when contemplating a terrace, you have to go beyond the square footage and consider the usability of every one of those square feet. an even more important number is width, as this will determine what you can use the terrace for. also, to fully enjoy any outdoor space, it should offer some privacy, while giving some protection from elements as well as noise. so let's consider the terrace belonging to 10b at 540 west 28th street. as a setback, private terrace, it is protected on two sides. as a direct-living terrace it is perfect for indoor-outdoor entertaining. at 13'4" this terrace is plenty wide enough for a dining table, leaving enough room for planters and offering further protection and privacy. and, at 500sf, you have plenty of room for designated dining and living areas. this makes this one of the best terraces available in all the high line - hudson yards area. and since it is one of the most affordable terraced listings along the highline, this is a must-see apartment.what makes this terrace even more desirable is that it is attached to a stunning 1,379sf, 2 bed/2 bath loft-like apartment with western hudson river views and northern light. the apartment is located in a full-service condo building, on one of the most desirable blocks in the area. just as with the terrace, you must go beyond the square footage numbers to truly appreciate this apartment. with 9'4" high ceilings, an open concept kitchen, eco-smart fireplace, floor-to-ceiling double-glazed insulated windows with custom shades, and 7-inch white oak floors throughout, this home feels larger and more spacious than most other apartments of comparable size.the layout of this home is also very efficient and optimizes the sense of space throughout. an obvious example of this is the kitchen. by eliminating the island, the kitchen flows with the living room, making the space feel bigger, but it still has everything one comes to expect in a modern chef's kitchen; detailed walnut cabinetry, honed absolute black granite countertops, a bosch refrigerator, a bertazzoni 4-burner gas cooktop and oven, a viking microwave, a bosch dishwasher, and garbage disposal.the master bedroom has a spectacular picture window over the bed with sunset views of the hudson river and offers a walk-in closet, and en-suite bathroom featuring an over-sized shower, separate tub, corian countertops, and hexagonal tile floor.the second bedroom has extraordinary corner windows with a separate terrace entrance making it a perfect home-office. the hallway connecting the various rooms also offers abundant closets, stacked bosch washer/dryer, and access to the second full bathroom.as a modern, 13-story luxury condominium composed of 90 units, constructed in 2009, +art has all amenities one comes to expect in a small "boutique" condo, including a 24-hour attended lobby, a live-in super, a state-of-the-art fitness center, a landscaped courtyard, and a beautiful common roof deck with wet bar and grill. the block, home to zaha hadid's last masterpiece, as well as isay weinfeld's "jardim", is in the cultural heart of downtown, surrounded by art galleries, michelin-rated restaurants, the celebrated high line and hudson yards.
