decent sized terrace nicely tucked in the building. this will be crucial for making it usable as the wind can wreak havoc at this elevation in the middle of midtown.

proper penthouse terrace with the tudor city rooftops as your backdrop, which is more personality than most midtown views offer. width looks honest, easily eight feet or better, and the brick parapet adds privacy without feeling caged. a dining table fits naturally, the hostas are thriving, and the lattice screening suggests someone thought this through. good bones, good light, neighbors minding their own business.

this loggia is a legitimate entertaining asset, offering a footprint wide enough for a proper dinner party while actually giving your guests something worth looking at. the chrysler building views do the heavy lifting here, providing the kind of "social draw" that justifies the effort of hosting. it’s a functional, high-impact outdoor room that won't require a miracle or a jungle of plants to make people want to stay.

the direct living terrace is just large enough to comfortably accommodate a dining table and a lounging area, and with good park views that is just what you want there. the living level terrace off the primary is a perfect private retreat.

the integrated greenery from the adjacent courtyard creates a lush, buffered sanctuary, masking the urban grit. while the dimensions offer solid utility for a morning coffee or a quiet evening, the layout favors intimate solitude over hosting a crowd. it’s a private garden retreat, not a party deck.

mature trees, established coleus, a dining setup that seats six comfortably, and still room to spare. this direct living penthouse terrace delivers 15 feet of width wrapped in brick parapets and prewar character. the plantings took years; the privacy comes standard.

with wind protection on three sides. this terrace is very usable, however the protection comes at a cost, there is no outstanding vie to enjoy.

these terraces present great possibilities and have stunning views, they will need some work.

direct living with fifteen feet of width and a hot tub already installed, which is doing most of the personality work here. the frosted glass parapet solves the neighbor sightline problem but also eliminates any view worth mentioning. a blank slate that needs furniture, greenery, and someone with a vision. the bones are generous; the current staging is a rug on concrete.

not wide enough for anything more than some sideways chairs, but this makes for a perfect planting terrace

despite being too narrow to have entertainment value, and lack some views straight out the back, this is a nice respite with its "manmade canyon views" to the east

a good thing about these low floor terraces is that they are very well protected from the wind, especially with a privacy fence like this, the only downside is if it comes at the cost of great views. if vegetation on and off to terrace will give it a very backyard feel in the summer.
