fantastic views are ensured from every spot on this terrace, too bad most of it is too narrow for most traditional entertaining uses.

someone here actually gardens. that japanese maple in the corner takes years, and the flowering shrubs aren't from a staging company. ten feet wide with a proper lounge setup and a bistro table, all under a retractable awning for the days the sun remembers it exists. a second level terrace upstairs adds another 170 square feet if you need a second act.

long but narrow, with limited practical use

wraparound views of the upper west side skyline with the twin towers of the san remo standing in for a landmark. the paver terrace is dead empty, which is either a blank canvas or a cry for help depending on your disposition. direct living access, real width, and north-facing light that flatters everything but your tan.

the direct living terrace might not be much more than a glorified planting terrace, but the second level terrace is exceptional, with a very high cover that makes it easy to enjoy year around, end stunning views that go forever.

a direct living terrace with 14 feet of width is the real thing, and someone understood the assignment. that hedge wall creates genuine privacy where the buildings wanted to peek in. west-facing means afternoon light, evening drinks, the whole second act of the day. the furniture proves the space actually works.
