width for a proper lounge and dining arrangement without anyone bumping knees. the exposed brick wall and columnar hedges create a sense of enclosure, even if a few neighbors can peek in. west-facing city views at dusk earn the string lights.

Expert Opinion:
nice sized terrace, and the inclusion of mature trees make it very interesting, however it does not have good views

Expert Opinion:
this well sized private roof is under appreciated and completely undeveloped, with some planning it could be a nice place with great views, although its overexposure will need to be dealt with. and access is a nightmare.

Expert Opinion:
four feet of depth is the polite way of saying bistro seating only, and the photo confirms it. a small table, two chairs, one potted plant, and the conversation stops there. what saves this direct living terrace is the view south to billionaires' row, which does most of the heavy lifting. morning coffee with the supertalls, evening drinks with the same. good privacy, decent light, and enough space for exactly two people who like each other.

Expert Opinion:
west-facing with nearly eleven feet of width, which lands firmly in usable territory. the sectional actually fits without apology, and there is room to walk past it. city views in every direction, good light in the afternoon, neighbors apparently minding their own business. a direct living terrace that functions like one should.

Expert Opinion:
two distinctly different terraces offering different experiences. the seamless connectivity with the direct living terrace make it very practical despite its lack of width, but for real entertaining, one would use the direct roof terrace.
