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.

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.

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.

too narrow to have any practical purpose as a terrace.

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.

too narrow to have any social use.

just about wide enough for a dining table, this terrace is more practical than most.

large space, but most of it is unimproved... the biggest unknown is how the nearby mechanicals may affect the noise level on this terrace.

the view and the dimensions of this roof access terrace are very pleasant. the one issue with them always is as they are not directly connected to the apartment might be limited.

the small living room balcony offers immediate utility, but the rooftop cabana is a logistical chore that limits daily use. while the finishes are pleasant, the lack of seamless access makes it a "destination" rather than an extension of the home. it’s a nice-to-have retreat that rarely sees real action.

a direct roof with water towers as sculpture and loungers already in position. six hundred square feet, sixteen feet wide, mature plantings softening the gravel. the pergola offers shade, the skyline offers conversation starters, and the neighbors offer the rare gift of absence. this terrace already knows how to throw a party.
