narrow terrace this high up has a very limited practicality. the building is smack in the middle of midtown, so the views will be interesting but limited.

Expert Opinion:
too many terraces to keep track of (7) making the outdoor accessible from every major room. but the direct living terrace is the one that all terraces in manhattan will be measured against.

two lovely terraces, the direct living terrace has easy access to the kitchen, making it perfect for dining, while the direct roof is perfect for larger scale entertaining, and bbq-ing

Expert Opinion:
while this terrace offers a massive length that runs the full span of the loft, its 4-foot width makes it a linear observation deck rather than a lounge. it’s a spectacular "standing room only" gallery for midtown views—perfect for a breath of air, provided you don't mind staying single-file.

Expert Opinion:
the direct living terrace in this home is almost useless beyond framing your views with plants, but that is ok, as the direct roof terrace is very spacious and practical
