this living level terrace might not have a view in a traditional sense, but peeking up an alley with fire escapes has its own new york charm

the size number would suggest a more practical space than this really is. most of the space does not have the width to accommodate a lot of practical use, but the views are stunning, making it a great place to catch some rays.

five feet of width is a curious constraint on 2,138 square feet. you could host a conga line, single file, and everyone would still enjoy that skyline panorama stretching from the upper west side brownstones to billionaires' row. this direct living terrace has the views, the privacy, the penthouse elevation. the proportions just ask you to get creative with furniture placement, or accept that circulation happens in one direction only. good for solo morning coffee with the whole city spread out below; dinner parties require choreography.

a curved direct living terrace with real entertaining width, fifteen feet across and wall-to-wall glass letting you step straight out. the neighbor sightlines are there, standard manhattan geometry, nothing a few tall planters won't soften. blank canvas right now, which is either a problem or an invitation depending on your patience.

comfortable sized terrace for dining and or relaxing with friends. the views are good.

the privacy fencing around this terrace is very elegant and adds a sense of intimacy. the mature vegetation further enhances the overall impression that this is a cherished space, well enjoyed by the current owner and sure to be appreciated by its future owner.
