this terrace was build out years ago, and seems poorly maintained since, still useable, but will need some serious tlc before throwing a party. it is also tucked in between building so there in no view to speak of.

Expert Opinion:
the size number would suggest a more practical space than this really is. most of the space does not have the width to accommodate a lot of practical use, but the views are stunning, making it a great place to catch some rays.

Expert Opinion:
a curved direct living terrace with real entertaining width, fifteen feet across and wall-to-wall glass letting you step straight out. the neighbor sightlines are there, standard manhattan geometry, nothing a few tall planters won't soften. blank canvas right now, which is either a problem or an invitation depending on your patience.

Expert Opinion:
direct staircase access via spiral, which sounds romantic until you try to get patio furniture up there. a true penthouse roof with decent square footage, flanked by hvac equipment and neighboring brick. the virtual staging is doing heavy lifting; the reality is raw concrete and mechanical views. potential exists, but this is a project.
