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:
five feet of width is a curious constraint on 2,138 square feet. you could host a conga line, single file, and everyone would still enjoy that skyline panorama stretching from the upper west side brownstones to billionaires' row. this direct living terrace has the views, the privacy, the penthouse elevation. the proportions just ask you to get creative with furniture placement, or accept that circulation happens in one direction only. good for solo morning coffee with the whole city spread out below; dinner parties require choreography.

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.
