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

fifteen feet of width on a direct roof terrace, virtually staged to suggest what's possible, which is plenty. the actual space is a blank slate with good bones, city views over brick parapets, and the kind of quiet that comes from neighbors who mind their business. a second level terrace below adds 160 square feet more.

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.

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.

this photo shows interior rooms, not the terrace itself, which tells you something about marketing priorities. ten feet of width on a direct living setup is solidly usable, enough for a proper table and a few guests who actually like each other. three hundred square feet with city views north and west, some neighbor sightlines to navigate. coffee for one works fine; dinner for six requires strategic seating arrangements and a tolerance for being observed.

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