those mature pines took decades to get this sculptural. a direct living terrace at true penthouse height, fourteen feet wide with central park spread out below and billionaires row rising behind it. the stone balustrade is the kind of detail nobody builds anymore. southern and western light all afternoon, enough room for a proper dinner party, and neighbors who apparently have better things to do than look over. the view does most of the talking; the landscape does the rest.

stunning and oversized terrace with enviable views. the reflecting pool is very attractive, but has no practical purpose, that is ok, because it also does not take up any needed space.

this direct living loggia has fantastic views, making it a delightful place to be 9 months out of the year.

decent proportions and a lovely summer kitchen make this a great place, however it is not connected to the apartment.

this floorplan offers two distinct outdoor experiences. the direct living terrace is built for entertaining, boasting ample space for a full dining setup, though a prominent wall unfortunately kills a chunk of the utility. conversely, the living level terrace off the primary bedroom is functionally tight but compensates with spectacular skyline views.

two distinctly different terraces offering different experiences. the seamless connectivity with the direct living terrace make it very practical despite its lack of width, but for real entertaining, one would use the direct roof terrace.

large loggia style terrace, offering practical enjoyment of the outdoors from every major room. the loggia is also wide enough to be practical.

sixteen feet of width on a direct living terrace is the real thing, and this one knows it. the pergola with climbing vines frames a hudson sunset view that practically stages itself. seating for eight, room to circulate, water views from the sofa. some neighbor sightlines, but the social payoff outweighs the exposure.

exceptional outdoor spaces with great flexibility, and outstanding finishes. each of the two levels has more to offer than almost any terrace, together they are in a different stratosphere.

multiple terrace that work together to give the entire home fantastic indoor-outdoor flow with access to private terraces from every major room. the level of care these terraces have gotten, make it a true joy.

this terrace shows that it does not always requires a lot of money to have the perfect indoor outdoor living experience. sometimes simple things are enough to invite you outdoors on a good day.

blurring the lines between a loggia and a terrace, these outdoor spaces have the benefit of protection from the rain, but the heavy columns rob it that feeling of open sky views.
