Expert Opinion:
mature hedging already at chest height, a sectional that seats six comfortably, and prewar brick towers framing the sightlines instead of blocking them. twelve feet of width on a direct living terrace is the threshold for actual entertaining, and someone clearly understood the assignment. the plantings soften what could feel exposed; the neighbors appear to mind their own business.

Expert Opinion:
large outdoors located in three disconnected spaces, the views make it a potential canvas for something spectacular. although proximity to a cooling tower is potentially troubling for noise.

Expert Opinion:
a loggia rather than a proper terrace, but that travertine envelope and those full-height doors do the heavy lifting. nine feet of width lets the furniture breathe, though the glass neighbors across the way will know when you've had guests. direct living from what looks like a grand salon, water views slipping through the towers. the plantings are staged, not grown; someone will need to finish the room.
