fantastic terrace, with spectacular views, however the true standout feature is the media or sun-room, constructed on the roof, it creates a visual interconnectivity between the inside and the outside.

Expert Opinion:
the terrace here is just large enough to be useful. however, to stand out feature of this terrace is the proximity to the tree. it is always a treat to be surrounded by vegetation, but when that vegetation requires no maintenance for you whatsoever is an absolute win.

Expert Opinion:
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

Expert Opinion:
the upstairs terrace is large enough to be really practical, but it has two serious negatives, it has no privacy from your neighbor, and you have to traverse the bedroom to get there.

Expert Opinion:
a direct living patio tucked into a brick courtyard, hedged in for privacy from the fire escapes overhead. the virtual staging shows six for dinner, which feels optimistic but not impossible. lower floor means wind protection and limited sun, the classic trade. real plantings would help more than the faux boxwood wall.

Expert Opinion:
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.
