proportion are fine, but a bit tight, however, the views make this an outstanding terrace.

a direct living terrace with over 2,000 square feet and 30 feet of width is the kind of space that earns the word penthouse. the pergola creates a proper outdoor room, not just a platform with furniture. city and water views, solid privacy, and enough square footage to host everyone you know or blissfully ignore them all.

points for access from both the living room and primary bedroom are rare, ensuring a seamless flow for entertaining. the generous dimensions offer genuine utility for guest seating, while the intimate midtown views provide a dramatic backdrop. this terrace is a high-impact social asset and the primary draw for any gathering.

three hundred fifty square feet wrapped around a bulkhead, which is the second level arrangement you accept when the empire state building peeks over your shoulder. ten feet of width handles a proper dinner for six, and someone's already scattered enough seating zones to prove it. the young planters will need time, but the bones work. privacy here comes from altitude and indifferent neighbors, the best kind.

those pines took a decade to reach that height, and they're doing real work here, softening the neighbor sightlines without blocking the rooftop tableau. a direct living terrace with actual furniture depth, sectional and dining already coexisting comfortably. the layered planter boxes add privacy where it counts. morning coffee, evening drinks, the space earns both.

pleasant views are the standout feature of this private hideaway, hidden behind higher than average railing and a privacy fence separating you from your neighbor. access through the primary is a minus.
