to narrow to have any practical use and the fact the windows are made opaque suggests the view is also not worthy, but that is a missed opportunity as that makes it perfect for planting to control your views

that curved glass wall does most of the work here, pulling the terrace into the living room like an extension of the floor plan. a proper direct living setup with a bistro table already staged, though 297 square feet wants more than two chairs. north-facing city views into neighboring windows, which means evening drinks come with an audience.

the river views make this small-ish terrace a pleasant place for relaxing. the narrow part is excellent for planters to direct the views where you want them, while the larger part easily accommodates a dining table.

fifteen feet of width on a direct living terrace is the threshold where you stop arranging furniture defensively and start hosting. the artificial turf is a choice, but the western exposure delivers afternoon light and city views that don't require explanation. privacy reads high, neighbors mostly minding their own rooftops. a proper solo coffee spot that scales up for four without anyone standing.

decent sized terrace nicely tucked in the building. this will be crucial for making it usable as the wind can wreak havoc at this elevation in the middle of midtown.

mature trees frame the skyline view, which takes years to achieve and seconds to appreciate. a direct living terrace off the bedroom with established plantings, a grill tucked in the corner, and enough room for morning coffee or evening drinks. the stepped threshold adds character. true penthouse, properly lived in.

six feet of width is where "functional" begins and "comfortable" ends. this direct living terrace threads that needle, west-facing light doing the heavy lifting while decent privacy and solid views compensate for the modest footprint. room for two chairs, a small table, evening drinks. not a dinner party, but a proper wind-down.

someone here actually gardens. that japanese maple in the corner takes years, and the flowering shrubs aren't from a staging company. ten feet wide with a proper lounge setup and a bistro table, all under a retractable awning for the days the sun remembers it exists. a second level terrace upstairs adds another 170 square feet if you need a second act.

with wind protection on three sides. this terrace is very usable, however the protection comes at a cost, there is no outstanding vie to enjoy.

this terrace has the access, size and views that make it extremely desirable,,, the one drawback is that at this elevation, wind can really affect the usability.

currently mostly raw space, with decent views, and little in the way of obstructions.

small but potent terrace with great views.
