small terrace, but it has potential mostly due to its unobstructed views of midtown in the distance.

what's a pied--terre-and why it matters
a pied--terre is a part-time residence-think of it as your "home away from home" in the city. whether you live out of town full-time or travel often for work, it gives you a comfortable, private place to land whenever you're in new york.
many co-ops don't allow this kind of flexible living-but 328 w 17th #5e does. that means you can enjoy all the benefits of ownership without needing to be a full-time resident. it's perfect for weekend getaways, business stays, or a stylish city escape whenever the mood strikes.
bonus: co-ops that allow pied--terre use often attract smart buyers who value flexibility, making your home more desirable over time.
your european-style escape awaits
whether it's your second home, a weekend city retreat, or a lifestyle investment, this chelsea gem delivers comfort, culture, and connection.
at 436 square feet, the footprint is substantial, but the fencing creates a "closed-in" backyard vibe rather than an open terrace. direct living room access is a win for flow, yet the total lack of enhancement leaves the atmosphere cold. it’s a spacious, private canvas desperately awaiting an actual vision.

Expert Opinion:
the outdoor spaces are less practical than the 800sf suggests, with the bulk of that space as a roof access terrace that has no direct connection to the home.

Expert Opinion:
this terrace has the location, and size to be perfect. the one drawback is that there is no view from the side.
however, in exchange, the building next door offers protection from wind and elements
