the distant skyline views from the lower east side penthouses are epic, and this one follows that pattern. the space is there to be practical, but little has been done so far to make it welcoming.

blurring the lines between a loggia and a terrace, these outdoor spaces have the benefit of protection from the rain, but the heavy columns rob it that feeling of open sky views.

large underdeveloped space that will need some tlc and a lot of planters to be the standout space is should be.

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

while the direct living terrace layout is a functional masterpiece, the severely hampered views give it a "witness protection" vibe. at 16' x 50', the dimensions are actually spectacular, making the utility anything but decorative—provided you enjoy looking at a wall instead of the skyline.

more terrace space than you will know what to do with... every major room has direct terrace access, and that is special.

a living level terrace with 19 feet of width is doing real work. lounge zone, dining for six, fire pit corner, all distinct and none competing for space. the cedar planters are young but filling in nicely. neighbors can see you; you can see the skyline. fair trade, honestly.

the buildings architectural details add a pleasant dimension to the small-ish terrace, the views take care of the rest.

this terrace offers a decent footprint with a natural flow that extends the living space effectively. the existing mature vegetation provides an established, lush atmosphere that is difficult to replicate quickly. coupled with pleasant views and ample size, it represents a well-proportioned outdoor asset that feels both private and substantially integrated.

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 dimensions for this direct living terrace are decent, but very similar to many balconies. and with no pictures available of it, one can only wonder why.
