Overview of Terra 48 at 221 East 48th Street

Terra 48 is a restored 1910 brownstone located in Manhattan, converted into six full-floor luxury residences. The building holds historical significance as the former residence of influential industrial designers Russel and Mary Wright, whose work played a pivotal role in shaping modern American living.

Each residence features direct elevator access and private outdoor space, with thoughtfully designed L-shaped living areas that reflect the building's architectural heritage. The homes are fitted with 7.5-inch white oak flooring throughout and utilize Mitsubishi split HVAC systems for climate control.

The kitchens showcase high-end appliances including Bosch professional ranges, Fisher & Paykel refrigerators, and Summit wine fridges, complemented by Calacatta Valentin quartz countertops and custom cabinetry. The primary bathrooms feature five-fixture layouts with floor-to-ceiling Ariston marble tiles, double vanities, and Kohler fixtures including soaking tubs.

The building's renovation, completed in 2024, preserves its historic character while incorporating modern amenities. The project was developed with careful attention to maintaining the brownstone's architectural integrity while adapting it for contemporary living.
