the terrace is too narrow for socializing, or entertaining, but it has the perfect width for planters, and any greenery would be welcome to cover the concrete retaining wall.

please contact medel payumo for a viewing appointment, at least 24-hours in advance. the entrance to 8 union square south is at university place.
private direct roof access with 30 feet of width, which is dinner party territory. the mature plantings and weathered deck have that lived-in quality you cannot buy new. exposed to neighbors, yes, but the empire state peeking through softens that concern. remarkably quiet up here, somehow.

Expert Opinion:
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.

Expert Opinion:
twenty-two hundred square feet of direct living space with mature japanese maples, layered seating zones, and room to host thirty without anyone bumping elbows. the plantings took years to establish. multiple access points mean traffic flows naturally. a rooftop this finished is genuinely rare.

Expert Opinion:
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
