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.
