technically a terrace, but it feels like a balcony in terms of exposure, and size.

this home offers multiple outdoor spaces, including a mix of terraces and balconies. while none are large enough for substantial entertaining, each provides a pleasant spot to get fresh air or enjoy a quiet moment. the water views are an added bonus.

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.

large terrace with lots of vegetation.... too much vegetation, in fact. this place needs some tlc.

this terrace offers a footprint large enough to be a functional space for entertaining, but the immediate surroundings lack the visual draw to bring friends over. if you intend to use this as a true social hub, some serious work will need to be put in. it is a massive, utilitarian blank canvas that requires significant effort to overcome its sterile atmosphere.

this living level terrace might not have a view in a traditional sense, but peeking up an alley with fire escapes has its own new york charm

a 15-foot width provides exceptional scale for this direct living terrace, allowing for full-scale outdoor living and dining. the setting is remarkably rare; being enveloped by a mature pine forest creates a sense of total seclusion and a unique, tranquil atmosphere seldom found in such a spacious property.

three hundred square feet of direct living terrace on a true penthouse, north and east exposure catching morning light and open sky. the width here allows a proper seating arrangement without anyone feeling cornered. clean pavers, solid parapet walls, decent privacy from neighboring sightlines. good bones for a dinner party, better bones for a quiet sunday read.

the glass house design of this apartment makes the terraces an integrated part of the whole design, the execution is perfect here, with enough room for relaxation, and dining, but the pool is divine

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.

this terrace has nice dimensions; however, the prevailing winds over the hudson river can be restrictive, and the digitally removed privacy fence with the neighbor is a bit of an eyesore.

this direct roof terrace is a classic "look but don't touch" scenario. while the size is decent, access via a ladder from the primary bedroom is more of a gymnastic feat than a luxury feature. the lack of perimeter protection makes it a liability for anyone without wings.
