this floorplan offers two distinct outdoor experiences. the direct living terrace is built for entertaining, boasting ample space for a full dining setup, though a prominent wall unfortunately kills a chunk of the utility. conversely, the living level terrace off the primary bedroom is functionally tight but compensates with spectacular skyline views.

Expert Opinion:
nine feet of width, glass railings, and living walls already grown in on two sides. a proper direct living setup that actually functions as a room. the grill sits ready, the seating invites a small dinner party, and the midtown skyline fills in the gaps. neighbors can see you; you can see them back.

Expert Opinion:
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.
