this is all about the living room, as that one is likely to be spectacular in its grandeur. the rest of the apartment is difficult to judge. the terrace is nice, but access through the primary bedroom is not.

at nearly 10 feet wide and with direct access to all the public rooms, this terrace has the location, and layout to be a perfect extension of the interior.

direct access from the kitchen is very desirable as it make for perfect summer dinner parties. the exposed brick wall makes for a perfect movie night.

in this area the 7th floor offers open vistas, and can still be palatable for those who don't like height, a proverbial win-win.

too many terraces to keep track of (7) making the outdoor accessible from every major room. but the direct living terrace is the one that all terraces in manhattan will be measured against.

if the only terrace for this home was the wrap-around, it would already be exceptional, as it is almost 10 feet wide everywhere. however, the north terrace adds a level of practicality that is almost never seen in this building style.

this terrace offers a significant footprint where the square dimensions actually allow for meaningful furniture groupings rather than a narrow corridor. while the low-floor elevation trades skyline views for a sense of enclosure, it provides excellent wind protection and a rare level of privacy for a space of this scale.

a direct roof setup with the graffiti hearts on the adjacent wall adding unexpected character. the decking is weathered in that lived-in way, two sectionals facing each other like a proper conversation pit. yes, the brick tower next door is watching, but at this height, who cares. room for six, maybe eight if everyone likes each other.

this loggia-like terrace has many things going for it, the elevation ensures excellent view, the ceiling height ensure it feels open, and the size makes it practical. the wind will limit is use to calm days.

this second level terrace delivers a high-utility 9-foot width, proving that size actually matters when you're trying to host dinner without guests falling into the planters. the mature vegetation and classic village views offer a lush, "greenwich-chic" backdrop, perfectly balancing sophisticated entertaining with the ability to ignore your neighbors in style.

the numbers suggest a better terrace than the reality, as it is too small in most areas.

excellent proportions for entertaining with distinctly separate areas for lounging and dining. the dining section comes complete with a full summer kitchen. the elevator shaft offers much needed wind protection, and is a perfect movie screen
