this terrace is too elevated, and too narrow to be practical, and might only ever be accessed by those without any fear of heights

terraces on both side of the living room give the home "glass house" feeling. the prewar feeleing of the surrounding loft building only adds to the charm

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:
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.
