four feet wide is standing room and a potted plant, which is exactly what a second level terrace this size delivers. city views north and west, some neighborly sightlines to keep you honest. the broker calls it mostly useless for entertaining, and four feet of depth does not argue back.

two terraces,, each of them has the width to be very practical, and each of them has water views, make his a very unique property.

Expert Opinion:
fantastic terrace in terms of size, the layout is not ideal unless you are an avid swimmer, as the best space of the terrace is exclusively for the pool. privacy is also currently an issue but that can be remedied bu planing a row of pine hedges.

large space, but most of it is unimproved... the biggest unknown is how the nearby mechanicals may affect the noise level on this terrace.

this terrace offers an entire outdoor living experience, proving the versatility of direct roof terraces. the fireplace, spa, and kitchen are fantastic, but the large tv., and wc ensure you can stay there for hours.

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.

Expert Opinion:
this well sized private roof is under appreciated and completely undeveloped, with some planning it could be a nice place with great views, although its overexposure will need to be dealt with. and access is a nightmare.

the terraces are each large enough for a party. and all together they can hold a class reunion, but they lack charm and warmth.

Expert Opinion:
that bamboo screen along the west edge has a few years on it, which means privacy from neighbors without waiting three seasons. thirteen feet of width gives you real furniture options, and the pergola provides shade where manhattan usually forgets to. a direct living terrace with plantings already established is the rare case where someone else did the hard part.
