Penthouse Balcony Terraces

An expansive stone-paved penthouse terrace with a built-in green roof feature, frosted-glass privacy dividers, and panoramic treetop views of Washington, DC.

Your Outdoor Aerie

Expansive, stone-paved penthouse terraces at Aerie are designed to be a true extension of your living space. Perched at one of the highest natural elevations in Woodley Park and Northwest DC, these balconies offer panoramic views anchored by the National Cathedral and other landmarks.

  • Seamless Indoor-Outdoor Flow: Massive sliding glass walls connect the main living spaces directly to the terrace. Because the doors slide along a low-profile, recessed floor track, the transition from indoor flooring to outdoor stone feels like moving between rooms rather than stepping outside.

  • Built-In Architectural Shelter: Penthouse roofs haves a deep, structural overhang that extends past the glass line. This provides natural shade and weather protection, allowing you to leave the glass walls wide open to catch a breeze even during a light summer rain.

  • Expansive Footprint: Enjoy plenty of room for zoning separate areas : space for a sprawling sectional, a full dining setup, or an urban container garden.

  • Integrated Greenery & Privacy: A distinctive feature of the terrace is the built-in green roof system—a low-profile bed of living vegetation that borders the stone, softening the architecture and connecting the space to the tree canopy below. Sturdy, frosted-glass privacy walls seclude your space, without sacrificing natural light.

  • Premium Masonry: Instead of basic poured concrete, apartment terraces are finished with high-end, large-format stone pavers.
