twenty-two hundred square feet of direct living space with mature japanese maples, layered seating zones, and room to host thirty without anyone bumping elbows. the plantings took years to establish. multiple access points mean traffic flows naturally. a rooftop this finished is genuinely rare.

a living level terrace with ten feet of width and room for both lounging and dining, which the current setup demonstrates nicely. city views toward some handsome prewar towers, good sun, and neighbors who mind their own business. the catch: hospital cooling systems nearby create a constant hum. bring conversation, not quiet contemplation.

that boxwood hedge is doing serious work, turning what could feel like a fishbowl into something approaching a private courtyard. twenty feet wide with established plantings already softening the office tower views. a proper dinner for six fits comfortably here, and the neighbors across the way will just have to wonder what you're serving.

a direct living terrace with 20 feet of width and a fire pit already in place, which means someone understood the assignment. the weathered timber screening creates privacy from adjacent buildings, and the mature plantings along the perimeter soften what is otherwise an industrial backdrop. room for dining, lounging, and an actual conversation around a flame.

private direct roof access with 30 feet of width, which is dinner party territory. the mature plantings and weathered deck have that lived-in quality you cannot buy new. exposed to neighbors, yes, but the empire state peeking through softens that concern. remarkably quiet up here, somehow.

well proportioned terrace, with a layout that allows for separate areas for dining and lounging, the connectivity with the interior makes it excellent for entertaining.

this terrace has the dimensions and access to make it spectacular, but the unknown is the views.

the size of this terrace is decent maybe even good and the condition of it is very pleasant. however it is difficult to see it being a practical place.

the direct access from both the kitchen and living room, along with the width of this terrace make it a perfect place for entertainment, it may not get a lot of views, but great sunlight is guaranteed

being in the middle of all the skyscrapers means that the view is limited, but that restriction does not affect your enjoyment, as this is still a nice terrace with room for most uses.

multiple terrace that work together to give the entire home fantastic indoor-outdoor flow with access to private terraces from every major room. the level of care these terraces have gotten, make it a true joy.

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.
