that ornate iron railing and the beaux-arts detailing tell you this is a prewar setback terrace, not a modern afterthought. eight feet of width over central park with billionaires' row as the backdrop. the plantings are thoughtful, the two chairs positioned for morning coffee rather than dinner parties. a second level terrace built for contemplation.

Expert Opinion:
this living level terrace suffers from a serious identity crisis. while the access from the kitchen and bedroom is convenient, the 7-foot width is a deal-killer for functional dining. hampered by restricted views and cramped dimensions, the space remains more decorative than an actual extension of the home’s living area.

$2,100,000
Expert Opinion:
direct living with fourteen and a half feet of width, which means the dining table and the lounge seating actually coexist without a turf war. the planters are in, the furniture works, and you can see into adjacent buildings about as well as they can see into you. a proper outdoor room for six, maybe eight if everyone likes each other.

Expert Opinion:
this terrace has nice dimensions; however, the prevailing winds over the hudson river can be restrictive, and the digitally removed privacy fence with the neighbor is a bit of an eyesore.
