Property Description for 225 East 48th Street, TH
Introducing 225 East 48th Street, a meticulously renovated, move-in-ready townhouse available for rent. This exceptional residence offers four (or five) bedrooms, three full baths, three powder rooms, a private elevator, and approximately 4,500 square feet of interior living space, complemented by 1,000 square feet of beautifully landscaped outdoor space, including a roof deck, two terraces, and a private garden.
Originally built in 1867 and masterfully restored in 2016, the home seamlessly blends historic Italianate architecture with contemporary luxury. Thoughtfully preserved original details-including marble fireplace mantels and a restored gilded pier mirror-are paired with white oak herringbone floors, soaring 10'7" ceilings, custom walnut millwork, and oversized windows that fill the home with natural light.
The gracious double living room opens to a garden-facing terrace, while the Henrybuilt eat-in kitchen is appointed with premium appliances and enjoys picturesque views over the iconic Turtle Bay Gardens. The top-floor primary suite features a fireplace, dressing area, and a spa-inspired marble bath. The garden level, complete with a separate entrance, full kitchen, living room, bedroom, and garden access, offers exceptional flexibility as a guest suite or private apartment.
Modern conveniences include a Savant Pro smart home system, Zola triple-pane windows, motorized Lutron shades, Sonos audio throughout, programmable landscape lighting and irrigation, and abundant storage.
Located on a quiet tree-lined block between Second and Third Avenues, moments from Grand Central, the United Nations, and some of Midtown's finest dining, 225 East 48th Street presents a rare opportunity to lease a fully renovated historic townhouse in one of Manhattan's most distinguished enclaves.
Sorry, no pets.

Turtle Bay | Manhattan
Quick Profile
Turtle Bay is best known for hosting the world’s dignitaries at United Nations once a year as the world institution sits on the eastern edge of the neighborhood along the East River.
But this midtown location offers a lot more, a bustling neighborhood teeming with high-rise apartment buildings and an easy walk to the Midtown business district.
Over the past two decades, developers have assembled almost every corner development site along Second Avenue and have built straight up. Not much left to assemble.
Some of the more glamorous, and of course most expensive, addresses are in close proximity to the United Nations. Trump World Tower, which caused a big stir with area residents, in particular, Walter Cronkite, when it was built sits just north of the United Nations Grounds.
In contrast to the proliferation of the residential highrise, Turtle Bay does have some lovely tree-lined streets between the avenues. In particular, Turtle Bay Gardens, which fronts both 48th Street and 49th Street between Third and Second Avenue has always been a haven for the rich and famous.
