Welcome to Terra 48, a boutique collection of six full-floor luxury residences in a stunningly reimagined 1910 brownstone. Thoughtfully designed to blend historic charm with modern sophistication, each residence offers direct elevator access, private outdoor space, and meticulous craftsmanship throughout.

Terra 48’s storied past is enriched by its former residents, including renowned industrial designers Russel and Mary Wright, whose innovative work helped shape modern American living. Inspired by their legacy, these homes feature spacious L-shaped living areas, ideal for dining and entertaining, with a seamless flow that echoes their timeless design philosophy.

Each residence is adorned with 7.5ā€ wide white oak flooring, recessed LED lighting, and a Mitsubishi split HVAC system for year-round comfort. The chef’s kitchen is a masterpiece of both form and function, featuring custom cabinetry, Calacatta Valentin quartz countertops, a Bosch professional range, Fisher & Paykel panelized refrigerator, Bosch dishwasher, Summit wine fridge, and a vented Faber hood. Under-cabinet lighting and a Kohler fixture suite complete the space.

Primary bathrooms are designed for indulgence, with five-fixture layouts, floor-to-ceiling Ariston marble tiles, double vanities, and custom medicine cabinets. Kohler faucets, shower fittings, and soaking tubs add to the spa-like experience. Secondary bathrooms echo the same elegance with premium finishes and fixtures.

Set in the heart of Turtle Bay, Terra 48 is surrounded by architectural landmarks and a rich cultural history. The neighborhood has been home to iconic figures like Katharine Hepburn, Stephen Sondheim, and E.B. White, while the nearby Turtle Bay Gardens offers a serene, private oasis amidst the city’s energy. Conveniently located near fine dining, multiple subway lines, Grand Central Station, and FDR Drive, residents enjoy easy access to everything Manhattan has to offer.

Terra 48 is a rare opportunity to own a piece of history while embracing the best of contemporary living.
