a total of three terraces, which means that each has only space for one specific use at a time. the main terrace with its grill and wet bar is the winner

at this elevation any terrace has limited practical use, when it is only 4-5 feet wide, it is useless and most people would never venture out there.

too narrow to get much use, but the view is pretty epic, so you may just want to walk out every one in a while.

too narrow to have any social use.

terrace on this elevation are not for those with a fear of height, or even the faint of heart, but for those who can handle it, there is nothing like it.

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.

points for access from both the living room and primary bedroom are rare, ensuring a seamless flow for entertaining. the generous dimensions offer genuine utility for guest seating, while the intimate midtown views provide a dramatic backdrop. this terrace is a high-impact social asset and the primary draw for any gathering.

a second level terrace with 259 square feet sounds generous until you notice the five foot width. that is bistro territory, not entertaining territory. the caution tape in the photo suggests someone agrees. views toward midtown are solid, privacy is real, but two chairs and a coffee is the ceiling here.

some areas are too narrow to be very practical and the views are a mixed bag... but on a good day, the only things that matter is that you have a place for smoking cigars, and enjoy some much needed r&r.

excellent terrace to host charity events, or just relax with a few friends or family members.

the access; descending a metal stairs down one flight will be off-putting for some. the fact your neighbor surrounds your terrace on both sides means you better not pick a fight.
