clear proof that high parapets do not detract from a terrace, it might reduce the views, but it can create intimacy, and when you have a full kitchen and good vegetation it make for a super spot for entertaining.

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.
