This property, the Henry L. Atherton Villa at 5247 Independence Avenue, is among just 34 distinguished residences in this historic enclave, where even a young JFK once resided nearby in 1928. Conceived in the mid-19th century as an exclusive "suburban summer community" by affluent businessmen, this magnificent estate showcases a stunning blend of Gothic Revival architecture with refined Colonial Revival enhancements, completed in 1910 and 1914. Spanning a stately 10,000 square feet, this impressive home offers 9 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms on a serene 0.61-acre lot. The exterior preserves its rich historical character with striking features such as two chimneys, gabled slate roofs, elegant Doric columns, and a porte-cochere. Inside, the exquisite original millwork, gleaming hardwood floors, and generous windows exude timeless charm. Enter through a grand open parlor with a fireplace, once used to greet guests in sophisticated style. The first floor includes a formal dining room, a well-appointed kitchen, and two refined libraries with bay windows and fireplaces. The expansive living room opens through glass doors onto a stunning veranda, offering uninterrupted views of the Hudson River year-round. The home's split-level staircase leads to 9 well-proportioned bedrooms, thoughtfully arranged for privacy. The second floor features 5 bedrooms, including a luxurious master suite with a river-view terrace. The third floor houses 3 additional bedrooms, perfect for family or guests. Several bedrooms boast wood-burning fireplaces, adding to the home's grandeur. Enjoy breathtaking views of the river and Palisades from the spacious deck and oversized balcony. The Riverdale Historic District, designated as NYC's 54th historic district by the Landmarks Preservation Commission in 1990, is home to notable attractions such as the Perkins Estate at Wave Hill. This area offers beautifully landscaped parks, winding tree-lined streets, and an array of cafes, restaurants, and top-rated private and public schools. Located just 15 minutes from Manhattan by car, subway, or Metro-North, this exceptional estate provides a seamless blend of historic elegance and modern convenience.
