lovely place to relax and soak up the view, without the glare of windows. at only 5 ft wide, it can handle some chairs and a bistro table, so you can play backgammon as well.

terraces of this size, combined with these views hardly ever come on the market, and when they are in a good condition like this they are not likely to stay on the market very long

the direct living and living level outdoor spaces might be small balconies, but the direct roof terrace is large enough to be super useful for outdoor living, the summer kitchen might be minimalist now but can be expanded

large space, but most of it is unimproved... the biggest unknown is how the nearby mechanicals may affect the noise level on this terrace.

too small for anything beyond smoking or lingering. but the views will make it a favorite spot for those.

although the quality of the craftsmanship is not very high. some effort was put in to make this terrace enjoyable, with a pergola providing a beautiful spot to sit and taking in dramatic views.

each of the two terraces is too small to be practical beyond just lingering.

a direct living terrace with 14 feet of width and floor-to-ceiling glass putting the city on display. those young birches in the planters will fill in nicely. the curved brick balcony overhead steals some sky, but the west-facing dusk views compensate. room for lounging, dinner, and a quiet drink after both.

stunning terrace in terms of proportions, and access to the indoor. the vegetation also adds a great view.

this is a living level terrace with spectacular proportions and rare connectivity. while the 18th-floor views on 53rd street won't win awards, the "access from everywhere" layout is a functional triumph. it’s less about the skyline and more about the seamless flow, making it a unique outdoor extension of the home.

direct living through floor-to-ceiling glass, and they've actually furnished it like someone plans to use it. at 7.6 feet wide, you're in that practical-but-limited zone; the lounge setup works, a dinner party doesn't. courtyard orientation means neighbors have sightlines and the sun plays hard to get. string lights help.
