This 3BR/2.5BA duplex, spread over the the second and third floors...Rare opportunity to rent a sprawling duplex with private terrace in a 25’ wide townhouse in one of Manhattan’s most charming and historic locations. Once the storied home of E.B.White, 229 East 48th is located in Turtle Bay Gardens, a landmarked group of 20 townhomes on 48th and 49th streets between Second and Third Avenues with a shared private beautiful garden courtyard with winding paths, terra cotta sculptures, and dense vegetation.
This 3BR/2.5BA duplex, spread over the the second and third floors of the home, exudes classic townhouse charm with wonderful details and character.
