Expert Opinion:
fifteen feet of width and direct living access, which is the combination that actually matters. the staging shows what's possible, but right now it's a blank slate with city views and neighbors who can see exactly what you're grilling. the bones are excellent; the privacy is not.

Expert Opinion:
virtually staged, which is real estate for "imagine it looked like this." the bones are solid, a direct living terrace with genuine depth and a built-in grill that suggests someone once had intentions. mature trees visible over the parapet walls offer borrowed greenery and a surprising sense of privacy given the neighbors looming. room for a proper sectional, loungers, dinner for eight. the kind of space that rewards actual furniture investment once you strip away the digital promises.

Expert Opinion:
this terrace offers an entire outdoor living experience, proving the versatility of direct roof terraces. the fireplace, spa, and kitchen are fantastic, but the large tv., and wc ensure you can stay there for hours.
