enviable
Inspiring others' longing
Enviable describes something desirable enough to provoke envy in others: an enviable position, enviable success, an enviable reputation.
The word carries a note of admiration—what's enviable isn't just good but notably, visibly good in a way others recognize and want for themselves.
