a proper loggia setup with that pergola overhead, which means you can actually use this direct living terrace in august without melting. the sectional seating arrangement fits comfortably with room to spare, and that decorative ironwork railing frames city views without blocking them. ceiling fan earns its keep here.

with planning this terrace is capable of holding a lounging area along a comfortable dining table and still have rooms for planters and a bbq

at 480 square feet, the second-floor footprint feels more like a private backyard than a typical terrace. the generous size and decent flow are high points, but the perimeter fencing can feel "closed-in." it’s a spacious, protected canvas that offers rare privacy, provided you can handle the urban enclosure.

that curved brick parapet is doing all the heavy lifting here, framing the empire state building like it was designed specifically for this terrace. direct living access to a wraparound with skyline views this unobstructed is genuinely rare. the plantings are modest, a few pots doing their best, but the bones are exceptional. add furniture, add people.

too narrow to get much use, but the view is pretty epic, so you may just want to walk out every one in a while.

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
