There are many places in the US where someone could live in a cabin with front yard and a view for miles, but that place is not in New York City.

The photos were featured in Gothamist on Tuesday and the New York Times previously reported that the rooftop is owned by David Puchkoff and Eileen Stukane. When the Times visited the rooftop abode, it reported that "the porch is basically a glorified bulkhead over a hole punched in the ceiling of the family’s loft to make way for a nautical stairway that rises to a landing with a galley-like kitchenette, with two paned windows and a door that opens to the roof..."

Mr Steinmetz has taken several other aerial photos of New York. See them below.
