cedar fencing this tall buys you privacy from the street, though the neighbors above still have front row seats. twenty feet of width and 500 square feet is proper outdoor room territory, and someone already furnished it that way. west-facing means afternoon light and a patio heater for when that fades. the mature tree softens what is otherwise a blank slate, no landscaping to speak of beyond borrowed greenery. a living level space that actually lives like one.

Expert Opinion:
a direct living terrace with over 2,000 square feet and 30 feet of width is the kind of space that earns the word penthouse. the pergola creates a proper outdoor room, not just a platform with furniture. city and water views, solid privacy, and enough square footage to host everyone you know or blissfully ignore them all.

pleasant views are the standout feature of this private hideaway, hidden behind higher than average railing and a privacy fence separating you from your neighbor. access through the primary is a minus.

Expert Opinion:
points for access from both the living room and primary bedroom are rare, ensuring a seamless flow for entertaining. the generous dimensions offer genuine utility for guest seating, while the intimate midtown views provide a dramatic backdrop. this terrace is a high-impact social asset and the primary draw for any gathering.
