Expert Opinion:
a second level terrace with 259 square feet sounds generous until you notice the five foot width. that is bistro territory, not entertaining territory. the caution tape in the photo suggests someone agrees. views toward midtown are solid, privacy is real, but two chairs and a coffee is the ceiling here.

Expert Opinion:
a living level terrace that opens through those glass doors to a proper village tableau: neighboring brick townhouses, mature ivy climbing the wall next door, garden views below. six feet wide keeps it intimate, room for a bistro table and morning coffee with the orchids. the neighbors can see you; you can see them. that is the deal.
