excellently sized direct living terrace, but needs some serious tlc to live up to its potential.

the main outdoor spaces for this apartment are balconies, and the only terrace has almost no value,as it is only accessible through a common space, and has very restricted view, with most of the views take up by the elevator shaft of the neighboring new construction.

20 ft wide is plenty for even large scale entertaining, and it can easily become a de-facto living room when the weather allows

direct living terraces do not come much better laid out than this with direct access from both the living room and the kitchen.

too small for anything beyond smoking or lingering. but the views will make it a favorite spot for those.

direct living through floor-to-ceiling glass, and they've actually furnished it like someone plans to use it. at 7.6 feet wide, you're in that practical-but-limited zone; the lounge setup works, a dinner party doesn't. courtyard orientation means neighbors have sightlines and the sun plays hard to get. string lights help.

the front facing direct living terrace has the dimension needed for dining and lounging simultaneously, making it an excellent place to be, especially with lush vegetation.

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.

while the primary bedroom outdoor space is just a narrow balcony, the direct living terrace is just large enough for a small dining table along a seating area. by splitting the square footage, neither area achieves the scale necessary for true entertaining, resulting in high-altitude utility rather than luxury.

fanatastic indoor-outdoor flow give this a real surreal vibe, especially with open views of both the river and the city skyline the size of this terrace also mean that everything is possible.

lovely direct roof terrace with a rare built-in fireplace and kitchen. perfectly located to create separate areas for living and dining.

the direct living terrace is really all you need in this apartment. its generous size and easy access from the living room make it perfect for socializing. as lovely as the upper-level terrace is, it’s really just a bonus.
