Expert Opinion:
this living level terrace is a 2,700-square-foot beast with primary access through the kitchen. while it boasts lush vegetation and massive scale, the central park and skyline views are frustratingly tucked away. you essentially have a private park where the best vistas are limited to a single "standing room only" vantage point.

small balcony-like terrace, just perfect to sneak in a smoke. being of a bedroom limits its practicality.

Expert Opinion:
west-facing at this height with one world trade framing every sunset, the view does most of the heavy lifting. eight feet of width is just enough for a proper dining setup, and they have used it well. a direct living terrace with 494 square feet, glass railings preserving sightlines to the harbor and jersey city beyond. good privacy, solid sun, the kind of space where a dinner party actually works.

lovely views from this direct living terrace, but dont let the square footage fool you, as a lot of that space is not suer practical. however there is enough space to allow for dining and lounging.

Expert Opinion:
this terrace has decent dimensions, but the access through the primary, along with the fencing and the lack of views, will not give it the sense of privacy most buyers look for .
