the positioning of this building, and this terrace, make its views unique. however, it also robs it of some of the privacy one comes to expect at this price point.

the terrace has the size, and proximity to the kitchen to be practical, it is well protected by taller loft building surrounding it, but as those are mostly commercial, it does not hinder privacy while still protecting it. personally i would put a brink pizza oven in one far corner and a built in charcoal grill on the other side with a large counter between and, get some vegetation.

Expert Opinion:
seventeen hundred square feet of direct living terrace with mature plantings that took someone a decade to grow. dining for eight under the umbrellas, a separate lounge area, and still room to pace while on a call. north and south exposure keeps it lit without baking. the neighbors have no idea you exist up here.

Expert Opinion:
those mature japanese maples took years to establish, and they're doing the heavy lifting here. seven hundred square feet on a second level terrace, thirty feet wide, room for proper dinner parties. the exposure situation is real, neighbors have sightlines, but the trees help. good sun, city views, a penthouse that actually functions as an outdoor room.
