eight-seat dining on a direct living terrace is the dream, though the virtual staging is doing some wishful thinking about the width here. real planters are already established along the perimeter, a nice head start. the brick neighbors across the way will be joining you for dinner visually, so this is more tuesday night casual than impress-the-clients territory. still, you walk right out from the living space, and that counts for a lot.

Expert Opinion:
the elevation and the dimensions, as well as the location of these terraces make them a very little practical use. however, the views from this elevation are pretty spectacular. if you must have a cigarette, this is as good places.

triplex apartment with excellently useable terraces on each floor, making it rare in nyc. the one imperfection is the lack of views or ambiance.

Expert Opinion:
the size number would suggest a more practical space than this really is. most of the space does not have the width to accommodate a lot of practical use, but the views are stunning, making it a great place to catch some rays.

Expert Opinion:
five feet of width is a curious constraint on 2,138 square feet. you could host a conga line, single file, and everyone would still enjoy that skyline panorama stretching from the upper west side brownstones to billionaires' row. this direct living terrace has the views, the privacy, the penthouse elevation. the proportions just ask you to get creative with furniture placement, or accept that circulation happens in one direction only. good for solo morning coffee with the whole city spread out below; dinner parties require choreography.
