Greek term or phrase: έχω πρόσωπο
"Ένα επιπλέον στοιχείο που θα έπρεπε να διερευνηθεί περαιτέρω είναι και το γεγονός ότι, για την απαλλοτρίωση μιας πλατείας υπόχρεοι σε αποζημίωση είναι μόνον όσες ιδιοκτησίες έχουν πρόσωπο σε αυτή (Ν. 5269/31, άρθρο 6, παρ. 3)"
...σημαίνει προφανώς τις ιδιοκτησίες με θέα την πλατεία..
Vicky Alyssandraki
English translation:front

This is essentially the same idea as Nevipaul's. It's just a more formal way of saying it.

face onto


Explanation:
Off the top of my head I would think "face onto it" would be fairly unambiguous, but colleagues may be able to provide a better solution.

disagree  transphy: 'Front on to....'. in my opinion, is more correct, as 'face on to' can mean 'faces towards' but NOT NECESSARILY 'FRONT' the subject. '

fronts onto


Explanation:
e.g. The National Gallery 'fronts onto' Trafalgar Square.
South Africa House ' faces onto' Trafalgar Sq. BUT DOES NOT HAVE A FRONT ONTO IT, as the two are divided by the wide Road between them.
