generous width on this living level terrace, with ten feet giving you real room for the sectional, the extra chairs, and a coffee table without anyone feeling squeezed. the courtyard orientation means neighbors have sightlines in, which is fine for morning coffee and less ideal for anything requiring discretion. afternoon sun is modest at best.

not large and balcony like in its field but the terrace does come with water views and that's always a good thing even if they're oblique like they are here

the integrated greenery from the adjacent courtyard creates a lush, buffered sanctuary, masking the urban grit. while the dimensions offer solid utility for a morning coffee or a quiet evening, the layout favors intimate solitude over hosting a crowd. it’s a private garden retreat, not a party deck.

narrow but pleasant terrace, the relatively narrow frame of the door along with its oversized opening, make this terrace feel more integrated than it is, and that is a good thing.

this home demonstrates a clever use of outdoor spaces, where some of the smaller terraces off the bedroom and bathroom are perfectly used to creating privacy. the main direct roof terrace is exceptional in its own right with great vegetation used for privacy screening an excellent outdoor kitchen and even a pool.

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.
