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.

the views from this low-key, low-floor terrace are of old soho, the way it was years ago, not of the open air mall it has become.

Expert Opinion:
a 15-foot width provides exceptional scale for this direct living terrace, allowing for full-scale outdoor living and dining. the setting is remarkably rare; being enveloped by a mature pine forest creates a sense of total seclusion and a unique, tranquil atmosphere seldom found in such a spacious property.
