the only drawback to this utterly charming terrace is that it is only accessible through the bedroom, and possibly its proximity to the brooklyn bridge which is at the same elevation here.

terraces with direct rive view are a rare breed, and it makes this terrace special, regardless of its size.

sixteen feet wide with mature plantings already softening the edges, this direct living terrace actually functions like an outdoor dining room. eight for dinner, a separate lounge beyond, and nobody bumping elbows. neighbors have sightlines, sure, but those brick townhouse rooftops across the way aren't exactly hostile witnesses.

a private roof with a direct stair up from a penthouse is one thing. a roof access terrace six flights up from the street is another thing entirely. that said, 500 square feet of southern exposure with mature plantings, a proper dining setup, lounge seating, retractable awning, and open skyline views is doing a lot of work. the grill stays, the neighbors mostly don't. worth the climb.

large underdeveloped space that will need some tlc and a lot of planters to be the standout space is should be.

the main outdoor spaces for this apartment are balconies, and the only terrace has almost no value,as it is only accessible through a common space, and has very restricted view, with most of the views take up by the elevator shaft of the neighboring new construction.
