long but narrow, with limited practical use

that door opens directly from the living room, which technically makes this direct living. but at 160 square feet with what looks like barely enough depth for two chairs and a potted olive tree, we are in balcony territory here. views are pleasant, neighbors can see you. morning coffee, not dinner parties.

lovely direct living terrace, with outstanding landscaping. the distant views are great, and open. the distance from the open, useable area to the kitchen is a bit long.

four feet of width puts this firmly in standing-room territory, which the single potted tree seems to understand. a direct living connection saves it from irrelevance, and the west-facing city views deliver a decent sunset consolation. room for two people who like each other, or one person who doesn't.

the direct living balcony offers immediate utility, while the direct roof terrace provides the scale for genuine entertaining. up-close midtown views are the primary asset, though the "virtual staging" masks a space requiring significant work to reach its potential. it’s a high-impact project for those willing to sweat.

these terraces present great possibilities and have stunning views, they will need some work.
