four feet of depth is the polite way of saying bistro seating only, and the photo confirms it. a small table, two chairs, one potted plant, and the conversation stops there. what saves this direct living terrace is the view south to billionaires' row, which does most of the heavy lifting. morning coffee with the supertalls, evening drinks with the same. good privacy, decent light, and enough space for exactly two people who like each other.

a 700-square-foot footprint is deceptive when a four-foot width kills all furniture potential. reclaiming the space by removing the solarium is the only "outdoor lover's" move here. it’s the difference between a claustrophobic glass box and a legitimate living level terrace with actual room to breathe.

these dual living level loggias frame the skyline beautifully, providing a sophisticated, "open-air" extension to the interior. while the narrow width favors intimate "personal loitering" over large-scale dining, the twin vantage points offer a rare, private dual-perspective that is perfect for a quiet morning coffee above the city.

direct living with fifteen feet of width and a hot tub already installed, which is doing most of the personality work here. the frosted glass parapet solves the neighbor sightline problem but also eliminates any view worth mentioning. a blank slate that needs furniture, greenery, and someone with a vision. the bones are generous; the current staging is a rug on concrete.

lovely direct roof terrace with a rare built-in fireplace and kitchen. perfectly located to create separate areas for living and dining.

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.

that floor-to-ceiling glass wall does the heavy lifting here, turning a 240 square foot second level terrace into something that feels like an extension of the living room. mature planters already in place, a proper seating arrangement, and north-facing light that stays soft all day. room for six at drinks, comfortably.

fourteen feet of width on a direct living terrace means you can actually furnish the thing, and someone has. the wooden planters lining the perimeter are a nice touch, though the virtual staging is doing heavy lifting here. west-facing at this level means afternoon light filtered through mature street trees, which softens the neighbor sightlines nicely. a proper outdoor room for four, maybe six if everyone's friendly.

glass railing, two chairs, a side table, and just over six feet of width. this direct living terrace does exactly one thing well: morning coffee for two with a corridor view of midtown brick and glass. neighbors can see you, you can see them. nobody's throwing a dinner party out here.

this terrace offers an entire outdoor living experience, proving the versatility of direct roof terraces. the fireplace, spa, and kitchen are fantastic, but the large tv., and wc ensure you can stay there for hours.

the location and access to the terrace are fantastic as is the size. the one drawback is that it currently has no view and the privacy fences are probably put up for a reason.
