The terrace is a private outdoor space that adds great value to an apartment. It should not be confused with a balcony, loggia or patio.

Terraces are architectural features that extend out from an apartment building. These recreational spaces can often function as separate rooms. Owners might transform them into sun rooms, gardens, or outdoor dining spaces to be enjoyed in warmer weather. Classified as examples of upscale real estate, these luxury apartments featuring a terrace for sale in Île-de-France are some buyers’ idea of the perfect home.

On the second floor of a 17th-century Parisian residential building (75006)
