this home offers multiple outdoor spaces, including a mix of terraces and balconies. while none are large enough for substantial entertaining, each provides a pleasant spot to get fresh air or enjoy a quiet moment. the water views are an added bonus.

lovely place to relax and soak up the view, without the glare of windows. at only 5 ft wide, it can handle some chairs and a bistro table, so you can play backgammon as well.

the surrounding vegetation makes this terrace feel like a garden.

with these dimensions, this terrace has great potential, but is currently underutilized.

twelve feet of width, mature plantings doing the heavy lifting on privacy, and a direct living setup that actually earns the name. the surrounding brick and prewar details give it more character than most midblock courtyards manage. multiple access points and room for two seating areas. neighbors can see in, but so can you.

the only drawback to this utterly charming terrace is that it is only accessible through the bedroom, and possibly its proximity to the brooklyn bridge which is at the same elevation here.

the terrace is too narrow for any use beyond getting fresh air

that floor-to-ceiling glass wall does the heavy lifting here, turning a 240 square foot second level terrace into something that feels like an extension of the living room. mature planters already in place, a proper seating arrangement, and north-facing light that stays soft all day. room for six at drinks, comfortably.

at 436 square feet, the footprint is substantial, but the fencing creates a "closed-in" backyard vibe rather than an open terrace. direct living room access is a win for flow, yet the total lack of enhancement leaves the atmosphere cold. it’s a spacious, private canvas desperately awaiting an actual vision.

very cool space, and the reflecting pool certainly is a unique feature, but together with the hidden storage spaces it takes up half the terrace, leaving you with an elegant space to sit, but not a lot of space to entertain

picture perfect terrace, the main direct living terrace has ideal dimensions, wide enough to dine amongst plants and long enough to have separate space for dining and lounging. all while enjoying a good view

three hundred square feet of direct living terrace on a true penthouse, north and east exposure catching morning light and open sky. the width here allows a proper seating arrangement without anyone feeling cornered. clean pavers, solid parapet walls, decent privacy from neighboring sightlines. good bones for a dinner party, better bones for a quiet sunday read.
